So I guess you were just a clueless waxer wanna be back then huh???

You just learned Noob........
Oh I just learned? What did I learn? I'm pretty certain I did not question the effectiveness of your "racing body kit." I simply pointed out that your terminology is laughable.

Also, after I sold my second 350Z and moved along, I helped build that car into a 714 RWHP beast. What did you have? Some bolt on Greddy TT setup? I figured since we are making assumptions here, I'd join in on it.

Go back to bed and keep dreaming about your C7Z.

EDIT: I guess I did use the term "ricer" because well.. It looks very ricer... Still did not question the effectiveness. BTW.. That 714 RWHP 350Z got along just fine without heat soak with the stock bumper and nismo front lip.

Ricer on, buddy.

Now if you are saying it didn't heat soak because your clueless *** was waxing the hell out of it while it sat in the driveway with the engine off..... yeah.....you are right.....

Is that what you meant turtle waxer??

I am in the process of growing some brain cells for you in a petri dish.....

It's apparent your brain.......what little you have....... is heat soaked.

Maybe you can wear that stock bumper with the Nismo lip as a cap to prevent your brain damage from getting worse.

Can't wait to see the C7Z. Carry on.

First, my '13 427 is for sale. That said, IMO, I actually like the looks of the C6Z more as time passes. It's curvy and classic. I honestly don't care for all the boy-racer carbon fiber exposed on the C7Z - seems like a design to appeal to drooling 20-somethings but at an $90K+ price tag. Not a recipe for long-term C7Z sales success.

I honestly think the regular C7 will sell well, but the C7Z will not do well over time (after the first year hype) - too many other classy options out there for the $90K+ crowd.

I like them both however I don't know if the C7 design will hold up as well as the C6 did. Only time will tell. I am not knocking the C7 but in some ways it looks over designed.

I agree with this. If I were to get another Corvette, I think I'd lean towards the C7 instead of the C7 ZO6. There just seems to be too much going on with the ZO6 design.

A neighbor of mine has a green C7 that I see going to work everyday and it is starting to grow on me.

to my eye, the C6 Z06 when seen next to the C7 Z51 compliment each other in the sense that they look even better as a pair together than either single one alone. with the C7 Z06, i'll have to wait to see one in-person.

C1 and C2 have held up extremely well over time, and IMO C6 into the next 15-20 years C6 will continue to have classic appeal. C3, C4, and C5 just don't do it for me to the same degree. not knockin' 'em...just not my cup of tea.

The C5 Z06 body style is still claimed by many including Wendell Strode to be one of the best body styles and most popular body styles ever created by Corvette... The C6 wont have any classic appeal to anyone but you buddy... Only C6 worth talking about is the C6Z and ZR1 the coupes are nothing more special then a Base coupe C5 which are a dime a dozen....

I'm sure I'll have one. But I can guarantee you one thing, all that angular Nissan GTR design philosophy is going to get old fast...

well time will tell. if you checked in once a month or so over the course of Jan '13 to Feb '14 on how the leftover C6 were selling...even after the C7 became available, even during January and February of 2014, they seemed to continue to sell at pretty much the same rate they did a year ago when they had similar discounts. for example, the larger dealers who advertise on the forum didn't seem to have any problem clearing every single one of them out of inventory, so somebody sure likes them.

The Z06 is hands down faster better looking vehicle than the C5 ,many will agree.

C6Z's better not look dated - I just spent a fortune building a 1000 RWHP Z06 with a YSI blower - LOL. I could have bought almost half a C7Z for what I just spent on this build.

the only corvette that i think looks dated is the C4


I just saw a yellow C5Z this morning and thought that was a pretty sharp looking car.

Then I saw a C6 GS later in the day and thought the same.

They are Corvettes - if you think the C6 looks dated then you are too concerned with the image you are trying to put out then what the performance you are actually driving
