Here it is! New C7 Corvette!!

[Hallowed_point]

Guess I'm eating crow now after seeing the car in the flesh (well real pictures at least as opposed to the concept drawings!!)

I think it looks wicked :drool: It looks very exotic and (imo) it has much more neck snapping potential compared to the C5/C6 after seeing those pictures.

Typical domestic big power plants without the usual list of complaints that come along with it (cheap interiors etc.) Exotic looks blended with domestic serviceability = heaven in my books! I'm excited to see one in person now.

I do agree they look a little different being all in 1 location though.

Yeah sorry Should have clarified. I meant just a row of 4, now 2x2. They look a little too big as well. But overall I still love the look

:eek: Love it!

Rev match tranny, optional 'racing' seats, 100lbs lighter, carbon fiber roof & hood way to go chevy, way to go.

If that's true, then base Corvette in Canada is going to be $70k. I think I rather buy another car for the price.

Even if it does start at 70K MSRP in Canada (which I doubt) it will destroy anything else at that price point around a track.

Yeah, who knows on pricing. I know the vette right now is 60k Canada + 3000 off delivery allowance.

I'm sure you could get into one of these new badboys after the initial fanboy stage for 60-65k. That's a great deal.

i reserve all comments until i see it in person, probably just bad pics but the shape seems very odd

[Masked Bandit]

I wonder if they'll have one of these and / or the new Silverado at the Calgary car show this year?

[Mibz]

I posted on Facebook earlier, but whatever your opinion of the C7 is, good or bad, it looks a lot better in person and in the right colour. The front and sides are fantastic from almost any angle. The exhaust is the only thing I still don't like, but I'm sure you could quite easily replace the quad pipes with a couple rectangular tips that would suit it nicely.

I wish! I doubt we'll even get to see the Silverado much less a C7

I think they did a decent job with it. but if you look closer, those seats are almost the exact same as the older generation corvette. steering wheel looks cheap.

edit... the rims are horrid. and that side vent looks completely outta place with the rest of the car.

To be honest I like the older generation better. and when i compare this car with a 427, it aint even close, in my mind. I think the 427 is an instant classic. too many weird lines everywhere with the c7. the c6 427 is so much cleaner, smoother, classier. I dunno maybe its just me

The C7, I don't think, owns the new viper regarding looks. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Here's some comparisons:

Here is how I would want the rear to look. (quick photoshop)

[JustinMCS]

Also, I see that the corvette and viper have very similar interiors and headlights/front fascia.

[b_t]

love it, 5 out of 5, nicest car to come out of Detroit since Cadillac first unveiled their new styling like a decade+ ago. not crazy about the taillights, I think the Corvette 4 round lights would look absolutely killer on dat ass, but whatever still nice as-is.

absolutely gorgeous. and shifting a 7 speed manual would probably be a lot of fun. I must have one.

[ZorroAMG]

LOL at the interior...still. I don't think we'll ever see a corvette interior that doesn't look like a '94 cavalier.

[phreezee]

Here's your first chance to drive the new C7 :burnout:

I like what you did with the exhaust but IMO the tail lights now make it look even less like a vette. But good job none the less.

[rage2]

Looks so awesome in Grey. :drool:

^^^Nice writeup, I love the grey. :thumbsup:

[94boosted]

Thanks Rage :thumbsup:

Definitely looks better in grey.

Nice to see that they switched those useless Goodyear Supercar tires for Michelin Pilot Super Sports, that was the first upgrade I did on my Grand Sport a month after I got it lol.

[flipstah]

For me, the Viper is more of an homage, stick to tradition car while the Corvette is a bold statement, new design car.

I think the the Viper's interior is more liveable and will age better.

The more I look at this thing the more I love it!

Exterior is amazing, but that interior is brutal(especially since they are going to be asking for more for the base model).

First thing I thought of when I seen the new dash....My first Vette was a 94 with a red interior just like the show car, the centre console is nearly identical! I think it will look much better in person...

[94boosted]

More shots of interior as well as engine bay.

WUT? Do you even know what the base price of a 911 Turbo is? Z06 2013 base = $75k + 20% = $90k. 911 Turbo base = $156k.

I must say that this car appeals to me more than a 911 Turbo, and I do NOT like Vettes all that much. Kudos to GM for thinking outside the box.
