and 40 years from now the 66 will still be a classic, what will the 2014 be? I dunno it is just not what i wanted to see. I am DIE HARD GM, but i getting more dissapointed by them every year. The dash, interior, hood, grille, rear( except for the 5th gen esque tailights) are almost all VIPER... even them damn stupid angel eye lights.. but by looking at FB and here i am in the minority..

Your gonna have to accept progression as generations come and go... things are going to change... if it didnt we would still only have the C1 corvette....

Remember back when the C2 was being introduced it looked nothing like the C1... and when the C3 was introduced, it looked nothing like the previous... hell the C4 went even further away, and was even labeled the most technologically advanced vehicle of its time... and progress, just keeps progressing.

[popo8]

Im gonna say it now... it wont replace my camaro.. but I WILL have one of those....

[jaysz2893]

oh I accept progression, hell I own a 93 camaro which was far and away the least camaro looking of them all.. but.. i am not accepting of GM ripping off stuff anymore. I know they always trailed behind hence the Mustang and Camaro wars, but the camaro was a different beast.. tihis vette is too much Viper (i know i am beating that to death) and OEM parts bin stuff for me. I was hoping to see a decent progression over the c6.
This just seems too far ahead as well as me too . I dunno I'll just shutup:p

See, and I think it is more Ferrari California, than VIPER. lol

[MeanTA]

I want one.

People need to understand its a progression in design. every sports car in the world takes design from one another. that whole someone did it first is a mute point in new cars.

[jaysz2893]

Its a mute point but if I want a viper or Ferrari California I will buy one of them..

Point Im getting at is California is what 250,000 viper srt 98,000.

get all of the nice crap and performance that will run with them and a much lower base price.

I giggled that dd'n an HHR is the final factor. lol

Well either way, just like everything.. some will love it, some will hate it, and some wont car....

the important thing is...






















































































The engine is called the LT1!!!!!!!!

[rdx]

I like the side, the rear but I'm still trying to get used to that front.. I will wait for the review videos and then I'll decide if I like it or not :)

[popo8]

If anyone comes across anything with a price... please post it up.

[Badbird_96]

They said if you can afford the current vette you can afford the new one.

RIGHT... Im not even greedy.. Id be happy with the 1,000/wk for life.

[Tyler Wheat]

Agreed. That's the only part of the C7 I'm not real thrilled about. I'm sure it will grow on me, though.

Now you're taking me back to some years ago. I really wish that site was still around just so I would have access to all the information that was there.

[Blackbird96WS6]

Ok, I just finished watching the youtube link on this and HOLY SHIT I WANT ONE! That car is f'ing GORGEOUS! I think I would sell my first born to get one... :jest: I was really skeptical when I saw the drawings because the body lines looked kinda weird on paper, but I'm definitely drooling over the final product as I see it on stage. And the interior, oh my god, a car nut and techie's dream merge between race car and gadgetry. The auto-rev match feature when changing gears is definitely a pretty damn cool addition. If I had one, I'd be able to let my wife drive it without getting jerked around in the passenger seat haha. And from the looks of it, the driver's seat looks like it's going to have a very cockpit-esque feel to it which I drool over. I think I'm babbling at this point so I should stop myself... :laugh: I can't wait to see one in person!

And imagine what the special models will look like... Zo6...Zr1.... maybe bigger flared quarters, more aggressiveness all over the place...!!

[Blackbird96WS6]

Seriously I cannot wait to see the upgraded models! Especially the Z06, that's definitely what I would spring for! And I'm all for more aggressive styling. After all, it is the Corvette and is Chevy's "top of the line" model, so it should definitely look the part IMO. I'm liking the new rims on the model they showed too, like a 10-spoke version of the 5th gen Camaro SS rims. I would really like to see something added to the hood of the Z06 model though, simply because as it is, from the front, it looks like the nose is really short (although I'm positive it's just a visual trick due to the incredibly glossy red on that car), but I think a small cowl or something to add just a couple extra body lines on the nose to fix that would be sweet. From the side, however, it looks amazing. Am I the only one who thinks the nose looks stubby when you're looking at it head-on?

THe middle of the hood is camaro ZL1 esq, if you ask me... what do you think?

[Blackbird96WS6]

Yeah, for sure. They certainly seem to be taking all of the best of their newest styling cues and bringing them into one magnificent beast. I can see the cowl lines on it in the pics that don't show the glare of the spotlights, so maybe I just need to see it in a darker color to really concrete my opinion of the nose. I'd love to see one in like a cyber metallic grey or something that really lets you see every little body line in almost any lighting.

OEM Parts bin? The C7 Corvette has two parts which carry over from the C6 Corvette -- the air filter and a latch mechanism (I can't remember if it was targa top, trunk, or hood)... This is far from OEM parts bin car.

Agreed - they have similar styling cues as they always have, but between the two I'd easily take a Corvette over the Viper.

[popo8]

I really like the vette... But im gonna be honest...i will be willing to sacrifice and take whatever is GIVEN to me.....

I hate to say it, but I think they pushed the edgy styling too far with the Vette. It's just disproportionate to me. Too many sharp edges, not enough smooth curves as the Vette has usually had through out the years.

Now if they'd done something like these:

http://www.autofiends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/c3r-3.jpg

I'd have given it a standing ovation. But what they came out with..........I can't say that I like it. It's got it's good points, but there's a lot that I don't like as of yet.

That's a cool looking prototype.. More like a C3.. I do like the new C7 though, check it out on the Chevrolet website, I think it looks a lot better in some pictures than in others.. the ones they have in their website lets you appreciate it in detail..

In my case I like vettes in general but my thing are Pontiacs, I'll just live disappointed forever because I never saw the new GTO I wished they would have made nor a new Firebird.. Hang on in there, you'll get a lot more generations of the vette to hope for new stuff you may like :)

Im already getting used to its ass.

My question is...is that an openable hatch or are we goin back to that sealed ass end like the c3s

Ya i heard that. I guess if it aint broke don't fix it. Its a good design so i personally see no issue in it.

That's a corvette thing Larry, something that I don't envision them changing unless it's full factory coil overs.

Your both right... I agree, it does work... But it just sounds so weird to think that the 7th generation of the CORVETTE is coming out and its suspension has design in common with our highway dept dump trucks... lol

[meissen]

I'm not sure if anyone answered it for ya Larry but yeah the hatch does open. I remember when the 'vette was still in camo that someone snapped some pictures with the trunk/hatch open.
