Compared to the C7 GS,ZO6 I would give the C7 ZR1 a solidC in the looks department compared to the C7 GS and Z06.

No takers are you afraid if you give it a C or below GM wont sell you one?

With those wide front fenders I would give it an A compared to the Z06. Plus the huge wing looks really bad ***.

Fcal

Lose the wing.Makes it look like a cheap *** ricer.
Like the front end.

I believe that OP is obsessed with the new ZR1 and will own one in a few years...

With that said, I would like the wingless version. I dig the wider front fenders. Not crazy about the wheels. I actually like the GS cup wheels the best of any stock C7 wheel offered, so I'd probably put a set of those on it and call it good...

Yea the wheels suck. They might of been popular in 2000 but not in 2017/2018.

Always Red Dave

I took a oath that my current 2017 Z06 would be my last out of the 12 I have owned in the past. It is however nice to talk about and compare the fastest factory stock Corvette ever produced!

23/C8Z

I'm stuck on what could've been...

I hate the boxed corners on the nose. Hate hate hate them. Looks so forced.


Was hoping for this
goes along much better with the C7 design imo

The yellow rendering looks like an evolution.

The orange actual doesn't



like a Z06 with braces lol

the rest of the car is what it is. I loved the yellow rendering to the point i was justifying an actual THOUGHT of purchasing lol



vs this?

Tally Ho

Aero is aero. But, the whole thing looks like a bad body kit.

dvilin

Nailed it my thoughts exactly.

I'm with you.

For reference, I think Chev/GM really nailed the styling with the C7, in any configuration. Our first C7 purchase was a '15 Z51, and 2nd is a GS.

IMO, I won't really be able to give a lasting opinion until I see one in person. Just like some of the paint colors - you often find your opinion changes when you see them in person.

That said, there are some things I really like about it. I like the wider front fenders without the spats. I think the front end is going to look awesome in person - I mostly like what I see in pics. If I was going to be a track rat, the aero package with the big wing would serve the purpose - if not, no way would I get the big wing package (unless it's much better in person than in the pics).

I think the ZR is a great addition to the line up for those who want it. My hat's off to C7 engineers who continue to push for more performance and great looks at 'reasonable' pricing - especially compared with competitors.

Is the new combination going to 'make' me get one? I don't know until I see it. I wasn't going to get a GS either, but did so at the wifey's suggestion. When the C&D mag with the ZR on the cover came, I was out of town and she called and told me about it and asked if I was going to want one. She'd give the green light in a second, but right now I don't think so.

My long-winded .02, without seeing it in person, is a solid B+.

Jmcdude

Good breakdown The only one I'd change is the wheels. C+ for me.

Scoobydoobydoo

Agree with everything except the hood. Make that a B and you're there

chefcg1

Agree with your assessment, hate the wheels!

pickleseimer

Solid A compared to the Z06/GS. Best looking C7 yet, by far. I prefer it to be wingless, otherwise a home-run. That being said, I'm waiting to see what the ME offering is.

97Black

I’ll give it a B

ssidekickbp

I give it an A.

With the ZR1, they got everything right that was wrong with the Z06 to begin with.

spireland

Looks badass. More important is that it is badass, is the performance sounds like it'll back it up.
