Can anyone post what they know as fact about the C7 from photos , specs , performance and anything inbetween that is is factualy known .

ZeeOSix

Every tid-bit in this forum is about as "factual" as you're gonna find at this time ... until the formal and official unveiling on 1-1-13 by GM.

C7 will debut at NAIAS (or the NCM event just before that if you want to get technical). That's really the only fact you need right now.

What you/we/I know collectively is depedent upon who you subscribe to. The following information camps are as follows:
1) Japolink
2) Mr Keeks
3) Car Mags: Car & Driver, Road & Track, Motor Trend
4) A bunch of spy pics from asorted websites .

The Only definitive source is One Thirteen Thirteen.

Everything else is somewhere between vetch and vetchnachi ...

Axial

Don't forget that the LT1 is a certainty. Its power numbers are not, but we know what technology is inside of it and that it is going into the C7.

Sidepiper

2 door, no back seat, flip up headlights.

R&L's C6

rcallen484

Start/stop, AWD and optional rocket boost.

O'hh is that some more conjecture?

...but keep in mind that Keek's rhymes with Leaks
and Jalopnik rhymes with Yankopnik
and Car And Driver = CAD
and Road and Track = Really True
and Motor Trend = Mostly True
and ... oh well, I'm out

Yep - tungsten on the base car and platinum on performance models

avacorvette

It will have a Kanuetter Valves and High Performance Muffler Bearings.

Tonylmiller

I think the muffler bearings are ceramic to deal with high temperature environments.

Since the car will have shallow water crossing abilities, it will come with a supply of water line.

Oof. Talk about bringing up bad memories. My advice to the crowd out there... Don't install a bottom-feeding ram air intake and then drive through pooled water. That was an EXPENSIVE mistake.

(Before the more intense name-calling starts, it was unavoidable. A descending, curving highway onramp with cars close behind me accelerating to freeway speeds. You couldn't see the pool until you rounded the bend and I couldn't jam on the brakes for fear of rear-ending.)
