I have been saying for a long time that Chevrolet was going to try and compete with the big boy on the Block "Enzo"

Well if the new Japlonik rendition of the C7 is close it is a cross between the 599 and 575M. Can you say Sexy.

WOW, I guess I'm liking that. Curves and lines all seem right.
The BIG butt of the C5 and C6 is gone.
Sure would like to see more angles.

Need more front aero-grip after dark! LOL I miss them too!


That's a very sweet looking ride! I like that a lot! Wow is all I can say if that is indeed what the C7 will look like. :fahne:

I agree and put the fuel filler in the back in the middle. I like with the C4 not caring which isle I go into to refuel.

All they would need to do is change the marker lamps.

You may never see that again ever with engineering targets for weight distribution and safety regs that no longer allow the gas tank to be the first line of defense against a collision.

I'm starting to like the C7, but they have slowly been raising the C6 prices enough to get people ready for the idea that vettes are all going to start at $55k for the base model.

I like the b-pillar glass a lot. giant curved hatch glass weighs too much.

The rendering sure uses the lighting to great effect. I like what I see but this is like looking at a woman in bar-lite, then next morning...
Let's see.

I like the halo lighting you see on the Bimmers and Camaro.

I think the "halo" look is fine for women. It has something that's dainty about it.

Very Interesting looks promising. But will it fit tall folks with out the head banging into the roll bar on the coupe when you shift gears? That is the problem I have with the C5 and 6. Only the verts work for me.

Not a big fan....if one wants something that looks like a
Ferrari, buy a Ferrari.

Same here, I don't dig all these ferrari look-a-like concepts.

I would like to think it will still have plenty of VETTE to it in order to remain true to form.

Time will tell all I guess.

I gave up on bikes after surfing a 85 V-max back when I was young and stupid, Low and behold I am now old and stupid. My Daughter bought a Yamaha FZ6R last year and I took it for a ride. not more than three minutes later I was doing a wheely for about a 50 yards. I guess the stupid switch is still inside my head.

Kevin we saw one at the Steak house when we were in Carlisle, I thought it was gorgeous. But, to be honest if I had 500K to throw away it would not be on one car. Well, Maybe if there was an F40 that I could buy.

I saw one when I was in columbus at a charity car show that my friend had her LFA in. if I hadn't seen the badge, I wouldn't have known what it was. Fairly unremarkable car

Wheels look a bit better but the body looks like it went through one
of those narrowing allies in Rome and got squished in about a foot.
The supposed C7 looks better.
