Look-wise only, what letter grade A-F would you give the ZR1 compared to the GS, Z06?

Well it depends on the wing:
Large Wing - C
Small Wing - B
But I also give the following:
Z06 w/Z07 - C
Z06 - B
Grand Sport w/Z07 - C
Grand Sport - B
Z51 - A+
Stingray - A
Large Wing - C
Small Wing - B
But I also give the following:
Z06 w/Z07 - C
Z06 - B
Grand Sport w/Z07 - C
Grand Sport - B
Z51 - A+
Stingray - A

I give it an A all around.
Before seeing real pictures from the unveiling, I wasn't sure about the wheels and big wing.
But now I like the wheels and big wing.
I think they go good with the overall Track oriented look of the car itself.
But, have to say I wouldn't want the big wing for the street

I got to see it in person. I remember when they first announced the C7 I thought it looked "toy-ish", but after seeing it in person I was in love.

Vette owners will certainly be able to distinguish it from all other vettes.
That front facia and hood insures no case of mistaken identity.
i wonder if Callaway will try to punch it up to 900 hp.

except I give the spoiler an F.Saw one in person just outside the Milford Proving grounds in September. Like it except for the wing. The wing looked cheap and something some high school kid would fabricate in Auto shop to put on his 4 door Kia. Might be very functional, but simply ugly and looks home made.

I don't like the tiny "mouth" in front. The wee little center grille looks odd compared to the huge side openings. Not big on the wheels either. To be honest I think the Z06/GS is a better looking car.

Overall B+ or A- it looks bad *** and the wing and wheels are more subjective to individual taste which is why it doesn’t get so perfect score or grade of A.
When you look all the used 2017 and 2018s for sale it tells you that ALOT of people want the ZR1 and don’t care about losing money on their current cars. People are giving 2016/2017 C7 Z06s away for 62-70k wow!
People will always find something to criticize about especially when they are current Z06 owners getting pushed back from 1st class to coach and not the king of the block anymore.

I can actually understand that. I don't like splitters and side skirts. But if I buy one of these apparently I'm stuck with those items. Not tracking it so no need for them. I suppose I should get something to protect against the rock chips on the side by those rear vents.

I was tired of all the camo photos and lost interest in the ZR1. But when I saw the first pics, especially that Watkins Glen Gray car, WOW, just WOW. Grade: A++
