C7 in person

Hi
I was very lucky to get up close with a C7 recently in Hamilton NZ. Very nice car and wouldn't say no to one, but still love my Z.

This was only the Stingray but a few comments:
- place on front grille for rego good
- black valance on rear high, not sure I like but will stop tar spots showing
- back end seems much higher the C6, ie the underneath from floor
- interior is beautiful.  Look forward to a RHD and I hope they do a good job!!!
- door handle opening very small, for me with largish hands and rings will scratch paint if not careful.
- cold air induction now has 90 degree bend!!  I know a lot of cars do but I also know a lot of cars have better power with the air going straight into the engine!
- still not sure of the rear lights!!!  My opinion is they are similar to what the Camaro has had, but the 2014 Camaro has changed to a beautiful rear light and rear end design.
- love the lines of the roof and down over the back window, but rear view visibility now reduced
- not sure on the c pillar window yet

Yes they remains LHD!!!! 

The sales yard the C7 was at was brilliant circa 10 Camaro's, 10 Stangs, Challengers Vipers Charges and Vettes.

There are rules that some US vehicles have to be converted but those mentioned above can remains LHD.

I saw heaps on the road!!!
