[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1833702, member: 31322"] Lol- I have a C5Z that’s exactly how I feel your C5.5 (sorry C6 lol) is part of the same basic design from the C4 era & they perfected it w/ the C6 ZR1, the C7 was a “stop-gap measure” while they nailed the C8 down. Sure….edgy sheet metal & fake stitched leather aside- toss a C7 up on a lift next to a C6 & C5….what do you see? Transverse leaf springs, double wishbone suspension all around w- aluminum a-arms/spindles (interchangeable between C5-C6 not sure bout C7) the sway bars, the aluminum subframes, the transaxle/torque tube, the placement of the manual trans etc etc etc - same sh*t, the C7 convinced me to finish “restomodding” my now 718whp C5Z. The C8 tho? That was worth waiting for. Will own one, next vehicle purchase….but keeping my old school built C5Z All that vette talk aside, if I haven’t already responded: From a purely exterior aesthetic standpoint- the Gen2 is the best looking, the fenders front/rear are more chunky/exaggerated than either gen, the front end seems more menacing & shows more of the suspension off (esp in stock trim w/ the bumper holes) even the tailgate appliqué is more “in your face” w/ the “frowning” downturn @ either end of that huge ass emblem. A gen2 w/ some quality aftermarket stickers looks damn serious. The gen3 is too reserved from a styling standpoint, but love the upgraded interior, the 37”s, & the most importantly, the coil over rear - but none of the gen3 advantages are exterior looks. Gen2 > gen1 > gen3 from a purely “looks” perspective, I’m gonna guess the majority agrees Perfect analogy? What makes the TRX blend into the crowd more than a gen2 Raptor is precisely what makes the Gen3 not stand out as well, it’s only a massaged/restrained take on the standard truck. I CANT tell the difference between a Rebel & a TRX from 1/8 of a mile away, same for a gen3 & a platinum F150, but I can tell a gen2 from any other F150 from a 1/4 mile+ away. #truth [/QUOTE]
