That front end is hideous, it's like these manufacturers are trying to one up each other with the most gaudy front bumper. Curb weight is pretty bad for a 2 seat sports car. Power is ridiculous and can't be put down. C7 Z06 is already an exercise in spinning the tires from 1st-3rd.

I hate that the car looks so busy, but I'll reserve judgment till more people get to drive this thing

It's over 500 lbs heavier than my C6Z, but it will run circles around it I'm sure. Time marches on

Love it. Next you guys are going to say F1 cars look goofy.

You buy a track focused car for the track.

Seriously. The ducting, the wing, the intakes, the lip, the hood ..... they are all there for a reason, to go fast.

the hood looks ridiculous. The wing looks like a toy. It’s an ugly car. Also, a super charger like that is so lame for a track car with so much weight up high. Cooling issues...Having 85 coolers is not a plus, it’s necessary when you don’t manage heat well.

Corvettes have always only been ok looking to me, but this thing is really unattractive, IMO.

I didn't say it was a pretty car. I gather you don't track much. Very few track rats care how pretty their car is. They make modifications to go fast. Fact, big wings make down force. Hard to have a pretty little wing do that.

We can agree to disagree. For what this car is intended to do I think it's great. But I don't think I'd drive this to work, nor would you an ACR.

I personally love the look of the car. It's clear Chevrolet targeted it's direct competition in the Viper ACR.
