Nice
Ok, sold me.
Love the wide body look. 620 HP will be 720 HP in about 3 weeks, with an upper pulley by LPE (speculation only)
Confirmed what I was told a year ago confidentially, which makes thinking about what is coming next really mind blowing.
620 is the estimated. That is what I believe was estimated for the ZR1 until 638 became reality.
Nice job GM, just wish it was a blown 427. Maybe next time.
Need to see the engine bay up close.

Looks like GM's making a commitment !!!
Wait... weight ???
Hope it isn't pig heavy...
even knowing how well the overweight GT-R gets around the track.

I kind of think that pic is weird. It has a manual **** design with some sort of pattern. No markings on the shift console, indicating a manual, even though the pattern, doesn't have enough markings on it to show seven speeds plus reverse. Then it has the same markings as the Auto paddles on the current C7's hmm.........

It's got the look !!! The grille is much better without that goofy looking retainer ring. It kinda looks like about what we figured it would. I mean how much could they do to enhance the C7 without gooning it up. The paddle shifters in the photo could be for rev matching activation like in the stingray and manual shifting for the 8 spd auto that has been highly rumored. Looks like it's all over but the shouting for the diehard macho manual only crowd.

Looks like the markings similar to how BMW does it with their DCT Transmissions. Still shows P, N, D or M on the shifter, and when the shifter is moved into M mode, its controlled completely by the paddles and does not shift for you when redlined.
Do you any of you have any other experience with other vehicles??

I would love to see a DCT in this car.... might make me upgrade in a couple of years.
