I would like to see that design with two changes;

1) Change the side gills to be more like the 63-64 side treatment. That would tie in the C2 styling but, also would be very similar to what is currently on the ZR1

2) Change the rims, they are too big and "ricer-ish" to me.

Overall I think that is a great design and would really generate some excitement in the dealerships.

Nice job

Now that is a C7 I would buy.

But I agree, not a good wheel for that car.

I'm not into retro cars but I DO like this design better than any of the other guesstimated C7 drawings!

Not a fan. I'm not into retro looks. And it looks like the front wheels are larger than the back as well...

It's a cool drawing though.

I love the look, but hate the wheels. Can anyone photoshop the transformer car wheels onto this drawing?

Well, as the owner of both a '67 and an '06 - I like it!

But - I do agree about the wheels. And, for today's market there better be a rear hatch back access. Nobody's gonna put up with the access to the cargo area being through the front seats!

it’s a tough job redesigning a C7 on C2 …. very easy to do on a C3 basis in comparison

I would buy that car if the power is there too. But I would change the rims. Thats a new look but keeps the vette style and I think it would sell pretty well. Also I would take out the side window line on the driver and passenger sides. I dont like split windows on the sides. But looks really cool otherwise.

Love the back wondow.

Just take the common between the two terms.5 c^2 d^3 (3 d^2 + 5 c^5).

I like it, but seriously I dont think C7 will have any retro to it.

Nice looking design.

One of the better ones I've seen so far.
