GM Authority reader Brett K. snapped this photo of a 2014 Corvette C7 Stingray in Blade Silver Metallic with the (go even faster)Â Z51 Performance Package. All we can say is that Chevy’s new supercar looks as awesome in the real world as it does on the floor of the auto show circuit.
Which color would you have the C7 in? Sound off in the comments.

The blue
This car looks far from stunning, very busy design resembling more a Japanese boy racer than heritage rich corvette. The cheap plastic trim pieces and vents and camaroesque rear end complete this visual disaster. Hopefully it drives and handles better than it looks.
Booo, I don’t know if you’ve seen one in person, but they actually look terrific. The photographs honestly do not convey how nice they appear. In addition, the interior upgrades are tremendous.
I agree with Vic regarding color- blue.
“than heritage rich corvette. ”
You mean white-wall tires, cross-fire injection, t-tops, pop-up headlights, the fibreglass pannel rattle, and an available trailering package? Nobody wants that whory old junk anymore and the C7 reflects it
“camaroesque rear end”
Even after the Camaro’s MCR, It still doesn’t look anything like a Camaro. You’re about 3 months too late.
As for the colour, everyone rocks to Lime Rock.
You are clueless. Heritage refers to racing history and performance aspect. Pretty obvious these factors are not familiar to you.
“Heritage refers to racing history and performance aspect.”
No it doesn’t. In an automotive context, ‘heritage’ is analogous with styling cues.
The word you’re looking for, and didn’t know otherwise, is ‘track record’. It’s a word that reflects racing efforts of the past, and eventually, the results of the C7’s racing efforts. In fact, the word has more of a connection to racing as it was used to describe horse’s and their ‘track record’.
Here’s some proof.

“a record of past performance often taken as an indicator of likely future performance” – right there.
It’s just as stupid to say a horse’s ‘heritage’ means it’s past racing efforts. That’s why you’re wrong again.
Let’s take this piece by piece, sir.

-And that’s coming from Jalopnik.
“very busy design resembling more a Japanese boy racer”
-“Executed with beauty and proportion, every millimeter serves its purpose.”
“than heritage rich corvette.”
-“Designed to dismiss the ritualistic and the cliché. Created to oppose the expected, abolish empty traditions and explore the unknown.”
“The cheap plastic trim pieces and vents”
-“Functional air vents affirm the Stingray exterior… Sharp and angular, each vent is purposefully designed with precision-angled slats to strategically direct airflow. Style intersects with purpose.”
“and camaroesque rear end complete this visual disaster.”

“Hopefully it drives and handles better than it looks.”
-This is the only hanging issue here, so let’s leave it at that for now.
