Saw C7 at Toronto Autoshow
I did not get that "gotta have it" feeling like I did when the C6 Z06 was introduced. The C7 has lost a lot of mass from the rear, & I think the tail lights look like more a Camaro in real life opposed to the pictures. There was also a 2013 427 GS & 2013 ZR1 about 100' from the C7, which had its own large audience. I found myself being drawn back to the ZR1. That's my opinion, you guys don't like it I don't care.

From the pics I've seen it seems like the C7 is "tall." Is this true in person. Or is it the very large mouth making it seem this way? Also is the C7 just as low to the ground as the C6?
And agree with you. First time I saw a C6Z I was amazed and in love. It was a black one and it looked like a Batmobile. Awesome!

I disagree! After seeing the C7 in person I have the "gotta have it" feeling even more badly than I had for the C6. I already wanted the C6 pretty badly for many years, but now my plan is to skip over that generation completely and go straight for the C7 in a few years.

One thing I don't understand is why GM did not keep all the Corvettes together at the auto show. It made it really difficult to compare. I mean the C7 was parked 100' from the GS and the ZR1. The C7 had security and there were kids jumping in all over the ZR1, with no security .

So the Camaro is more Corvette, than the new C7 is?
