I like them. They had two at the dealer this last week when we picked up our new Camaro 1LE. This last Sunday we actually did a cruise with the Corvette and Camaro guys here. Two of the new Vettes were there. Great looking car and sounds good too. I'm considering one for myself next year but not sure I want to spend 68k on one. It's really going to depend on what Nissan and Subaru bring to the market in the next year. Also waiting to see the new mustang.

Function over form.
Every vent and spoiler on the Vette is functional. It all has a purpose.

Great looking Machines! I like the rear looks aggressive. Matter a fact I rather take that rear then that disgusting amuse rear any day of the week.

It's pretty cool how the Z doesn't look outdated next to the C7. I'm not a fan of the new Vette, but I wouldn't mind having that beast in my garage.

The C7 is a sweet ride, but the design looks so "busy." I saw one in person about a week ago and it definitely stands out. Seeing it next to the Z though....I'm not 100% sure "busy" is a good thing 5-10 years from now. I think the 370Z's design has aged pretty well. You can't really compare the two though. apples. oranges.

both are hot cars and offer different looks for different likes...don't really mind the back end of the vette but wish they would've stuck with tradition a lil more...either that or matched the tailpipe shape with the car (more squarish)...way more value for your money with the z though...most can't afford the vette especially in today's economy

Not to mention 50/50 weight distribution, active suspension and wheels and tires to use that extra power. It's just so much more than a Z its hard to compare the two.

GM is really turning out some great vehicles lately. New Caddiillac ATS looks like a sweet ride too and has beat BMW in magazine comparos
