Nice shots, where were they taken?
For yesterday's Las Vegas Nationwide race I could've SWORN I saw a yellow C7 pacing the race. Had no idea WTH it was UNTIL I saw the rear end. Even then I had to rub my eyes.
I'd not heard a thing here --or anywhere else, FTM-- a C7 was to pace the LV races. Same car should be pacing today's Cup race for anyone interested to confirm my aging eyes.

I want that rear on my c6, can someone make one for me? This my prediction of the Future. Remember you heard it here first.
I really do like the back end. It makes the Corvette and Camaro cousins. lol.

From the rear it looks like someone took an AMC Marlin "fastback" and grafted Camaro tail lights on it. The biggest styling goof in my opinion since the Ford Edsel grill. They never held public group previews of this "committee" design and that was a big mistake. They also tried to establish a "Chevrolet look" to the rear end, thus why it looks similar to the new Camaro. It's bad enough they put the Corvette engines and F55 suspension in the Camaro, but intentionally making them look alike was a big mistake. Who wants to be confused with a Camaro?

According to R&T Magazine and their review "The Internet commentariat, rising from their burrito-stained armchairs, will profess to hate every inch." Guess that's what they think of the Corvette Forum!
Real classy publication! However, it may be to their surprise that some people like the C7, some like parts of it and some feel it's just not to their taste. Time will be the judge on how well it's received. It's really dependent on personal preference. IMO
A number of enthusiasts of the Corvette embrace other generations of the car even though it's not what they have in their garage. eg. C1, C2
C3, C4, C5, C6 and now the C7. And we're all part of the forum.
Couldn't expect them to be complimentary, I suppose since they have an ingrained enthusiasm for all the foreign, exotics versus the Corvette.
Although, they do express that the Corvette has reached world class status. Plus, commentary at the Geneva Auto Show made note "that a lot of the Europeans really gravitate to the Corvette.
