I saw one driving down wade ave. yesterday. It's kind of funny looking in person. Reminds me of the GTR.

I saw two c6 corvettes at street survival,the yellow one did awesome drifting in the instructor fun runs.

The back of it is awful.

I can appreciate the desire and need to be bold and to take risks, but from the photos I have seen... It looks quite ugly. But then again I think many new cars are ugly and few get it right.

The back needs the round taillights.

Wade Avenue has changed.

Yeah, I do not get changing the tail lights to look like the Camaro lights. If I was Corvette collector I would be pissed.

The one I saw was white. It looks very disjointed. From the front it looks okay but weird. When I first saw the back of it I thought it was a kit car.

Of course there was a balding white haired gentleman driving it.

There's beauty in function. If you drive one you'd see. Some folks just can't take the speed. Apparently old folks can

I actually like the way this new c7 looks, camaro rear and all...

Jason Mauldin · **Posted:** Sun Oct 27, 2013 11:21 am

Not a fan of the rear but I certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed. The front 3/4 view is awesome in person. Pictures don't really do it justice.

Count me in the camp of hated it in the pics but loved in the flesh.

Jeremy seems to mess his pants every time he sees or talks about a C7....I'm kind of neutral. But I agree the rear tails makes it look very non-vette.

I'd take a 86hp CRX over one.....right Les?

Anyone hear anything about how the Active Rev Matching works on the manual trans? Makes sense on a manumatic or automatic, but I'm wondering how it would work on a real manual....like every 'gate' has a sensor and as you try to place it into a lower gear AND the clutch is in, it will have the ECU blip the throttle? Seems it might slow down shift speeds since 'we' would already have the revs on their way up before we even think about getting the shifter into the lower gear position such that soon it's in the lower gear position we can already be re-engaging the clutch. It'll be interesting to see how effective it will be.
