Inches DO make a difference !

I was at the Mystic lake corvette show today and they had the new Z06 with the full Z07 package and OMG.....This makes the "regular" C7 look like crap to me. This car just looks refined and what the new corvette should have looked like from the get go.

I sure feel sorry for the poor souls who bought a "regular" C7.

Now for a white one to show up for me to see.....

Awesome.

Exactly like the C6 run. Come out with a narrow body first and then wow them with the wide body. No doubt a Grand Sport is next.

Looks like they just made the Stingray obsolete.....

When at the Daytona 24hr the 1st of the year they had a Z06 and not too far away a "regular" C7. The difference was amazing. We came to the same conclusion that I'm reading here.
Boy, am I glad I waited.

That fender gap though

1st thing I'm doing is getting some 20x13's out back and lowering it.

Wish they had more color options. That color sucks.

Really want the 02 Z06 Blue back.

Damn...we were there for a few hours coming and going. You need to trade in the C7 for this now

Wife gave me the thumbs up for a new Z! Going to wait until Spring of 2016 and let the hype slow down (if it does at all). Meanwhile, still enjoying the Stingray:

Nice design GM.
