Corvette Chief Reveals C7's New Mission...
What the heck is the new mission?? I'm guessing it is to sell big overseas!

Keep having to remind my self that there are only 2 days left. I think this car is going to surprise a lot of people on this forum. To the point they will want to buy despite what they've said on here.

I think the new focus will be on handling, driver feel, and lap times. As oppose to out and out acceleration. '
Honestly I think w/o AWD and a major shift of the weight to the rear, we will have to concede the acceleration race. But like the ZR1 the C7 will kill the comp in handling and lap times.

I thought the stated mission was to "change us" and help us "find new roads". But it seems marketing didn't quite capture their chief's boldness.

Trust me. Overseas is out and always will be. Nearly every European country are going to have high import fees and taxes applied to the Corvette, just like they always have. A C6 with all the fees is Porsche 911 and Aston DB9 money over there.
Here, we love the Corvette because you can't buy more car for the money. There, it's the same amount of money as everything else. Outside of price, cars sell in Europe based upon exclusivity. The Corvette isn't a household name like it is here, no one there sees it as anything special.
