C6 to C7 there are a lot. New transmission (updated version of the old, but still very new)
LT1 motor is an all new design, only a handful of things carried over

The frame went from steel to all aluminum.

The electronics in the car also got a serious upgrade, that is where I think the bugs will be found.

Yep

The real reason to wait would be if you're interested in the next gen Z06

Plenty of issues. all resolved under warranty but they had issues from weak crank bolts to ecu programming issues, brake pad issues, roof panel issues, etc.

The rear bumper is too busy. Looks like the back end of a Camaro and LFA in the worst way. The two tone is terrible, too far up. That is by far my largest complaint. Not that I mind change, but telling me all those vents are active is not a reason to have it in that location. Function still had to follow form's rules and it struck out. The front bumper needs to lose that plastic grill too. There is no character or anything memorable for that matter when I see the front bumper. Probably because they used it all in that asstastic bumper. Profile is nice, interior is nice, engineering seems solid, just wish they focused a little less on the rear and put it in the front.

^thats super sexy, but imagine it with black wheels and it would look even better.

I would not want the color match option myself. black vents with white body= contrast and panda lives on.

I don't think I'd want the color match either seeing as how:

1) If I get dark blue it doesn't matter

2) If I get red, because racecar

m4a1mustang · 01-16-2013, 01:08 PM

Oh man white is sexy.

m4a1mustang · 01-16-2013, 01:11 PM

Econ · 01-16-2013, 01:14 PM

I like blue and green

EDIT: Delited BLUE as it is above

m4a1mustang · 01-16-2013, 01:15 PM

I need to see it in dark green. I think that would look nice.

Black is sinister.
