C7 Corvette

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Wow, looks pretty damn good in person, better than pics.  Couldn't sit in it or get too close, but interior really does look to be a big upgrade, and also looks better than the pics.

so are you going to trade the C6 in on one?

I plan to replace the C6 around the end of this year, the C7 and 991 are pretty much the only contenders.

I was surprised how much I like the C7 in person, given how lukewarm I was on the pictures. It's excellent ... I went back to it 3-4 times throughout the day. There's still a few things I'd have done differently (the hood vent, the taillight treatment) but the overall lines of the car are perfect.  Also, they had a red one in addition to the gray on display, the red looks great in person (as did the gray, but I think my concerns that it would only look good in gray or black have been alleviated).

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Sounds good. I'll get to see one in person next month. I will own one but i just can't buy one new (just got a new house). In 2-3 years I'll pick one up. I'm still thinking about getting another C6 until I purchase a C7.

Damn this looks excellent.  I always thought I'd not buy another Corvette (because I plan now on keeping mine forever and would not rather own two similar cars), but this is making me waver on that.

This is the best "Update" since 1984! I even like the sting ray shaped tail lights!

At the NAIAS in Detroit today, the buzz was that of a far, far more favorable response from younger, non-Chevy types compared to current Corvette and even Camaro owners. Many people were saying that the '14 'Vette looks much like the former Dodge Viper, new MY13 SRT Viper or an Italian sports car -- in the most complimentary ways. As I have been saying for years, a car like this one that you either love or hate -- the 2014-MY Corvette Stingray, not unlike the exotics evoke a deep passion. Sixty years of passion in many ways for GM loyalists. No one at the Chevrolet stand at the show seemed to have a ho-hum attitude about it.

Too bad the Utah show was this weekend, one week isn't enough time for them to display one of these. I'll have to figure out a way to see a new one soon.

Maybe when I drive back to KY in May I can stop by Bowling Green and watch 'em crank out some of the new ones.

[GoCougs]

This car does look great. If I was in the mood for a two-car household this would be a definite contender.

Uh-oh, you're turning into a 'Vette-only man!  Perfect for Florida

[BENZ BOY15]

For some reason, it looks kinda Ferrari-ish.

But I love it.

[BENZ BOY15]

Interior doesn't look bad, but did they actually go with an electric parking brake?!

God damn that sucks.

Why is it so bad?

I guess the only reason I wouldn't like it is because I'd be afraid it'd break. And I LOVE the new Corvette! If I were out shopping for a car...I'd buy one.

Pricing? When does the convertible come out?

Fuck, it does look good in that blue though...

[Cookie Monster]

Someone already crashed one?

[Lebowski]

That looks good in blue ... I always sorta regretted not getting my C6 is lemans blue.

That's the most saut after color for ZO6s.

[MrH]

The previous blue I've seen looks lighter though.

In that picture above, it looks almost dead on to my Subaru World Rally Blue that I   Blue and black are hands down the best color on these.  I saw the gray in person and it wasn't bad, but wouldn't be my pick.

*sought

[S204STi]

That color is great; too bad about the panel gap and the scratches from the factory though.

[68_427]

Thanks.  I've been brain farting all day.

I'm taking a break from getting my ass kicked by a transmission replacement.  I don't usually do these because of the lack of a hoist and tranny jack, but this is sort of a charity job, so...  I feel a bit retarded at the moment.

[Payman]

Fuck, even wrecked it looks fantastic.

I can get 20%   off anything at harbour freight...

[68_427]

Also you can order through your dealer body color vents and shit.

[MrH]

Really?  Any links?  That's some interesting news.  Would be a huge improvement on some colors like red.

[Lebowski]

Ordered as factory option or some chintzy dealer add on shit?

[Payman]

Caveat: you have to order a black car.

That would have been useful an hour ago.

Or dark gray
