All domestics look different from one another, can't just group them all because they are from the US. Dodge vs Chevy vs Ford... each is very different. It's not the country that determines the look, it's the design team.

It already feels like you're getting kicked in the *** when you nail it!

But I hear yea, will probably look into some goodies for it in the next few months.

But none are unique design's. ford, dodge, chevy none have stepped out the box of the domestic look. Sure a mustang looks different then a Camaro... ect. the 370z is a 4 year old car and people still ask me what kind of car it Is. Look at the NSX, 300zx, Supra, 370z they are all... "to me" unique.

Oh the ford GT is an exception ;)

They ask what kinda of car it is because it's so damn rare! Doesn't hurt that the Z is sexy as hell, but the scarcity of them is really what's driving that.

People never asked about my 350z since there was a million of those things sold, but the 370z was different.

When the new Camaro first came out it was pretty awesome, now... there are WAY too many.

I think the pontiac solstice was a unique design but, crappy suspension and poor ergonomics kept the solstice from being the classic it should've been.:tiphat:

I hsve to agree with all your statements though. :iagree:

Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers and even Vettes are everywhere especially around here. Taking nothing away from the Z06 as I would take one in a heart beat. But as far as the design team I think they got the C7 near perfect. Sure it pulls from other designs but there isnt much you can do these days to be different. I am not completely sold on the looks of the rear end the jury is still out on that until I see one in person.

The C7 vette will be on the short list when the time comes to upgrade.

bigdog1250 06-06-2013 12:33 PM

The C7 looks really good in person, however I couldn't buy the base model as i love widebody vettes! Performance is definitely there with the Z51 package, but it just doesn't look aggressive enough for me.

Once the new ZR1/Z06 models come out, I'll definitely look to upgrade but it will be several years out for sure.

Agreed, along with new M3 and Cayman S. Will be looking to possibly swap out the Z in 2016. Give Chevy & BMW a couple of years to get the majority of the bugs out, plus my Z will only be 3 model years old, so I should still have good resale value.

Long overdue, but here she is with new shoes:

colors complement each other, nicely done.

digging that color combo ....... Orioles! LOL :tup:

Nice choice. I love the Z06's and the C7's now really catch my eye. I got to play with a new C7 equipped with the 7-speed manual.... its owner was not seasoned at rowing his own gears, so I soaked up the glory of beating him off the line and through a few roll races... he couldnt seem to get it nailed down... But I could tell that car could move with the right driver. I'll just wait for them to depreciate and buy one 2-3 years old :)

Yea even the base C7 is crazy fast (3.9 0-60) and is almost the same performance levels as the C6 Z06. I really want to drive one to see how the handling differs from my Vette but I could never buy a base one. Would have to go with a Widebody version. Can't wait to see how the new Z06 does once it hits the road in the next few months.

Agreed, they are just too pricey right now to justify buying one. When the used C7's come in around $45k I'll have one in my garage I'm sure!
