I prefer the looks of the base model but that wing is wonderful

Definitely not quite what we all thought it was gonna look like... Was expecting much more of the C8R which is what I was hoping for.. Not too sure how to feel about this..

It’s so…rounded? It looks like a Grand Touring car to me now, and kind of bloated. I’m still waiting for the Z07 reveal, and to see what’s going on with the rear fascia and exhaust placement.

Sorry I don't buy it. It just looks like a modified Stingray. The spoiler is not correct for a Z06 even a base one.

If true, more of the "angles for the sake of having angles" design.

Gotta take this one in for a bit.. I don't hate it, but was wishing for a bit more. Still looking forward to the full reveal with all the specs.

Not really the vibe I think of for a Z06. Thought it would be more aggressive looking. I do like the spoiler. Maybe that will fit on my C8? lol

This is...terrible. What did they do!? Come on GM, all you had to do was give us the C8R body and be done.

I like it! Definitely more luxurious looking than raw racecar that I was expecting. Keeping my deposit in (at least till I see the msrp)

Why would GM suddenly post a picture of the Z06 when they are having a big unveiling? "If" they did it only means the actual production car is much different from this one.

Oof. Looks exactly the same as the Stingray. We'll see how much the new aero pieces & tall spoiler change the aggressiveness but for now...I'm pretty content with my Stingray.

just search “ Corvette”. It is the first page that shows up in the search.
it’s definitely official. I’m not sure but it looks like it’s missing some fender vents. We will see shortly.
