Yeah, I guess they still have some 2013 Z06's to sell

From the little, "here and there" comments you get from the design people on vids, I get the feeling that there's still quite a bit of tweaking going on. They have a few months before they have to start building them for real.

What he said.

Horsepower is one element of performance. But the C7 is a sophisticated combination of many new - and newly-engineered - elements.

What if the total C7 package allows you to drive the car at the limit... with greater confidence? (versus the C6)

The Current Fatmaro on the other hand, even if you've sat in one for abit, to me feels cramped. Like I'm in a bunker instead of a car. I can see alright, technically but I just get so claustrophobic in one of those cars.
..I hope there is room for a bigger guy in the c7 , or I wont be able to buy one. Im 6-1'' and have wide shoulders 56 jacket. I was never comfortable in a C4 just could not drive it, I have owned C5's and a C6GS. If the C7 is as cramped as the Camaro, they have lost a buyer. Its not just hp that make someone decide to upgrade.
