c7 showed up
 

Saw and followed my first C7 today locally. I liked the roof line but it looks smaller to me and watching the owner get in there is no way that I would fit so it's a complete moot point. The dealer has one with the Z51 suspension and options which is what they want to sell that is listed at $85,000 plus sales tax.

I'll attach a couple photos. All the sports cars with power are now going to the wind tunnels and coming up with very similar answers save lamborghini who remains different. It looked far better in person than in photos. The roof line from windshield on back with all the vents in the car is just stunningly good lines visually. The rest looks a lot like they put tires on a frame and built the body more or less around the tires which are narrower than what's stock on our Z's.

Too much money for me and if I were going to spend it it would likely not be on a C7 especially since I can't get in it.

I agree that they are better looking in person than in pics but they still don't do it for me. There are 2 Blue ones at work and somebody in town with a black one. The black looks best IMO. But still they all look way to 4x4ish and with skinny tires. Hopefully the Z models will be lower and wider with some meat out back!!

$85K?!

Wow. A Z51 with 3LT and some options should be $75K MSRP.

Friend of mine is a vehicle manager at an auction house and they had their first C7 come through last week, base car with 1300 miles on it. It WHOLESALED for $71k. I love the C7 but I will wait for the frenzy to die down, let someone else eat the massive depreciation.

My first reaction was similar to Lance's. This car looks pretty amazing "in the glass and fibre". The technology is awesome as well. I am looking forward to seeing the Z06 at the Detroit Auto Show. The Z06 will have flared fenders and bigger boots which will deal with a couple of the things I thought were needed to improve the basic Stingray. Wonder what the C7 ZR1 will have for bonuses - other than gobs of extra HP? Exciting times!

Good grief ... there are dealers that are now selling for $1-2K under invoice. You can get a very nicely optioned (Z51, 3LT) stingray brand new for $71K

That lower outer part of the rear end just doesn't do it for me at all. I like the rest of the car ok. Can't wait for the wider version to arrive....with wider rear tires than my Cobalt!!!

Saw one in the wild today, definitely NOT what I would order. Silver with orange wheels and orange trim. There was a guy taking pics and it sure wasn't me.
