Is it too close in looks to the C6 or do you feel the car looks flat out gorgeous?
Maybe not to close, but definitely close. I think they they did the best they could without speeding a whole lot of money on extra tooling. :cheers:ZO6inmyfuture said:Is it too close in looks to the C6 or do you feel the car looks flat out gorgeous?
Why is that?Mark_02_Z06 said:Honestly, it makes me a little sick to look at it.
The Looks need improvement for sure...Flat Out Gorgeous is NOT how most will describe he looks of this car. I must admit tho that the cars awesome performance will help the car look betterZO6inmyfuture said:Is it too close in looks to the C6 or do you feel the car looks flat out gorgeous?
The C5 Z is based on the FRC style, which is very distinct from the coupe. Many comments re C6Z styling concern the fact that the new Z is the base coupe with some wheel flares and a small hood scoop. There have been photoshops offered illustrating what the new Z would look like in an FRC style - personally, I find those much more attractive styling exercises. The body lines are quite different and discernible between coupe and FRC. For me, there is an added bonus in that the FRC offers a distinct trunk area.vettemann7 said:IMHO it surprises me that some people say they don't like that the new C6Z06 looks a lot like the C6. The C5 Z06 in my opinion looks very much like a C5 and everyone loves it! If you don't like the look of the C6 period, then I understand you would most likely not like the C6Z look, but other than a few design cues that are not really distinguishable by anyone other than corvette or car people it seems the C5Z is not visually so much different than the C5. I say this not just because I love the look of the new C6 and C6Z but because I have had sooo many people ask me what is different about my Z06 compared to a regular C5. I have to point out to them the grated intake and side scoops and Z06 badging. I even had one guy in a Camaro the other day strain to read the ZO6 badge on my Z as if at first he didnt realize it was not just a C5. Again, just MHO but it seems like I haven't read anything about the look of the C5Z being like the C5 and just a lot about C6Z looking too much like the C6 :z:

Different stokes... :cheers:
Boy, if the problem were only looking too much like the C6 coupe!ZO6inmyfuture said:Is it too close in looks to the C6...
I feel the car looks flat-out boring, bordering on uninspired ugliness. The car has no 'balls' whatsoever!...or do you feel the car looks flat out gorgeous?
