Nope. You are not alone. The reality for me is that I think it's ugly, but I don't give a shit as long as its a significant improvement over the c6. I didn't think the c6 had enough change from the c5. There are a lot of improvements here.

Id rather keep the 5.0 than get this Vette.

I've been watching review vids and reading about it recently. They did a hell of a good job overall in making a complete range of improvements. I'm curious to see if this helps them make penetration into Europe in particular. (Though the import tariffs make it fairly expensive compared to here.) If I'm not mistaken this is also the first generation that will have right hand drive from the factory for those markets as well. The C6 did relatively well in Japan in particular (relative to expectations).

I don't think it's ugly OTHER than the rear end. GM seems to have a hard time with tying in rear ends to an overall design. Curious to see what they do with the upstream performance models, and a next generation ZR1. Twin turbo?

We already went down the Stang vs Vette rat-hole. The vette is better by far at everything. I will admit that with all the mods the vette is scary on the track where the stang was a lot of fun. Even though I've made people cry in both.

The only thing is though, granted I haven't fully compared the 2, is the Mustang is probably quite a bit cheaper to modify.
