Two rectangular dark exhaust outlets, rather than the four chrome round outlets fixes the rear.
Black Vynil over the front grill chrome stripe fixes the front.
Black or Dark Grey wheels, Blacked out Stingray logo, and clear side markers, fixes the side.
The Carbon unpainted roof (like the C6ZR1) fixes the top.
The car is beautiful, more than the C6. The C6 is beautiful too, more than the C5. The C5 looks old in any shape, and it doesn't age well, same as the C4. C3/C2/C1 will look beautiful forever.
C7-Z51 for 2-3 years, then trade-in on used C7Z06 for 2-3 years, then trade-in on used C7ZR1 for 2-3 years, then move to C8.
Blow-By overpriced and slow Aero Beetles, and make for angry bar talk on abused Beetle drivers, priceless.

For now the aero beetles are busy kicking *** at Le Mans and will win the prototype class too starting next year!
Where was Fiat again? Chevy?
Sorry for the off topic,the Chevy looks good in white or any dark color. Not bad for a car that shares the assembly line and dealer network with a Malibu.

Never been a Vette fan but, honestly, I prefer the C6 Z06/ZR1 to the new car. The C7 did nothing for me when I saw it in person... looks like a transformer. Will be fast though.

be sure to hit the Bourbon Trail on your way home .. Town Branch, Four Roses and Buffalo Trace at the least. Dudley's in Lexington can make you a great meal.

Nicer in the rain <> Better car.
Check 991 results in dry conditions, lap times, reliability. SuperCup results are online. Compare lap times at same tracks with FIA cars.
Factory hired drivers are great for self-brand promoting, like Randy Pobst promoting Volvos.

jeeze, have you all seen the warranty on this thing?
and out of warranty, just slam an LS3 crate in there and eliminate all the electronic wizardry.
having a soulless, Bowling Green beat-on car is a......
btw, does anyone have a link for the long Vette thread on the 997 forum. thanks.

great idea.
btw, for a V8 whether running 180 degree exhausts or not,
regardless of how bad it looks, having the outlets together to make the note as close to a point source as possible, such that the listener doesn't need to be located in the geometric centerline (and a good deal in forward or behind) to perceive a phase-correct exhaust note.

What would greatly improve the look of the rear is if they cleaned up the vampire fang vents that flank the tail lights. IMO the tail lights themselves aren't bad at all... it's them vents.
I can't decide if it's better or worse than this...
Also... something like this would help the exhaust...
