Engine is being developed locally in St Catharines. Is aluminum with DI and there are no carryovers from other small blocks(all new design, cam in different place). Tests have shown about 20-25% more horsepower.

This is nothing more than the 2010 C6 Gran Sport.

Now this rendition of the C7 I like. Nice clean lines and still retains the curves of the C6 that I like. I do not like the rendition that does not even look like a Corvette. If GM is going to do a C7, I think they should retain some of the curves that the current C6 has, with maybe a few subtle modifications. I feel the C6 is a true classic design, so why mess with a classic.

If this is the new C7, I'll keep my current C6 for as long as possible. This design is atrocious.

I'm sure the styling will end up being everything we hope for in a next gen. Vette..... I just hope they put steering wheel audio buttons on the base Vette, if $15,000 Hyundai's have them, why not the Vette? It seems silly to reach for the radio **** on a $60,000 car.

lol!!! you are so right! i think about it all the time. i have an h2 with them and when i get back in my vette i sometime start trying to push buttons that aren't there lol... funny you said that

it looks like a warmed over c6. Doesn't do it for me.
I think the retro c5 looks awesome.

I also like this one!
