Sort of ugly, but I really dig those wheels. I bet it goes like stink.

I’m the opposite. Love the body styling (yes, even that huge wing) and orange is the new black but star shaped wheels? Bring back the C6 ZR1 style!

I think the c7 looks best in crazy overstyled variants so I like it. The base c7 looks like they chopped up a c6 but this looks purpose built to be insane. It’ll probably be BRUTALLY fast since the camaros are heavy beasts but still dominate things like lightning lap times.

LOL - that’s awesome. I think it’s just that front fascia that I don’t like - doesn’t seem to fit with the Vette’s character (to me). I dig those wheels because they remind me of a Ferrari, which this thing can probably slay all of them except the LaFerrari.

It’s like a Focus RS and a 370Z from a Fast and Furious movie banged in a closet and this is the bastard offspring that came of it....

I wonder if they’ve gone for a fixed roof on this one. I was surprised the Z06 kept the targa roof, I’d be doubly surprised if this does as well.

So did they address the cooling issues the LT4 faced in the Z06 before putting a larger supercharger on it for the ZR1?

I think there were “spy pics” of it as a convertible. Because some people just want to reach heaven in the sky that much faster.

Yeah, it’s very track focused. I’m just glad they didn’t go to the same extent as the Ford GT with giant holes in the body.

It’s targa. There is another pic, but I have low service.

Yeah, the original supercharger for the LT4 was too small, and the engine overstressed it. This was already fixed on the CTS-V and Camaro ZL-1.

I kinda miss the days when I was soooo excited for the new issue of car and driver because that is how we found out about all of the new cars. With the internet there are a lot of cars that I’m “over” before they’re even available.

I mean half the front of the car is vents. I hope they did.

Ok so I find this to be more than slightly hideous but I’m excited for the fact that it will likely be time-bendingly fast around a track.

I’m interested to see how this performs on track. With the levels of performance a Camaro gets now, the Corvette has seemed honestly disappointing. I understand ultimate limits are being approached, and it’s difficult to have a competitive Camaro while still differentiating from the Corvette, but economically it’s making less and less sense. Add to thatthe outright speed the AMG puts out with the same layout, you come to expect a hell of a lot from this new Vette.

Bummer, though my opinion matters little given my financial means, or relative lack thereof.

On the flip side, now that you are older, you can go on more test drives and experience them in person.
