It is smaller than the one in that render. Everything else seems right on.
The flag logo is more V shaped and it is missing the corvette lettering that is centered under flag logo.
If you collect up all I have posted. I think I have covered pretty much everything.

LT1 430hp close to current base engine
Base model only for 2014, supercharged 2015
LT4 586hp 2015
7 speed manual - reverse is far right and down
Targa
Quarter windows fixed
Back hatch opens
Heated and cooled seats
Although I do know quality and materials for interior are apparently "best ever "
IMO it is far better than C6, maybe not Cadillac
Just saw black with red stitching
Center stack in interior similar to current but vertical passenger grab handle just to right of Nav unit.
Cluster has large flat screen about 4" high by 6.5" wide centered in middle. Speedo on left side of flat screen (real speedo, not a digital graphic one), on right side of flat screen is fuel gauge upper right , above temp gauge.
Speedo gauge on left like a reverse capital "D" and the right side cluster looks like a capital "D".
DIC is outstanding and Nav Bluetooth is better than Ford Sync.
Steering wheel flat bottom F1 'style
Parking break handle is non existent as far as I can see but looks like it is a switch in center console like a window switch.... Maybe electronic. Just to right of ride control selector. Not sure how it works..
Ride control selector is in same place
Convertible up and down button in same place
LED ambient lighting
LED ambient lighting is sweet.
Back up camera
9 speaker Bose with subwoofer in trunk.
Wireless connection to iPod and some type of charge pad
Cool Stingray logo on fenders.....
Not the script from the past, but an actual emblem of a stylized stingray
Big front grill opening has a middle horizontal bar the color of the paint
Hood vents I saw were black
Crossed flag logo more "V" shaped
Rear bumper "CORVETTE" lettering is not the same color as car
Exhaust improved, dual note exhaust. Tips look exactly like C6
Rear end is noticeably thinner.
Rear taillights do resemble Camaro/ Malibu but VERY angry looking.
They are aware of uproar on tailights and said, " they bitched about fixed headlights on C6 and then got used to it, it will be same with taillights.
BU lights are those thin vertical lights at the bottoms/side of the bumper
Thinner tires are weird when I compare to my '13 427
New from Sept 9:
2014 will be lightest modern corvette in history
No AWD
Vert tunk area same as C6 with slight changes to storage bins
Vette team surprised how good latest Jaloponik renderings are
New from Sept 22, new thread here:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...more-info.html
tires...P285/30ZR19 frt, P235/25ZR20 rear
Front park assist.
Coupe removable roof with optional carbon fibre.
2015 lt4 will be upgrade of camaro zl1 with more hp
Dash similar setup to like xts with cue electronics system.
The supercharged lt4 is a 2015 thing.
hearing that waiting for 2015 is advisable with engineering tweaks etc
Quarter windows are fixed, you can see through quarter windows.
Optional seats, memory, cool, heat, hi performance Recaro.......definitely options
Hood vent unlikely on Lt1 ... For sure on on lt4
Headlights function similar to caddy ....
A lot of effort to cool brakes and lots of ducts for that purpose
will stream music wirelessly and will have apps on the touchscreen?
Like the caddy
True hotrod of C7 will be 2016
Renderings: (Trust me these are legit.)

Hey, Keeks. Do you know if the C7 will have electric power steering or still hydraulic assist?
In those CAD renders, I don't see a hydraulic PS reservoir.

BTW, I don't see a throttle body as well. I'm wondering if this motor will have the same kind of valve actuation-based throttle that the 370z (VQ37) motors have. Those motors still have throttle bodies, but they're open 100% during operation and the valves control the throttle.

One more thing I just noticed... The CAD drawing of the seats don't have the big open loop provisions as the seats we've seen in the prototypes. I still believe those are temporary seats so that the new awesome lux seats aren't shown off.
