I never liked American styling but boy, this one is right on the mark. It's modern , super-car styling, the interior is very up-scale now and a great engine. Possibly no bad seals or Pentosin sloshing around, an engine that is going to last and can be cost effectively replaced. GM raised the bar with this one. And the price is fingerlickin' good! I will have a test drive for sure.

Ford Die Hard here;

Love it.

Doesn't look like the angry insect on steroids look so common on today's supercars. Can't wait to see the ZR1.

They have lots of options with the ZR1. They could supercharge or turbocharge the 6.2L LT1 or go back to the 5.5L V8 they were developing originally and use forced induction on that. Either way, 650 HP+ should be attainable and make it a Ferrari F12 competitor, by means of performance and looks.

Related: I hope the C7 Z06 gets a 7L naturally aspirated V8, and if GM really wanted to go crazy, bring back the L88 name with a supercharged version of the 7L engine.

I count 12 different angles of body work on the hood and front end alone. The taillights are over stylized and won't age well, and the 4 pipes all scrunched together look like a Transformer toy to me. It just seems overdone and tacky. Really a far cry from the smooth simple lines of the C6. I'll be passing on this one.

I agree. To me the front end looks like a new Viper, the interior isn't too far off either, and I'm tired of the angled lines for the DRLs. I hope it looks better in person, but to me the rear is horrible.

STUNNING really... the rear end is nice... I don't think it's overstyled or anything, lights look modern. Saw the photoshops with the round lights... look olds/bland... this car is modern
