Achmed

I was innocently scrolling down on the Z06-supercharged discussion thread and since sam90lx and stingrayc7 posted right after each other, with white corvettes /w black wheels at almost the same angle, I couldn't help but notice (and make thread about) the C6 GS looking kinda dated in comparison. What do you guys think?

Of course a car with the basic design done 10+ years ago is going to look dated compared to a recent design.

IMO, you really need to refrain from stirring the pot like this.

I'd only say one is older and just more familiar than the other. The C7 is very exciting looking, but It'll go the same route. I like the both.. hell, I like em all

I liked the C6 enough to buy two of them in the last 9 years.

The C7 is the next chapter in the Corvette legacy and I'm going to continue going along for the ride.

What I think? Okay, you asked!

I had a C1 (1961)-loved it. I now have a C2 (1966) a C3 (1975) and a C5 (2003 AE). I skipped C4 and C6. I am definitely getting a C7. The C7 makes anything C5 and newer seem dated, and obsolete looking. My opinion fellas!

Copyright infringement! Both great looking cars till you get to the rear of the Corvmaro.
My wheels are Comp Grey by the way.

Dated Cindy is to the dated and obsolete looking C5 and C6

as this little morsel is to the fresh and new C7


I prefer the undated.

Fan boi? My cars on the way. VIN#52. Im more like a buyer than just a fan of the most advanced Corvette to date!

I have always thoguht GS were kinda for grandpa's I dont see the advantage over a base really. Well my 2008 had 453 HP dyno'd rear wheels. Have a nice day with the dated ride..

No need to call names Sam.

Both look good. C7 looks fresher though.
I wouldn't turn down a C2 or C3 either.

Great things about cars is that they don't get old (ala Cindy) they still look as young as they did when they debuted. You can't say that about old supermodels....for instance....

See if mom can help you with spelling....thoguht

Two different beauties. A 427/435 mid year looks "dated" next to a C7. An XKE looks "dated" next to a C7. A 550 Spyder, a 2002tii, a 250GTO, and a DB4 all look "dated" next to the C7.

Dated isn't a bad thing. Elegance is a reference point by which we judge design, and elegance is most commonly found in the romanticized manifestations of the greatest things that came before.

The C6 was, and still is as striking and handsome a car as it was in 2005. The C7 may or may not age gracefully. We've established that the C6 almost certainly will gain esteem. Chevy hit the mark with it.

And I'm a huge C7 fan. Love the car. Nothing bad to say about it.

It depends on what you like. I have a friend who is 38 and loves antique furniture. His house is full of it. To each their own.

Those who profess love for the C7 but unbridled disdain for the C6 are as obnoxious as those who profess love for the C6 but unbridled disdain for the C7. But, they do deserve each other /

I happen to like SAMs car. I think he has done some nice things. He is going to poop when I get my 7 and put polished rims on it but hey it is a free world.

Steven Tyler is not even a car guy! He has nothing to add to this. Nor does Janice Dickinson. The comp is Cindy. You gotta dig up an ugly pic of her.
