The rear looks ridiculously huge and boxy, I hope the proportions don't appear that unbalanced once the camo is off. Also that wing is horrible.

That's where everything will go eventually. Screens are cheap and easy.


Every c5 zo6 I see makes me want to do donuts. The newer ones, not so much. Looking forward to this without camo.

yikes that rear end is not very flattering.

Thought it'd look better than that.

Well in fairness the picture is taken from the perspective of a person 6" tall. May be fine when seen from a normal angle.

I'm withholding judgement. The photo is looking up at an elevated tilted-down image. It's like taking someone picture looking up at their face. Not ever going to look good.

I'm OK with screens, as long as they are in the proper location (yes, I'm talking to you Tesla).

A different angle won't change the Camaro taillights, cheap piano black plastic, and civic type R vents.

I’ve never been a fan of the Corvette’s looks. Pretty much every gen has been ehhh. I’m not expecting much from the styling department as usual, but this gen should be a great value as always.
