Default C7 or ZR-1?

Parked my car with a few C7s today to contrast and compare. What do you think? I think our car holds up pretty well.

I've barely driven my ZR-1 so far and I already love it. The C4 has a very clean uncluttered style that is exactly the opposite of the 80's where it was born, and the ZR-1 is the pinnacle of the series. One of my all time favorites. But I love the C7, especially in yellow. It's the polar opposite of the C4 style, totally ridiculous over the top design with every styling cliche there is. And yet it works, a total beast, love it. Can I have both?

In addition to Red and Black they had a Silver, White and a Yellow one that was being loaded on to a transporter. The Yellow car did look terrific. I have noting against the C7. I just think our ZR-1s remain awesome.

I saw a C7 on the highway last week and had to get a closer look. Man, that thing looks weird, especially from the rear.

i don't like the c7, but it would be nice knowing I wouldn't have to dip into my bank account if something went wrong

I almost bought a Yellow C6 last Spring. $22k starting asking @ the dealer. . I asked what was wrong; salesman said nothing. I started to get up, to go to the bank, and said "auto, or stick"?

I'm glad it was a stick (can't do a stick with my own 2 busted sticks (head-on with a drinker 7 yrs ago) ) ; otherwise it would be in the driveway now.

And I'd be going ALOT deeper on resto of the Z too, than just intake plumbing!!!

I'll still go for Yellow C6, but everybody said Yellow is girlie.
