How would you compare seeing it in person versus pictures?

Thanks for taking the time to post - very nice shots! The car is looking better and better. Now all we need is a C7 Z06!

Well like i mentioned in the picture thread, the flags are way to blingy for my liking.

Other than that, it looks good. I really want to see if they come out with a wide body version.

Blingy is an understatement ! Sadly I will bet there are guide holes drilled in the body. The chrome Corvette on the rear has to go along with the Stingray emblems too. Can't wait to sit in it at the Bash in April.

I stopped by the media preview today also. Like many I was not sure if I really liked the rear view and lights. PICTURES DO NOT DO THIS CAR JUSTICE. The C7 looks great in person! I love the style, rear vents, lights and all! GM did a great job.

I'll take the Vanquish.
Oh, and the MP4-12c HS edition as well.
And the girl with the tool belt.

Nice job on those pics!
I do agree with what the posters over in the Great lakes section said,
comparing the two front end pics of the Viper and the Vette.......Viper looks dated, even before it has hit the streets.....

Hot...



Luke warm at best...

If enough people feel this way, perhaps Corvette should offer what Porsche does, "Deletion of Model Designation", a $0 Porsche option.

I would personally prefer if they offered the emblem in different finishes, chrome/black/ silver etc.

The C7 Looks a lot better than the Viper on the front end.
