The better looking derrière?

I know the later cars are quite a bit taller than the C4's, but unless you are seated it doesn't show up in standing pictures. Being low and wide looks wide because of the long rectangle type of profile where as the C7 is more square and blocky due to its height. which one is actually wider?

Mike,

The C4 appears diminutive in contrast to the C7. It almost looks like a quaint English sports car in comparison. And this was "just" a Stingray.
The Z06 would be a behemoth. Also, part of the contrast is how simple the C4 looks and busy the C7 is. Not a fan of the stripes, at least not on that color red.
However, of the last 3 generations, the C7 is the one I would trade my ZR for.

When the C4 was introduced I was slow to appreciate its styling & beauty. When the C5 was introduced I was again very slow to appreciate it ... even thought it a bit ugly.

I now have a C4 ZR-1 and a C5 ZO6 and don't wish to part with either of them. I like & appreciate both.

But when the C7 was introduced I was instantly smitten ... I would really like to add one to the collection.

Nice contrast of how styling has changed over the years, I would also love to have a C7 but would not give up my ZR-1..

I'd only want the C7Z. Kinda partial to the wide bodies! Even with the C6, the base model just doesn't do it for me. The wide bodies look so much better!

I perked up the c5 styling a bit with a tiger shark front and chin spoiler and a specter werkes rear with the small moulded in duck tail spoiler

the tiger shark rear was too much for me.

the c5 is a very stiff car in comparison to the ZR-1. The LSV has tortured the c4 frame and I run with an r&d race bar as I think it's stiffer that way than with the top and plus I like the top off

Wow, those pix on the previous page really tell the tale don't they? The latest and greatest doesn't look so hot compared to a real "Classic" design.

All those design elements on the C4 ZR-1, from as far back as the fifties, simply and seamlessly integrated into a gorgeous machine.
The C7 is a technological tour de force, but I'll never get used to the wrapper.

Way too "Star Wars" for this old boy.

Frank, I agree, after I think Bentley, the next thought is C4 Corvette...
