Real car on left, Photoshop on the right

On this image I got rid of the front wings on the splitter, the clack plastic hood scoop and the vents in the rear quaters.





I got rid of the Camaro lights and put some round lights on here. Again, very badly photoshopped, but you can see it immediately feels more like a Vette. I also got rid of the shiny exhausts.



I'd love to see someone else's thoughts on what would make it look much better.

Those exterior changes you made simply make it look more like a C6, which is what GM was trying to avoid.

I think it looks great as they designed it.
Form and function combined.
Nice job, GM.

Not feeling the rear...its looks fussy as if the designers poured all their energy into the front and were just fresh out of ideas for the rear, so rather than make the back end flow they slapped on a camaro rear end, high fived each other, and called it day. GM design

First Corvette the wife has ever liked. She REALLY likes it.

All of that performance with a mid-50's estimate? We'll see what the 3LT package runs...

I'm a huge Vette fan and I really love the C7 overall. As for the exterior styling, It's only the rear that looks a little funky to me. I would like to see it in all black though! It would hide all the "ricey" black plastic elements, as have been mentioned before.

Nice job, GM.
I agree. The new design is a nice leap to keep it modern feeling for the next several years. The circular lights in the chop don't seem to flow as well with the angular design of the rest of the car.

I've already grown accustomed to the rear profile. I wouldn't mind seeing some deeper rear diffuser channels, but I'm sure there will be nice aftermarket solutions.

The wife has already OKed this car and the new NSX, so one of those will be my next car (most likely the Corvette since I expect the NSX to be north of $150k).

I feel like you and I share the same brain.

... And our wives do, too.

This is her favorite 'Vette.

Yea I'm loving this car... I'm gonna wait for the Z06 but amazing for the z51.. Dry sump, 7speed (low gearing and then hwy gear for mpg), new race seats are awesome, rev match shifting, ability to turn off stability, configurable gauge cluster... I love everything about the looks (I like the tailights and vent)... Only thing is I wish the hood vent was body colored.. Easy fix

you can see it, go to this link. click on specs on lower right, then you can choose color, wheel color, and angle to view the C7.

Black or Silver is going to be what I am ordering.

Definitely blk/blk for me. Silver or white would be my second. Depending on how high gloss the black components would come off in person; it would completely change the look of the car, but I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be customizing it left and right to their taste.

+1. The round taillights look too much like GTR rear end. I think it's good as is.
