Corvette C7 thread

[MoneyTron]

America's sportscar is about to crush the buildings.

Here's what we know so far.

• New engines are called LTx, like in the C4.
• They will be DI with the LT1 having around what the LS3 makes now.
• The LT4 will have 586hp and intro'd in 2015
• 7 speed manual
• 8 speed auto likely
• Flat bottom wheel
• Targa still available
• Heated/cooled seats available
• LED ambient lighting
• Digital tach/configurable screen
• Fixed quarter windows
• Lightest Corvette in modern history
• "hot rod" version coming in '15 or '16

About to turn the 911 into mincemeat.

[Brooklynzson]

Crazy stats, but that shyt look like ass. shyt look like a C6 Z06 + GTR

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I thought they were going more stingray style...wasnt there a REEEAALLL early glimpse of one in one of the first 2 transformers movies?

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

It's going to have some Stingray influence but that drawing has almost been spot on with the spy shots.

That's a disgrace

That's a disgrace

I remember people throwing fits about the last 'Vette having non popup headlights and looking like an S2000/Viper hybrid. Now everyone loves it.

Same will happen here. The people who have seen the new one say its looks great. It won't even have round tailights.

Too many options? Even in base form its going to shyt on anything in its price class. It's too fast around the track for the M3 and Boxster-class cars. It's only competition is the 911 which costs at least $40-70K more.

I think its getting unveiled at the Detroit autoshow.

The GT-R outruns anything other than the ZR1 which it is 10-15k cheaper than.

The base price for the GT-R is in the 90's now. It and the C6 Z06 are about equal around a track and have been for awhile.

I don't count it as a competitor for the base C7. Maybe when the high performance car comes out you could compare them.

The base C7 will be in the 50-60's with the Boxster and M3. Good deal IMO.

Could probably pick up a 4.0 GT3 in the high 90's

That's just an artist's rendering. Way too may crease lines, like the Cadillacs. Although, older Sting Rays did have some prominent crease lines.

 

[Card Holder]

don't like the fact they caling it LT1/LT4 when those engines already existed in the 90's with the stupid ass optispark.
