[Official] C7 Corvette Thread

Opinions are like azzholes. Either way, I still generally like the design even with my perceived view of certain flaws. I wouldn't scratch it off my list. I've always wanted a Corvette but the price/interior always spoiled it for me. Couldn't justify the price due to it. Now the interior (Minus Button Ebrakes) is super-awesome.

OVERALL, this is still the BEST Corvette to date.

1963 and 1967 might disagree with you. But we will see.

I was born in the 70's. So my experience with them made that statement.

Best engineered, emphatically YES. Most beautiful, no, not in my opinion.

The headlights look Very similar to the Ferrari F12's, am I right ? ? .

not to mention the whole profile,

there's def more than a passing resemblance, but that's not a bad thing imo.

still not 100% sold on the rear end but it's def going to be a great car and kudos to chevy for finally offering real seats in their sports car.

Yea, I like that they resemble eachother. If Chevrolet did copy from Ferrari, I see that as them having balls. Bring themselves closer with the best in the world of performance cars. . .

well, it's only fair seeing as how ferrari leased GM's magnetic ride control tech for use in their 458 if iirc.

Excuse me, I saw a commercial with a Cadillac keeping up with a ferrari because GM birthed magnets in suspspenshuns, so obviously all your arguments are null and voided.

But honestly, I don't really care. I think the suspension advances at work in both GM products and Ferrari products are really exciting!

So went to the car show this weekend. Was SUPER hard to see it because there was about a thousand people around it but from what I saw I really liked it. The interior looked great! If I was to pick on one part of it, it would be the front. I found it looked small and not aggressive? Does that make sense? Like it was not strong. Probably just me. I'm sure when I see it again next it'll look different.

Overall. It's a hot car. I got some pictures, I will try to post them tomorrow

so who says Corvette taillights need to be round and these aren't legit? Anyone remember the C4?

And the C5 had oval taillights

Not my work, but i like it.

I definitely approve of these if they were going to go different??? Though I prefer just staying classic on the lights...
I don't think the new tails will make it past the next refresh. Doesn't matter if the C4 had ovals. At least oval is 90%of round. These camaro lights will upset the purists. And purists are 75% of corvette buyers.

Put some gold wheels on that one and you could have 49er Super Bowl celebration edition!
