Thanks, very neat pictures. I've officially gotten over my "wtf, Camaro rear end, blah, blah" phase.

Great photos, thanks! This car looks so cool and racy, I never get tired of more pictures. I can't wait to see it for real. I think the back looks really menacing in the first picture, just like Keeks said long ago. It works for me!

Nice pics.
Thanks for posting.

As always, I think the black looks best.
Unless the LT1 produces LS7 numbers with a significant improvement in gas mileage, at a C6 Z51 price tag, I think a C6 is still the obvious choice.

That is the cyber gray car, but it does look great.

Car looks killer. Only thing I still don't like is the plastic engine cover thing. Last time I said something about them, I took a lot of heat from some who said the cover looks good to them. They still look like crap to me and would be the first thing to go. C7 though is one awesome looking car though from nearly every angle.

In non technical terms it is the anti-lock brake module.

thanks for the pics. as I expected, it's always better to see the car outdoors in "natural" light, taken by real people. I'll say this much: the tail looks completely different to me in this photo than just about any I can recall seeing so far.

Good call.
I think black is the best, and the cyber gray is a close second.

Do you have high res images of the last two? I smell desktop background potential from either one.

Thanks for the pic!

How did you like the color of the interior? Was it a good match to you with the cyber grey?
