I'm about at the point of not giving a darn any more. By the time we can actually buy one, the new Mustang will be out. Should be interesting next year.

Let's just flat-out boycott the 1-13-13 Corvette site and just refuse to acknowledge any silly videos they put there.

Am I the only guy here who thinks it hilariously weird to see a camo'ed C7 included in a video game?? It is at once a brilliant move and just flat out odd IMHO. I get the marketing point but to race it camo'ed is just weird.

doncha jus wonder:what ever happened to "spy fotos?" I guess with the days of print media going away, no one on a "blog" is willing to PAY for a spy foto...so we get all this promo stuff strait from the manufacturer which is less than interesting.

BlueOx, this video looks like the real deal, but the one13thirteen 11/29 video is still locked it appears. So, technically, you can take a peak.

I see an un camouflaged C7 vert at :31 among other tidbits like a good view of the suspension components of one wheel. Other new clue are surely there.

corvette-c7 has got to be an insider as this is that person's first post on a brand new CF account and has given us what appears to be the 11/29 video?

Default Being deceptive?

At :11 the tach shows a line drawing of a 2005 C6. You can see the XM antenna. Whats up with that?

EDIT: Sorry guys, did not realize there was a whole OTHER thread already pointing this out. Why we gots to have so many threads on the same topic? Oh well, sorry again.

....also, the drawing in the center of the tach appears to be highlighting the drive train. Why would it do that if it were not somehow communicating something along the lines of which of the four wheels is getting power? I'm not saying it has AWD, but it kinda hints to maybe it kind of perhaps does? Huh?

I'm rolling in the floor at your frustration level.

You keep saying this leaking of small images, tidbits here and there is lousy marketing but yet, you're here, everyday waiting for the next morsel.

Yeah, Jalopnik showed it. CD put it on the cover. But did they? is it real?

This is great. I love the idea of putting the camoed car in GT5 and getting that entire demographic lured in.

But i'm not sure about the cartoons on the dash.

I don't know, I think this is bordering on "insulting silliness" by not showing at least one actual section of the car in its entirety, like the headlight, the seat or maybe even a door panel.

Ok, they showed one side of the suspension..Why not show both sides with exhaust ?

I am pissed.

I'm rolling on the floor that you would think that as I was here months before they ever said a word. I certainly care about the C7 but these videos and the cutesy countdown are a joke.
