gut call - Yes.

Will i buy one, or depart with my beloved C6? I dont know, maybe eventually, but i dont really want to think on terms like that, right now especially.

There is a lot of things i WANT but know i wont get. But want, YES, DO WANT! This Stingray looks badass!

It's fine to make gut calls now until you see and drive one...then money talks, BS walks.

Based on appearance alone, which is all we have to go now, I say "Yes"!

But assuming it performs better than the C-6 (comparable model) and it isn't priced outrageously, the jury is still out on that. I think it looks VERY promising though.

As far as the design goes I say yes, the biggest thing weighing down the car is the economy IMO. The economy still sucks and it's not going to get better any time soon.

I agree, and my money stays in my checking account if I don't like a product. No BS. My money walks to another store.

I would never use them. I already rarely turn on the radio, because I enjoy driving so much.

But some on here probably wonder how a person can drive without a computer to blip the throttle when they shift....I don't know, but somehow I'm always able to do it.

And if in a blue moon I ever need directions. Gasp! I might have to grab an actual map, since I didn't want infotainment invading the car. Oh the horrors!

Yes a 2 year old used C7 RED VERT with F55 and with 2000-4000 miles on the clocck so I guess I will have to wait at least 3 more years.

If a rear end conversion kit to make it look like the concept car was available...I would die for it. Other than that, it looks freaking stupid in the rear.

Even with some issue that are not up to my liking I would still buy one. Not this first year as I believe there will be issues to iron out. But I believe that it will be a great road car as well as track car. Besides it is a Corvette so in my opinion it can't be all bad.

At $229,825 base price it better be more than a work of art.

At 1/4 the price I'll be tickled to death with the Vette!!!

What world do you live in?

I value your position on gadgetry, but I'm the opposite. When I buy a car, it has to have all the options, even if I never use them. If I need to , it will be there.
Having a Nav system when on road trips is so much less stressful, it's almost criminal

In 2 or 3 years, I'll have a C7 loaded, right to the N-U-T-S
