Default Gorgeous ZR1 C7 Corvette Stingray preview images imagined

Haven't seen this posted. Looks awesome!

Hope it really gets 700+hp as rumored.

This actually looks hideous, the front splitter kinda under the fangs, side skirts only partially wider than the rocker panel? What purpose would the fangs AND splitter serve at the same time? And is the roof still removable?

Even subtle aero parts can have a huge effect on aerodynamics and downforce.

Agreed but whoever created that image, does not understand much about aerodynamics at all. Grafting C6 ZR1 front splitter on C7 does not work, never mind the looks.

Not impressed. Who ever did the rendering, so=imply took the C6 front splitter and side skirts and pasted them on the C7 and added the split side vent to look like the C6.

As for the extra venting in the front, not sure why add more drag. If they are for the front brakes, that is already taking care of with the vents inside the main front grill. Also the small side vents just behind the door. What some one has done is C6/7.

Oh I bet I am going to be asked where do I have the authority ti tell someone how to design a car.

It would look better if it wasn't that hideous Gulden's mustard yellow

I like it, but am hoping for a wide body ZR1

If you had actually paid attention to Jalopnik's reveal they stated it was the C7 in ZR1 trim. So I'm not sure what asinine comment you're trying to make here...
