Exactly! I bet somewhere there is a firebird enthusiast wishing they could complain about how their car looks to much like the new camaro. It will be like every other generation, when I had my c4 I hated the rear end of the c5 but it eventually grew on me and I eventually bought one. When I had the c5 I hated the c6 thought it was the ugliest corvette ever, but that too grew on me and now I think they are the nicest ones yet of course without seeing a c7 in person. Now with my c6 I would never get rid of it and go back to a c4 or c5. I dare someone to drive a c7 and say their stock c4-c6 is a superior car. The fact is we all hate change but I have a feeling that once we all get used to seeing them in person we will be drooling in envy of them.

I happen to love the new look-- seriously debating whether I should get a C2 or dump my c5 and pick up a c7. It looks amazing.

I fail to see how this thread is in any way beneficial, at this point in time, and in this section.

The C7 just needs one of these.



I love the C7 minus the back end. I could live with it, but I like the round lights better.

Why does someone want to buy a kit and make the rear of their C7 look like a C5 ?
Its a free country. If you dont like the new C7, which seems like an awesome car to me, dont f****** buy one. Its that simple.

I think the more important question is why did Chevy decide to put a Camaro *** on the new Corvette? At least a C5 *** is still a Corvette ***, right?

It's like my wife and her sister. Look at them in a picture and they both look great. Get them right in front of you and one is very obviously built for speed and the other one is well, okay.

I'm lucky. I got the speedy one.

You got a sister-in-law that looks like a chubby Camaro?

If anything they decided to put the camaro *** on a vette. The camaro rear looks a lot like the 69 camaro. I think they look similar, but I also see several differences. I think the rear side windows look more like the camaro than the rear end does. Has another Vette ever had those rears side windows ?
