Countdown to C7
This Sunday night there will be a live video feed of the unveiling:
http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...day-night.html I know where I'll be. I have the distinction of being the same age as the Corvette brand having been born on the day of the announcement and showing of the original C1. With the exception of the C5 - C6 all generations have been greatly different in profile. Will the spy pics be accurate? Will there be anything gross about the new design? Will it still be affordable? It won't be long now....... |

GM will be streaming the
live unveiling of the 2014 C7 Corvette on the Corvette Action Center - Sunday night, January 13, 2013, starting at 6:45pm EST. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/c7-corvette/133370-2014-c7-corvette-reveal-live-video-stream.html |
Re: Countdown to C7
I'm anxious to see what they look like, too. I don't know if I'd call any new Corvette "affordable". I think of a small sedan as that, that's just me though, lol.

Re: Countdown to C7
Well, that's it.
The new "Stingray " is born. Corvette is now 60 yrs old. (in a few days) The "suits" were not impressive to me. The car is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsQGc...ayer_embedded#! |
Re: Countdown to C7
So most of the magazines were WAY off.

Re: Countdown to C7
it's awful. whoever designed the rear end should have been drowned at birth for the good of all corvette kind. Did the camaro not sell as well as they hoped and they had a stock pile of tail lights and they thought we wouldn't notice? Big vents on the rear quarters, so water will flood whatever is under then in the rain or being washed?
I'm so pissed off i'm going to go watch ted |

2000 psi on the fuel rail.

http://www.zr1.net/forum/picture.php...pictureid=1905 Separated at birth Really it's just the front that is similar. Vette is much more angular. I like both till we get to the backside. |

Re: Countdown to C7
I like it...cant wait for higher performance versions to surface. So far the Viper has my attention.

2000 psi is not all that high. Common rail Diesel engines today run with fuel rail pressures of 25,000 psi. |

I don't know of a corvette or other gasoline engine with 2000 psi. |
Re: Countdown to C7
Definitely has a few "sharp" angles like the Aztec.
I suppose I'll get use to it like a bad fitting tooth crown. Quote:

Three Years and this is what GM builds....
This is a freakin' joke. Did they have to glue on the side trim piece behind the front wheel that Cadillac had left over? Jeebus!
I've been trying to decide what my next project/toy would be...I really wanted to build a giant horsepower FRC, but I now think it will be a twin-turbo Ford 5.0.... I am so over Government Motors..... |
Re: Countdown to C7
All Corvettes and other cars are held together with alot of "GLUE"!!!!

Of all the sharp what they are calling "angular" pieces that just don't fit, it has to he the classic lover behind the front wheels. Gezzz Gross is the only term that comes to mind. Well, that and Aztec. |

Re: Countdown to C7
I'd like to see the C7 up close before it get's the fickle finger of fate.

Re: Countdown to C7
I too will wait til I see the C7 in the flesh before I pass judgement, I do like the silver and gray colors kinda makes it stealth looking. My daughter sent me this link last night:

Re: Countdown to C7
Here is yet another opinion about the C7.
Note the "angular" tail pipes at the end. http://jalopnik.com/5975819/heres-wh...er-than-the-c6 |
Re: Countdown to C7
That car is growing on me a little more.

Re: Countdown to C7
The C7 Stingray can be had with a starting price of $51,995.
The C7 is a cheap date compared to the LT5 powered 2nd iteration of the ZR-1. peace Hog |
Re: Countdown to C7
I really like the C7. IMO, it screams for a DOHC motor although I understand the arguments about weight, packaging, balance blah blah blah.
