I like that color. And those wheels are MUCH better than the ones on the yellow car.

Why does one advertise a shock package on their license plate?

We don't need no stinking badges. Wonder if he has a 495 HP badge on the car somewhere.

Go in the C7 or C8 forum over there and call it that. That’s heresy to those who are adamant that the Z51 is a separate model, not an option package. :rofl:

Sounds like something flex would do and post a video.

It's definitely growing on me. My issue with it is this; It's trying too hard in the styling department.

For example, Aston Martin had and has a unique look exclusive to them. You could say the same about the 911 and pretty much ALL the offerings from Lamborghini in the last thirty years. Now we have a Corvette that's pretty much abandoned any styling cues from it's past. It's like it doesn't know what it want's to be in some ways.

The mid-engine thing doesn't bother me but I hate hearing "Best bang for the buck." It cheapens the car and makes those who say it sound like they're trying to justify their purchase.

I'll say this - pictures don't do it justice. You need to stand next to one to get a real idea what this thing is with all the sharp angles.

When he got out of the car, I said "Bill (in my mildly sarcastic voice), nice tag....."he goes, "I know, I wasn't thinking"..........:D

WRONG. The nose is pointed just like Gene's '72. With the top up, the vert is reminiscent of the '68-'77 coupes.

I think they are trying to boost euro sales by making it a knockoff Ferrari/Porsche type car.

I wish they had stuck with a 427 or larger displacement that would shake the ground when you were near it vs a high pitch euro sounding car.

I do like the color. The evolution of the deep red metallic (I had the Magnetic Red in 2005) is going well:seasix:

I went into C-5 and said Porsche is like a super model compared to a C-5 that's like Rosi O'Donnell. I got a permabann for trolling. :sadangel:
