What of the C6? Cost? Styling? Kits?

What of the C6? If the C7 is MUCH better and faster the demand will be sky high and dealer gouging will never end. Prepare for a drastic drop in C6 resale values. Time to buy a C6? "After the C7...

Well, I think they might use the Viper marketing plan yes. This plan features very high msrp, very low availability, and no ability to negotiate prices. This would make the C7 a Viper like car...

I'd be excited if the LSA was the base engine for the C7. It's a dependable variation of the engine used in the ZR-1. The LS7, aka, the "427" ( small block ) according to thousands of posts here...

"Seem to be negative."? For years we've been reading about the actual experiences of Z06 owners. These people were just reporting what happened to them. I don't think that's negative. Like, hey,...

What makes you think there should be any more or less problems with the GS model than with any other model? The frame and most running gear is identical to the narrow body base model so aside from...

I think all C6 verts look pretty bad with the top up and pretty good with the top down. Of all the C6s I prefer the narrow body "base" model. If a car is wider it should be so for a reason like the...

The same thing will drive sales that has always driven sales. This factor drove sales in the mid to late 70s and into the 80s when the vette was a very poor car ( my opinion ) yet sold zillions.

The 427 is not a 427 it's a small block. I thought the LS3 GS was about as fast as a Z06 anyway...and maybe even almost as fast as a ZR1?

So why the need for an LS7 in the GS?

So wasn't that the whole point in buying it?

You wanted super wide tires for the "look". Well, tires that are way way way too wide come at a price. That price is, among other things including...

The last 427 went into a vette back around the late 60s/early 70s. The LS7 is a way over bored small block as everyone knows. Calling it a 427 is marketing fluff. It is a small block. However,...
