Default Which is slicker??

I'm not hatin here. Personally if I could swing getting a C7 black/black right now, I would park it next to my current baby my black/blackC5Z. But to me side by side the C5Z seems to have sleeker lines IMO. Maybe the C5Z has a timeless look huh?

C5 is timeless, but the C7 will be as well IMO. I really like the looks of it, my problem w/ the C7 is its just too refined, too cushy, too luxorious, way more of a GT car than a muscle/sports car EVEN IF it is faster than a C5Z (although not sure about that base stingray vs. C5Z, the Z may still be faster) - A C7Z would be a different story.

Oh yeah, and 6 forward gears is plenty for me, that 7th is the biggest porsche ripoff I've seen in quite a while LOL

The C5 is slicker, lower coefficient of drag.
