Well that's pretty stupid. You can buy that exact car, order those wheels from GCA and order that luggage as well.

Come on team Corvette... save the "big reveals" for something big i.e. C7R or people will lose interest.

Exactly what I was expecting, given I've owned multiple corvettes down the years, staring with the c4(I was 17 when I got a used 85 in 1993)

Yesterday's pictures showed a c6, clearly, the back end of those cars aren't even remotely similar , doesn't mater now, they are just teasing people, I like the new car but I won't even consider a base model anymore.

Could it be that those under 30 can't afford the car so they are desperately trying to hype it to the older guys; the ones they didn't want buying their C7.

I'm sure there is plenty of room back there for matching his and hers walkers custom fitted with serial number plaques that match the VIN of the car in the same color combo.

Why did they have to use Laguna blue for this edition? Kinda ruins it for me. They should've used the green or white.
