Default PHOTO - C7 and C6 Exiting the Plant

Spotted this LB C7 with a Red C6 behind it exiting the main road to the Corvette plant in Bowling Green during the April Bash. So seeing them together, what do think??????

I think they are both great looking cars. Personally, I prefer the sharper lines of the C7.

I still consider the C6 to be a VERY attractive line of vehicles but OMG the nose of that C7 is spectacular for sure.

Man that's a nice picture. Even better is the plain jain non car guys car off to the side to give a nice comparison to.

Both of them look so damn good it hurts. Especially when your eyes drift left, and you realize just how much of an eye sore most modern vehicles really are.

I love the 5th, 6th, and now the 7th even more! Great picture!
I was at the plant taking pictures around 10:30 this morning, wish I would have seen them leaving...

C7 looks tighter, leaner, and more aggressive. Both nice though!

This was on Friday around 3pm or so. On Friday morning around 7am, a whole semi-truck was loaded with C7 leaving the plant. Covered in white but you knew what they were. I didn't get the camera out fast enough. I was so caught off guard.

Posting another pic in a separate thread. The driver and his date(s) of this car!

Look like the same basic car with the C7 having more surface detailing.

...and a lot less bulk. The C7 gives the impression of what modern mid engine cars look like rather than front engine.

What do think ?

The deep lines between the front fenders and the hood bulge are interesting and best in a low front view rather than a high side view.

The jut-forward fins on the lower front are not good.

The jut-out wings near the rocker panels are too much.

The black venting looks like plastic. I would rather have satin stainless-steel

Beauty and the Beast, this is how I will describe it.
C6 has that beasty sinister look, love it. (Hope this won't change after a few months when the C7 hits the roads).
C7 beautiful as a modern design vehicle.

I will always be a big fan of both cars. Proud to own my '05 LMB vert and will be proud to own a C7 coupe this time around.

The C7 is evolutionary not revolutionary. Corvette styling has been since the C4. No doubt what keeps the faithful coming back.

It seems to me there are fewer C7 bashers then this past winter. Both of these Corvettes have style and class. I do not like every feature of both models but who cares. Over all the new C7 is a winner, like its older brother.
