The C6 already looks dated!

There is for sure only one generation Sting Ray 
Sorry but i can not say that i agree with you on this matter
I like every generation of Corvettes but only one generation of Corvettes are my favorite
It would be boring if we all had the same taste

The C4 looks way better than all but the first 3 years of C3 
and in the 80s had a much better tail end, and Real Gills. That and I like it's lines abit more than the C5.
I got my favorite vette first. C4!
I've lusted after the C4 since I was like 8 years old. Given that I'm turning 28 this year, I think that's close enough to timeless.
The only ''ugly'' vette in my opinion is the C2.
Before I get flogged, I wouldn't turn it down. It's just the difference between say, Kiera Knightley from Pirates of the Carribean, and Kate Beckinsale from Underworld to me.

I don't think so.
In convertible form it's hot. But it definitely isn't the best vette in hard top.
And since I'm not big on convertibles (due to a myriad of reasons)....
We all have our favorites.
I know quite a few guys that think the C1 is the best looking vette.
And I know guys that love the C5 the most.
That's the cool thing about Vettes. There's one for every body.

My car is a coupe with factory air and L76
But if people think the C7 looks very modern now i would think that when the 1963 Corvette Stingray was launched back in 1963 it really must have looked modern for sure
I think that never have any generation of Corvettes looked more different and modern than the 1963 StingRay when it was launched

the coupe was always cooler than the vert. In the mid sixties the coupe was supreme. I wish I had my 64 coupe small block with air, back. It was a sweet car, and actually much better than my friends big block cars. They rode like tanks. the small block was much easier to live with on a daily basis.

Not my video, and just used as an example of how good the C6Z looks. I agree not the place for hotrodding, but not the point of discussion.

While the base C6 does look a bit outdated, the wide body GS/Z06/ZR1 dosen't. The aggressive appearance of the widebody C6 is found in the C7. While there is no "wide body" C7 (because there is no "skinny body") the C7 is wider the the base C6 by 1.3" and has flared fenders like the wide body C6(just not flared as much).
The C7 is longer, wider and lower then the base C6, just as the GS/Z06/ZR1 is longer, wider and lower then the base C6.

I saw my first C7 in CG on the road yesterday. Not totally impressed. It did not give me that have to have it feel that the Z did pulling me out of my less than 2 year old C6 coupe back in 2007. My lowered Black beauty with its' 345/285's and wide stance grabs my attention every time. When I startup the "427" well forget about it. Tired of many posters saying that views like this are coming from people who can't afford to "trade up" to a C7. Get real first time Vette owners. I'm commited,for now ,to my Z and in fact just updated my DD.. Soon we will see the ultimate C7 hopefully by 2015.

A back from the dead thread!
I was on the fence about the C7 but now that I've had a chance to see one in person and sit in it for a while (still haven't driven one) I'm sold. I do think the widebody C6 is still a cleaner, more timeless and beautiful design, but there's something quite compelling about the outrageous, over-the-top hot wheels styling of the C7....and the interior and technology are the new hotness. I'll wait for the Z07, keep my c6 vert, and be happy until the C8.
