C7 rear
does anyone else think the rear of the c7 will look more like a c6 with the bpp diffuser (the one sold for stock c6 exhausts) than what the renderings have made it out to be?
The rear spoiler looks very close to that of the c6 and the taillights are apparently going to be round... I wonder if the bumper is going to be a flat as it was in the pictures It seems that the car the jalopnick people were shown was intentionally let out as a way to disseminate bad information... |

I see it differently. Have you seen the keeksCAD ? That is the back of the C7. |

:ack:I would be surprised if the finished car looked like that...
I believe GM took cues from this "look". |

el es tu , Take a peek at the rear fascia of the Ferrari 458 and look at the black around the tailights , the positioning of the exhaust and the surrounding lower bodywork.

Better get used to it. Keeks even said the C&D version was "it". Everything points to it being like that from Jalopnik to Omega to Keeks to C&D. The only question in my mind are the fine details.

I think some of the renderings we've seen - Trinity, CD, Jalopnik are missing it on the back.
They have the back glass as almost a square sheet. I think it'll taper at the decklid opening and line up visually with the quadrangle on the license plate surround and the exhaust area below that. Also everybody shows some sort of housing around the tailights. Maybe, but it could be body color. I tweaked one of Trinity's frames - I'm a little rusty on my quick and dirty Photoshop skills - http://www.holmesontherange.com/buck...Trinity-C7.jpg |
I think you nailed it!!! Pretty much matches every thing we have seen and general outline on camo cars.

I mean, why bother making them that shape unless you are highlighting them? Give it a few months and guys will be painting them body color and buying faux carbon fiber versions of them, just like the GS logo. The vertical 'lights' at each side of the back end of this image are actually vents. The spy shots and Keeks CADs confirm that. |
I think the rendering is missing the double ridge on the front fenders, it runs aft of the headlights. There is evidence of this in one of the engine bay photos.

The rear lights (the shape they appeared to be as the lights shined through) on the latest video as the car was driving away from the camera, do not look like the photo keeks provided. And I still believe keeks was leaked that CAD drawing for a reason...yeah I said it. I find it a little hard to believe a leak of that magnitude just happens... Having said all this, and I am not a big fan of these videos GM is providing us, but this latest video has perked my attention; specifically the part where the engineer is discussing the steering and overall driving feel. One negative about the C5 and C6 IMO is that they are very difficult to drive fast. At speed, they don't make me feel confident. The car itself is very capable but I feel you need to be almost a professional driver in order to feel confident that you are not going to kill yourself in a vette. If the C7 engineers have figured out a way to give me Porsche GT3 steering feel coupled with the always impressive corvette HP numbers, the C7 will be a huge hit and I will be waiting in line with some of you no matter the taillight treatment. |

looking on any car out there). Maybe a nice used z07 or zr1 will be in a better price range in 2 years... :cheers: |

aftermarket suspension components (poly bushings or all metal bearings) and better tires go a long way for that. I dont understand why american car companies tend to make their cars feel so disconected... I remember driving an fbody for the first time and wondering what was messed up to make the car feel that way...

I think we may find that is just an anomaly of the CAD image. I would find it hard to imagine that kind of fender line.
http://strumors.automobilemag.com/fi...1-1024x640.jpg Suggesting this from the StingRay Concept. http://risingcar.com/wp-content/uplo...op-852x861.jpg But I agree that is a long shot and the C7 could be camouflaged to look that way on purpose.:flag: But then again that look does pop up in other Cads and Camos.:flag: |

Me too. I still find it hard to believe that the lights on Keeks CAD drawing are accurate. I am sure GM made hundreds of CAD drawing with multiple rear end treatments, the one keeks provided may be one of them but who's to say it is THE one.
