Hence, for me the C7 is way better looking than the C8 and also for me, the gen 6 ZL1 is way better looking than the C8. Mostly because of the reason mentioned above.
I think the most radical change was C6 to C7. C7 seemed to embrace the exotic lines, angles, aggressive styling, kind of a no-holds-barred to one-up Ferrari and AM in front-engined styling, and I think it does just that. When you see a Z06, it's just flat out hot-ness and far removed from the old-guy-car image.

C8 is more of an evolution of that style IMO. It kind of carries it forward, changes the configuration obviously, but seems to retain a lot of the same cues and hard angles. I like C8 a lot, but I don't tend to compare different engine configurations in that way.
