Default Should C7 HP / Z06 model have more aggressive exterior ?

If your a C7 owner or future owner would you like to see the High Perf. model (Z car) have a more aggressive exterior on the car to set it apart from the regular C7 ?

We know it will have performance upgrades. But would you also like to see some noticeable exterior enhancements?

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 am not ashamed of owning a base vehicle (If Z51 is base). It's my daily driver and a very good one at that. I think it should get similar treatment as the previous performance models. I want the guys who buy them to get their money's worth. A hi-po car was not in my budget and if it was, I wouldn't daily drive it. I think the base C7 stands out way more already than the base C6 ever did. The car is just a radical design. We will all be getting attention regardless .

They should be different enough so Grandma can recognize the differences at a glance.

I think the C7 has an aggressive radical look to it already also. But some owners that opt for the step up in performance may also want a little extra on the outside also... Maybe to just set it apart a little bit from the crowd or make it stand out a little more... Or maybe they'll be just as happy with 3 little letters/numbers on the fender

And like you I also hope the guys that buy them get their money's worth.

Its always fun when there's something new coming down the road.

A good bit of people actually. Some people say they don't like cars that look "to busy" as they call it ....

Personally I like cars that have a mean look to'em.

To align with the increased performance, I'd like to see an overall more aggressive looking body/stance (lower; wider body; wider tires; intakes/hood; etc) for the Z06.

We know it will be wider and more aggressive....icing on the cake would be round tail lights so when you walk some fool, he knows it was a Vette.

So I guess there are at least 2 of us who don't care for the back end on the C7.

I'm slowing warming to it. The Z06 should be so bitchen I will most likely forgive the rear.

If they don't change the back end look on the Z then lets hope that's the case.

On past generations if there was some part of the exterior that I didn't initially care for it didn't take long for it to grow on me & I ended up liking 100% of the design. This isn't the case with the C7. I'm really trying to convince myself to like it but I shouldn't have to work at it, it should just happen.

What is the saying - I can't describe it but I'll know it when I see it (or something like that).
