Default Maybe GM should just make this the C7

Well after all the "spy" photos and conjecture, I would rather have this be the next Corvette:



Built on a chassis developed in conjunction with Lotus, the Venom GT Spyder is powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the 6.2-liter V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette. Weighing in at just over 2,600 pounds, it can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and 200 mph in a scant 15.9 sec.

Oh well one can only hope.

And it is available starting at about $50,000?

No more like $950,000 but you are not going to get a base C7 at $50,000 let alone a ZR1......but hey who's counting.

Maybe I can get a Sears riding mower, put Nitros on it, slicks, probably get it to run the 1/4 in the low 11's.....................hummmm, so maybe no reason to buy a new C7?

Yes, because I want a Corvette that looks like a bloated Lotus Elise kit car.

Wow...the post was a lark....but if it generates this much response and such serious, and immediate condemnation all I can say is sorry, but really get a life guys. What the C7 looks like or not is not a real priority in the scope of real issues in life. Bye.

If it's not a real priority, why are you so worried about the responses?

Well, I guess that is just the way it goes when there is so little real information to go on.

I don't see any threads by you to help improve the mess.
