That is a beautiful car. But you sure don't have much ground clearance.

Is that an illusion in the photo or are the air dams right on the road?

Illusion I think. It seems to be able to handle speed bumps like the C6 does (and the C5 didnt).

Yeh, the C7 looks great in the flesh. Remember seeing a you tube video, think it was Jay Lenos Garage, where a GM designer said they took the C7 back to the gym, it is a pretty good description. You can tell it is C6-ish, but it just seem to look tougher and more muscular from every angle.

The strange thing is, I think it look more American for looking tougher, my wife thinks it looks more European for looking tougher. Works for both of us I guess. The Corvette designers should take a bow for making a car so appealing.
