The C7 looks like they gave creative freedom to a 7 year old with some crayons and ran with it.

I'd love to meet the 7 yr old who designed the c7. He has a bright future in making great looking cars that are also aerodynamically proven!

i remember when jalopnik released their C7 rendering tons of people thought it looked like crap (me being one of them). however, like with most cars the design grow on people over the years.

I don't know. The new ones look nothing at all like the original Corvettes.

Not every sports car can have a huge gapping grill up front and fake air vents.

Exactly. Some have to be 30 grand and some are 130 grand.

Large and fake grill on a sports car you say!? Granted, the air vents do serve a real function.

A couple of days later I saw him and asked him about it. He confirmed it's the Supra. He also told me that it's also the new Z4. He said both cars are almost identical. The Supra on the driveway still had BMW badges under the hood. The Z4 will only be a convertible compared to the Supra being a coupe. He said he prefers to drive the Supra. It's a small car but very stiff chassis. Because of that he wouldn't recommend it as a daily driver. But, it handles great in the canyons.
The Z4 and Supra are the same with 3 different variances of engine's. From low hp to high hp they are
Forgot the size of the engine .
But, low hp is single turbo
Mid level is 3.0L Twin Turbo
High level is 3.0L Twin Turbo with Electronic Assistance (Approx 400hp)
Whether you believe me or not. I don't care. I'm not in the market to buy the Supra. I have a C7 Z06 already.

But, it does sound like a fun car to drive
