Default Lots of C6Z06 / C7 Comparison Photos

More pics of our Victory Red C6 Z06 with a few C7's......

These were taken with an iPhone so they are not great, but they should be interesting.

Wow... great pictures and thanks for posting. Beautiful cars all around!!!

In those front on pictures the C7 actually appears to be wider than the C6Z06 but I suspect that isn't the case. Did it look like that in person too or is it an effect of the camera?

God that C6Z looks old beside the C7. Talk about last generation & new generation.

Cyber Grey also looks awesome in this pic. Im generally a red vette fan (duh..) but the CG car looks like something from the future.

Both beautiful Vettes. The Stingray looks like they took the form and honed it further, sharp lines and edges. It looks sharp..... no pun intended but the styling makes it look like a refined instrument. Stingray already looks pretty wide....maybe for the Z version they just flare out the fender lips to stretch over future wider tires?

Most car reviewers I see do reviews of the C6 Z cars usually start out with "This is a big car..." and they don't exactly have a pleasantly pleased look on their face when they say it. Usually the Euro reviews that mention that though. C6 still looks good to me and will be for many years to come but the C7 is a welcomed change of styling. I don't miss that glass hatch one bit.

I still love the C6/C6 Z06/C6 ZR1/Grand Sport styling and feel that they all still hold up well even today...but the C7 is clearly more contemporary/modern looking and truly is an attractive looking car in my opinion.

Thanks for the pics. Beautiful car. I like the c7 front, but the tail doesn't impress me. Looks like they removed a lot of glass and created a blind spot.

I agree, dig the front...hate the rear!

owning a red c6z makes me kind of appreciate these photos.

IMO the c7 looks great from the quarter views, but terrible from the dead on front and rear.

overall, this is the first time I've really studied them next to a c6 and I have to say, I'm happy with the c6 for sure.

Thanks for the pictures.

The front grill on that C7 is awkwardly large.

I know the Cormaro taillights and blocky black plastic bottom look like they belong on a different car

Thanks for posting the pictures. Those pictures give a good comparison between the two generations. Both great looking Vettes in my opinion.

Fenders are even more exaggerated on the C7 than they were on the C6. Ties in nicely with the C3's coke bottle look.

I really like a lot of the lines of the C7, but I have to agree with the corner that hates the rear end..... its ugly. You could take the corvette emblem off it and put on a Pontiac Aztec emblem or something like that and it'd be more at home I think. Its definitely not the clean look that the corvettes have always had.

I like the front of the C7 though.... the lines around the headlights are outstanding as is the lines coming off the roof top.

I'd trade in my C6Z06 tomorrow for one if it had a little more motor and a more traditional corvette rear. Just have to wait to see what comes in the future.

Thanks for sharing OP !!

Thanks for taking the time to take the pictures and post them Glen. Great side by side comparison! Both cars look fantastic. The CG looks great from all angles (I even like the back in CG)!

Its guys like you that help everyone out when they snap opportune pictures pre-production. THANKS!

I don't like the rear but you can't deny that the c7 looks pissed off.
