Beautifull!! I'm still trying to get used to the hash marks on the GS. Great color combo.

Looks like another C7 to me. Just my opinion. Really doesn't set itself apart from what we have already seen from Bowling Green. Only a Corvette fan could see it differently then other C7's. The average person on the street couldn't tell the difference between a black C7 and a black GS.

Who cares about the average person. The only person that counts is what the owner thinks. That's my opinion.
My GS TPW 8/8 .

Absolute bad@@@ man! Congrats!

That Black/Red/Red combo was my number two pick behind Torch Red/Black/Black. I just couldn't do another black car though. My last two cars were black!

Thats a beauty...really good article in R&T on the GS...very complimentary.only 1 sec off the ZR-1 on the GM track....thats *****. Those in the know ........know and this car is more about the orchestra involved with the Z06 bits and pieces. So while I am sure some see just another C7....looks can be very deceiving. It is more about just going fast...tis the "art" of speed in the squiggles of pavement that tease you to go faster. Save your $$ and buy a SC for your C7/z51..?? That statement misses the whole point of this car.....imo

True I agree. Your money your choice . Just know its not as must have as some people are saying. If they add some Horsepower then it may be worth the extra money, in my opinion,

Great looking car.

IMO, the wide body was the finishing touch on the C7.

[QUOTE=2cnd Chance;1592791798]What does that make you???[/QUOTE

A Corvette fan, I have owned every generation except C4, who knows that the new GS is not much different than any other C7. I would think people would wait for more power rather then just trim and tape. In my opinion there will be more power, and a ten speed, in 2018.
