I could have had a Vette already but I aint that old and I wanted to wait for the C7.....you know...for the younger generation
.....and it's only common sense that the C7 WILL outperform the C6.
You really think Chevy is gonna screw up on the HALO car????
.......Give me a break...NOT gonna happen
...The C6 was better than the C5 and the C7 will be no different...
....I dont even have to wait until Jan 13, 2013 to know that....
...I dont need to own a Vette to know that either....
... My deposit on my C7 has already been placed.....thats how SURE I am

I agree that it's going to be one for the record books. I bet the C7 will be a hair behind C6Z06 in performance, and will have one hell of an interior.

Thanks for scanning and posting the article, 1320! Great reading. Interesting they note that it uses the same pistons as the LSA AND the LS9, as the LSA uses the hypereutectic aluminum pistons, while the LS9 has forged. Oh well, probably just a typo, still a great article!

To the OP, thanks for posting the article!
The new engine seems terrific . . . but can it make up for the so-so styling of the new car?
IMHO, the C6 is a very hard act to follow, stying-wise, anyway.

This cannot be stated strongly enough. We're not talking the C3/C4 hand-off here. The C6 is already one hell of an impressive car, and extremely easy on the eyes as well...whereas the C7's styling is, well, I'm being generous when I refer to it as "unfortunate" at best, and "Hot Wheels" or "Anime" at worst. The technical advancements are not be enough to outweigh the gross esthetic stumble...JMO. It's just too ugly...

Corvette will never be "Old mans car" to people who really understand and drive Vettes IMO.
Yes there maybe some older guys driving them but they are not old @ heart
