Corvette Reveal

Talk2meg00se · 01-13-2013, 09:27 PM

love or hate the looks (i personally love what i've seen thus far), you have to admit that at 3000lb and 450hp / 400 lb. of torque, that thing is going to be fast

the ZR1 is going to be scary

Thebigbus · 01-13-2013, 09:29 PM

I'm kinda mixed on that design...

But I agree, it will be a beast and a blast to drive.

Sheesh...the C6 Z06 was a monster! I do really like that...might consider buying one.

AshyLarryMP · 01-13-2013, 09:36 PM

Aggressive styling. It's too much for my taste, but it looks like one of the fastest cars in America.

FogCityM3 · 01-13-2013, 09:41 PM

Looks way too busy; the Car & Driver renders from 1-2 months ago looked much cleaner/better.

1MOREMOD · 01-13-2013, 09:46 PM

im gonna say i like the c6 better for now but i reserve the right to change my mind once i see one in person.

jqsmooth · 01-13-2013, 09:48 PM

just one question, how much?

ZR1 apparently is going to be 600hp (+)

I would say much less than the GTR with a base price no more than 60k. The market can't bear much more than that without alienating a large customer base.

chuck617 · 01-13-2013, 11:29 PM

I have never liked the looks of Corvettes but I am liking this one. The front made me think of the Ferrari 458

Prince_of_Persia · 01-14-2013, 02:33 AM

Wow, this thing looks really good!!!

Brucewonder · 01-14-2013, 03:24 AM

i love everything about it but the taillights...shoulda kept it ROUND

The back end is still too slab-sided to be attractive, but overall this is a good looking car. Way to go Chevy. You needed this.

Hurtful

. We do dress up when we go out at night, you know.

Sorry, four side by side exhaust tips is like wearing TWO karge gold chains.

Overspooled · 01-14-2013, 09:22 AM

Front end is very similar to the vipers

Isn't a stock C6 only around $50,000 MSRP? I doubt they will go up that much in price for a standard C7. Maybe 60k? Still less than a new M3/M4 probably. Z06 may be near a stock GT-R in price.

What does the IS-F exhaust get you?

Just wondering cause I always hated that exhaust.

DiavelM3 · 01-14-2013, 09:33 AM

Hmm, I think the front end (headlights, grill and daytime running lights) look a lot like the '13 SRT Viper and the rear end looks like a Camaro.
meh
