Those of you whom are naysayers, don't worry this Corvette is not built for you...it's built for numbers and those that respect them.

My big take away, other than it should have been 5 cars worth waiting for instead of 25, was that the ZR1 and mid engine vette are two separate cars. Although I'm sticking with my new GS for a while, a Cayman with a small block in the middle does sound like a recipe for fun.

Which wing looks sillier?...the Road Runner wing, or the ZR1 wing, or a WRX wing????

Wings
should be about function over form.

disagree--dislike the wing and that nose/grill looks like 90% of new cars today

Too many stickers, huge hideous wing, dangerous in the rain.... The ride is probably waaaaaaay to stiff.
Needs more creature comforts.

It seems that GM is in a race with itself to make the C7 uglier each MY with these tacky add ons. My '12 ZR 1 is looking better everyday.

Are we looking for looks or functionality? I think we all want both but, let's say you have to choose, which one would you pick?

I'm glad they finally put a real spoiler on the car instead of that Mickey Mouse rig they currently provide. Look good!
