It has a roundness that reminds me of the 1968- front ends without the flip up headlights

Makes sense for states that require front plate. I'm sure this was a bugaboo for dealers with the C6 and the stick on.


I have no problem with the front end it's the a@@ end that I don't like.

Its pretty simple. Give the c7 a couple years to work out the recall and tsb issues (like every model) if the car grows on me I'll get one. Right now its not impressive enough for me to sell my modded c6. Also need a couple years for the aftermarket to catch up. Because 450, that's it!
