Corvette forum members were slamming the new designs..stating too foreign (far east) looking. Seats are cool, but just remind me of lfa type design and the front of those pics looks a bit aston martin...hard to tell w/the wrap on it but appears to be less shapely overr front fenders and side than its predecessor....i hope they dont f' it up.

To this day I still think the C5 FRC/Z06 is the best looking Vette ever made...

Seats are looking good and I'm happy they finally fill in the center exhaust area with all tips. Always kind of bothered me how there was a gap between the two pairs of tips. Looks like they may have some creative aero somewhere on the top of the rear fenders. I'm sure it will be a killer car.

False, C6Z>FRC/C5Z. A vette looks so good with wider fenders.

I love the C6Z too but IMO it is too "big" (if that makes sense). The C5Z looks smaller and more nimble. Throw some L5 fender flares and one of those wrap around lip spoilers on and it is perfect. One day I will own one and those will be my first 2 mods...

Jalopnik took drawing renderings and constructed what they think it will look like (base c7)...very ferrari 2+2 from the side...definately more of a european flair to it.

After seeing that, I dont think I like so much. Hopefully it will change a bit before they actually build the production model.

definantly not a fan of the blatantly obvious european styling... they call them american cars for a reason, bc they are like no others. with the c6 we built it and beat em now with the c7 we are looking to be them

The only thing that would make me even remotely interested is if those vents in the car cover on the back hatch is to allow the engine heat to escape because they finally decided to step into the 21st century, and put the engine int he rear...................which is not the case.
