I hope so, a meaner front ( to look like the C7.R) and meaner/wider back ...exhaust on the side wouldn't heart either.
just my 2 cents...if you want me to sell my 800+ c6Zo6 and buy a c7zo6...

It's only natural that it looks more aggressive but it really comes from more exaggerated proportions.

I certainly want it to be more imposing but they don't need to go crazy with the design. It's just going to be a more exaggerated version. Of course, there will be some extra aero bits but the design will be the same overall. It already looks great.

is this even a question? who the hell wouldn't want a more aggressive hi-po model to differentiate it from the rest. Base c6 or c6z06, base c5 or c5z06, 3 series or M3, sl550 or sl63AMG hmmm... what looks better? This is kind of a dumb question sorry to say.

Just the fact it won't have the chrome strip on the front grill is a good start already.

I can't wait until the Z is finally introduced cause all the stupid topics like this one will disappear

Oh yea.... Aside from the motor, people just want to pay 30k more for a car that has a badge that makes it different from the base

I'll have to say the Stingray looks so good that I can't image what Chevy has in story to improve on it. Though am I sure they will. Can. Not. Wait.

I vote for less aggressive. I want the Z06 to have 255's all around on 18" wheels and three fists of wheel well gap. Gotta have those intake/vent free, narrow body fenders too or I'm not buying.

Where's the option to vote for that?

I'm one that likes the looks of the vert over the coupe, due to the preference of the side view of the rear.
So for me I'd like to see the fixed roof coupe come back.
I think it fits this car a lot more than it would have for the C6Z.

I do hope it is obviously different than the base model......just PLEASE no stupid clear window in the hood!!!

Maybe some changes to a few body panels. Something special and different so it has its own "look". Possibly a "meaner look" to give the car its own identity. So its instantly recognized as the "Big Brother" ?

When you see one coming down the road and "wave", there would be no mistake which C7 it is.


Or would you simply be happy with a little badge
I vote for a more aggressive look as well as keeping the look unique to the Z car unlike the treatment the C6Z received with the advent of the GS.

wider stance, wider tires, better aero (more downforce by using a splitter, more hood venting, and bigger rear spoiler). It is the track performance version of the C7 afterall.

The only issue with the C7 rear, is the GIGANTIC Black plastic lower half of the bumper. I saw one painted, the color of the car, with just the 'exhaust' portion black, and it looked sharp.

I plan to paint mine.

I thought the difference in the $30k was the carbon fiber body parts, shocks, control arms,sway bars, Cf splitter, rails, spoiler, 20" tires and wheels vs 18", dual mode exhaust. Want more?

Oh, and then there's the motor....
