I consider myself to be an open-minded person - I will wait to see it in person and see how it looks

From the initial pics, it looks over-stylized to me. Too many air inlets/outlets, too many body creases, Camaro tail lights etc. On the plus side, the interior seems to be a big improvement and technically there is some nice stuff - lighter, more powerful etc.

I look forward to seeing one in person.

To be honest I'm still really unsure on it. I have to admit the technology in this car is amazing, but I'm on the fence with the styling of the car. I wasn't a fan of the C6 when it came out, but it grew on me. I will reserve my judgement until I see it in person.

When the C4 came out, I thought: Wowie!

When the C5 came out, I thought: WooHoo!

When the C6 came out, I thought: Stunning!

When the C7 came out, I thought: WTF is this? A ricermobile?

I reserve judgement until I actually see it, however.

The digital dash if thats what it is, is a step back in time and not to my liking. I agree there is too much going on with the inlets, scoops and creases. I really want to see the car up close. First year production car bound to have teething problems. I see my current ride in the stable for a long time.

I love it...would if I could. If business picks up I will be picking up a nice blue one. Can't wait to see what they do as far as upgrading it to Z06 or ZR1 standards.

I'd say the Camaro got C4 tail lights. The C7 is octaconal in design and which is closer to the C5 oval tail lights.

[QUOTE=jumper5836;1582825299]http://www.chevrolet.com/one13thirteen.html

Active Rev Matching ensures the perfect shifts whether you’re up-shifting or down-shifting.
Z51 package that offers an electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD), dry sump oil system, differential and transmission cooling as well as a unique aero package for high speed stability.
Now customers will have two new seating options – Touring and Competition – that were benchmarked against the best of the best: Porsche and Recaro.

It looks amazing as well! inside and out!




The car has truly grown on me.......can hardly wait to see it.
& I can attest to the fact that active rev matching is outstanding and fun......like the new carrera trannys, as my new ride has, and maybe the one in your avatar.
