I agree - if the C7 side profile is like or close to what we have seen it will be a very nice looking change to the car, the front and back are the other issues!

First I've seen of this. The shape of the car matches that of C7 on the banner though. Some were saying that the rear end wouldn't slope like that and were blaming it on wrinkles in the banner. I think that slope to the rear facia will be really nice compared to the more recent vettes that are more or less flat and vertical. The car has some really nice lines from this silhouette.

Stange. The Japlopnik rendering has a vertical rear and this one is raked like a GTR or Mustang. Also, the earlier rendering has a curved rear beltline acroos the top of the rear fender and this one is straight as an arrow. Hmmn..we might be surprised tomorrow night.

If you are truly looking at an exact profile of the car the center of the C7 rear fascia juts out further than the rear corners and may create a different silhouette .
