c7 and c8 side by side

Couldnt disagree more. For me the C7>C8 for everything. The corvette collective didnt want nor ask for a mid-engine super car out of the next gen corvette. There are easily a handful of C6-C7 issues GM could have fixed that have been complaints for years, and squeezed another 10 years out of the front engine rear drive platform, while continuing to lay waste to cars 10x the cost. This was not necessary, and all it did was take the soul away from the corvette for the foreseeable future.
DUDE!! A lot of us spent years lusting for a mid engine corvette, They kept teasing us with spy spots, and the C3s were getting worse every year. And we kept thinking, It's coming, it's coming, so almost 50 years later and I am done buying cars, here it is. To soon old,

From the rear I think the C8 looks horrible, but the side profile is pretty decent.
C8 side profile is sick
I’ll take a C6-zr1 over a c7 or 8. Best looking vette ever made imo.

This just reminds me how sexy the c6 and c7 are. The c8 does nothing for me

It is just me or is the C7 much lower to the ground? I feel like the C8 looks like its on a lift kit compared to the C7.
What bugs me is, looking at the company's website, it looks a lot more sporty than in the real world. This is from the Chevy site. They almost don't look like the same car.
I really need to see one in person before I get to critical.

The ass end of the C8 is so damn ugly I don't think I'll get one. I hate it that much.
Ummmmmm....
Dont think GM cared what the Corvette Collective wanted or didnt want. They went a completely different direction. Interior wise the C8 looks light years away from the cheap rattling interior of the prior generation. As for cost wise it would have been a hell of alot cheaper to stay with the front engine style.
Everyone is gonna have a bias on which generation of the vette looks best.
C7 is lowered on stock bolts.
You can clearly see some C8 in the C7 car. It was said some time ago that the C7 was almost like a stop gap for the midengine during that whole bankruptcy thing. There is still corvette DNA in the C8 and a whole lot of it. As far as the C7 looking dated? I gotta disagree, it is holding its own quite fine.
P.S. it did 7:29:90 unconfirmed at the ring, not that it matters but it was done by Oliver Gavin (Race Car Driver) in a non production trim car.

While the C8 is superior to the C7 in features, engineering, and performance, I do agree that the profile of the C8 doesn't cry out VETTE. I personally prefer the C7 Corvette despite that fact that the C8 is better. I've never driven either, though, so I can only comment based on visuals and what I read. I also understand why Chevy went with the mid-engine platform. I also agree that the C7 does not look dated at all. At least not to me.
