I like the C7 tail, but that spoiler looks out of place.

That's the Z07 (Track package) spoiler & it's adjustable. Clear in center for visibility. Sometimes real Aero isn't always aesthetic...

Reminds me that while driving from Savannah GA to Akron Oh today I saw a brand new 2014 Stingray DOA on the side of the road between Columbia SC and Charlotte NC. Also my daughter's father in law works for Goodyear's Performance Tire Division in Akron and he told me at the Christmas party a couple weeks ago that they have already blown up 2 engines in the 2014 Stingray during tire testing at the Akron test track.

Seats. Steering feel. Shifter feel. Brake feel (barely).

I made the mistake of taking a Z06 (not a C7 obviously ) for a spin after a 911. Never ever drive a C6 vette after a 911 unless your goal is to see how bad the C6 is.

The C7 fixed these issues though, and I'm looking forward to driving one soon.. although not to soon since it might result in a fire sale of my other cars

Clearly you don't remember the late 70s and early/mid 80s Corvettes....

Well, I'm no fan of Corvette styling from ~1974-1979, but the 1980-82 cleaned things up a bit. To me, 1968-1972 were the best-looking of that voluptuous/ostentatious era, but in any case none of the C3 Corvettes had all the busy-looking creases and vents of the C7.

Mid-80s means C4, which was a MUCH cleaner design than the C7 is.



In comparison, the C7 is LITTERED with spurious hard lines and vents all over the place.

I love my ZR-1, but the new Z is pure sex to me...

But, C4 you say???

The best looking C4 of all, the '90 ZR-1, IMO--but then I'm partial (going on my 20th year of ownership w/ this bad boy).
