The spreadsheet I posted earlier is as good a config as you're going to find right now.

I've settled on a config, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Interesting the dealers I've talked with are not hounding me on the phone. I told them I wanted to pay under MSRP - they both laughed!

Just.... yuck!

The lines are all wrong.

The rims are ugly.

The ***-end is gross, almost looks like a CTS-V Coupe ***-end with it being so ginormous and up in the air.

It kind of looks like someone different designed each profile of the car. I like most of it though minus the rear end, that is just horrible. At the same time I hated the 370z when it first came out as well. I ended up with two of them at one point

Honestly, I don't really like any angle of this new Vette, but that's me. I really like the C6 and this just took the sharp angles too far.

As for the Z, I fell in love with it from every angle when I first saw it. Which I normally don't do (unless it's an exotic of course

).

Maybe it's just the sharp angles/edges of the new Vette? I dunno.

That is how a felt about the 370, it was to different from the 350 that I loved so much. The more I saw the 370 in person the more I liked it. I hope the same holds true for this Vette for me.

Love the way it looks, but want to see if they do a widebody like the c6 z06

Mr&Mrs · 08-27-2013, 09:05 PM

Ya I agree, its as if they added lines just for the sake of adding lines.

Have you tried Kerbeck?

Zoren 370 · 08-29-2013, 06:24 AM

Can't compare the z to the vette. The z is a woman with nice smooth perfect rear curves in the hips and bun. The vette is a an American alpha male whale

......but I love both if I had the money ill have both in my garage!

Well I finally saw one of these in person over the weekend. It was Blue and I fell in love with it. I came out of the grocery store and it was parked as far away as possible but it caught my eye right away. I seen the tail lights come on and sprinted to my car to try and catch the guy.

It was to late to ask for a tour but I was able to run him down on the road in time to see him make a Uturn and come right back at me. I going to make a trip to the dealer and try to test drive one of these puppies.

Probably a year or two away from even thinking of buying though because I would want the best packages and I can't afford it right now.

Miss the power but really love my nismo!!

Haboob · 10-07-2013, 08:34 AM

Saw two in person Saturday.

I still do not like them. They looked a little better than what I saw in pictures, but I still cannot accept them as a true Corvette.

Hey man I understand but to me it was night and day, pictures vs seeing it in person. The only car that is just as bad in my eyes is a R35. I cant stand pictures of them but when your in the cars presence it is different.

I just thought I would share my rather quick opinion change. It onyl took me seeing and hearing it once
