So a pile of tubes with C7 shaped windows and subtle hints qualifies as "C7 bodied"? I think this belongs in the "other cars/junk" forum.

Um, yeah I watched it. Spectacular crash - but has nothing to do with Corvettes or C7.

Good looking race car. Like seeing all the Pro Mod's running C7 bodies, they are slick as all get out. So what if this isn't a race forum, the race C7's rock.. You guys need to settle down. Remember the C7R's are race cars too.. Wish someone had a C7 Blown Fuel Hydro Boat..

This is what happens when the folks who run a corporate owned forum, aren't real Corvette enthusiasts...just stooges behind a desk punching keys.

The days of enthusiast OWNED AND OPERATED forums...oh how I miss those days.

You have the option of not clicking on certain threads. I enjoy seeing this as do others. If there were a thousand of these posts it would be annoying, but I don't see a handful of posts like these per year as abusing of the intent of the forum. Just like when a C5 guy chimes in on a C7 forum, it's all good.
