Nice photo! Too bad the white car is in the way.

You know, I was not entirely sold on the new styling. I still like the look of the C6. I think its still got some life left in it. But I think that might change when the C7Z arrives.

I've seen about a dozen or so C7s so far. The C7 looks great from some angles but does look awkward and convoluted from other angles. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either.

I think the C6Zs has aged and will continue to age very well. Hard to believe the car is almost 10 years old now, reveal was January 2005.

imo: c6z captures the classic look vettes should have. c7 somehow looks smallish to me; don't care for the backend too much; and the body crease lines get too busy in places and are a little tuff on the eyes from certain angles. That said, it's still a Corvette and they did a pretty good job "advancing" the next generation for the audience they are trying to recruit. I looked at C2's, metal bumper C3's and C6Z's and would have been happy with any of them (had to have a 427 though). Anyway, your blue Z looks azum - good picture !

Love it. Why does that GTR in the foreground have a guitar emblem on it. Crazy Ricers will stick anything on a car.

Lol must be the "track edition". Yea.

Oh certain angles are not kind to a C7. That said, the C7Z being wider and with aero pieces should be ded sexy. I know I'm going to want one.

The rear end looks bad no matter what angle u look at it from

You got a cool car there man....can't believe you got rid of those ceramic brakes! Crack is a helluva drug.

Had to. Bank forced my hand financially. Made me put down 35% on my fixer upper. I have a feeling these brakes will come down to sane price levels in the next few years, especially with the new Z06/Camaro offering them now.

Nice looking car. Where in Tampa are you located? I'm pretty certain you were at Formato's shop. There is a black Z on his lift getting things which is mine.

I don't why anyone would paint that lower facia same color as the body. Even uglier now.

LS9Drew
