I think that it needs a 10" lift, actually.

Hah! You are so wrong on that score. My wife spits when ever she even sees a picture of a 'vette. She's a coupe woman and never liked roadsters. It'd be a lot nicer if she'd make sure the window was DOWN first!

Wait -- she attempts to spit at Corvettes on the road but forgets to roll her window down ? Is that an insult?

Involuntary reaction. Much the same as when I smell steamed spinach.

I got a problem with those rear taillights, breaking now with the tradition since 62 wouldnt be so bad if more thought had gone into them.

People said that about the C6 and its headlights too. I think they look alright, but still has the transformer smoking 4 cigarettes thing going on.

I was fine with axing the gimmic-ie pop up headlights, should have been done earlier.

I like the exterior. Interior has improved over the years but it still needs a bit of work. I think you get a lot of car for the money. You can get a Vette for half the price of some Italian metal and chase them all around and make them sweat. No need to reinvent the wheel. If something works, go with it.

Certainly not the worst looking sports car I've seen. Certainly not the best either. Still, being faster than a Ferrari while also being a lot cheaper has a certain appeal.

Nope, I'm not impressed.

I think I'll stick with my old one.
