Yet another great review. Hey QSZ...I want to thank you for all these posts you do about the C7. Great job hunting them down and posting them! I used to do this a lot more then I do these days so I really appreciate the effort.

More kudos, great! While we all love performance numbers, torque is what is really fun and this quote from the article really pleases me.
"The Chevy got high marks for its flexible engine—"monster torque," wrote one staffer—great brakes, and rock-solid chassis and handling. "There's an eagerness here that a Corvette's never had," said one tester. Other logbook comments included "amazing agility," "the engine is wonderful" and "jeez-o-pete, this car has NO body roll.”
All this and no news on my order. Chevy says that my dealer doesn’t have an allocation for the build yet. Boo hoo, sniff sniff. Don

Scraping the splitter.
Great quote...

One staffer summed up his C7 experience thusly: "Every person who says they're a car enthusiast should have a new Corvette sitting in the garage." We have never been able to say that about a Corvette before.

What I find interesting is almost every magazine, reviewer, etc has named the 2014 Corvette as "car of the year, best of the best", etc except Motor Trend. What's their deal??
