Skip shift is not a problem. Just accelerate to 25mph. then you can shift all you want. CAGS really never intrudes, unless you are afraid to drive the car. And it's only when shifting from 1st gear.
Don't understand the concern. Still, CAGS is worth the trouble, it's saved us all a lot of $$ in gas-guzzler taxes :thumbs: |

Are they sure about that one?
I could've sworn that the C3 era small blocks had a slight rear weight bias as well? You're right. Since 1963 there have been many Corvette models that have had better than a 50/50 rearward weight bias. Apparently C&D quoted a GM press release without consulting their own archives. |

Unfortunately some just have a difficult time hearing the second coming needs to go back to the drawing board!:rofl:
It also looks like for the mags (C&D and MT anyway), they also don't think it needs to go back :D |
It was just 40ish posts ago that this Thread was about the 10 AWESOME Things About the 2014 Corvette - a Nice Topic . . . . then someone threw in CAGS, someone else threw in 10 Worst Things, and in the blink of an eye the Trolls and regular Infighters yet once again, left the original topic off in the distance, replaced with their regular bullshot agendas . . . . . Sad :shrug:

This is exactly why people get so defensive and annoyed. Positive or productive topics get ruined continuously by folks who simply want to de-rail things. And then those people suggest others are too sensitive... it isn't being too sensitive it is being constantly pestered and annoyed. :ack:
If somebody was in one of the C6 sections doing the same thing, they'd be gone in a day or two. S. |

It won't be an issue for much longer. Do you really think any of those people are going to come into a thread where somebody posts pictures of their new C7 and make dumb comments about the "fangs" or the taillights or the plastic wheel well trim? I would submit they'll either be banned from this section in short order or they'll just disappear.

Why? Do those same people get banned for making fun of the GS gills? No! And they should not unless some the Sissies complain. It's a forum...get use to it!

I good article with some good images.
Question: Is it true that if you don't get the Z51 package and a manual, your rear fender vents won't be functional? (#4 in the list) |
#1 should be more reliable also. No real moving parts!!!!

Those Zits are much smaller and at least flow instead of sticking out like a sore thumb. Your the photoshop king....put the C7 right above or below that Viper pic! Then put up a poll if your brave enough.
As for the fangs, I think I like the fangs better then the HUGE HOLES in your doors... |

In addition to my top five: 1. Complete suckage on the hood 2. Color like a buttercow 3. Black wheels 4. Horrible gap between nose and hood 5. The most clown-shoe-like butter cow ever seen |

I am surprised you did not take this opportunity to promote the black wheels.

Actually I don't see many either, I don't know how the productions #'s but I don't think they are "low", meaning a few hundred. I also must apologize, I did leave one piece of criteria out and that would be expense. I would say in that regard a ZR1 is on the low end of the supercar expense category, then up to the limited Porsches/Lambos/Ferraris etc.:thumbs:
Anyone of the top 2 dozen car manufacturers can make an expensive and exclusive car. That's never going to be a huge success. 1 in 50 will probably be as reliable and almost none will be as practical. It takes an insane amount of talent, from engineering, to managing to make a car like the Corvette. Honestly, you just don't get it. :( |
