C7 Revealed
 

They went for more modern design cues than I would have expected. Good job. I'd be tempted to buy one. . .

It almost like a Lotus.

Winning

Fanboi

The short hood relative to the back portion does make it look a bit like a Lotus. Overall, I think they did a great job. They went much further with "modernizing" the design than I thought they would.

The C7 is looking sexy. They have to be low balling the HP numbers, 450 seems a little low i would expect 470 with DI/VVT. but if they are shooting for over 30mpg then i can seem them cuting the power to make it.

A vett with 30mpg would kill the in its class

Man Im in love with the C7. Reminds me of a Ferrari 599xx, one of my fav all time Ferrari's.

I was just looking at the Car and Driver pics and thought the exact same thing. I love that 599xx, looks absolutely amazing in person.

It's an incredible engineering feat.

Hopefully this tanks the price of C5's

Depends... Could bring a bunch of attention and guys like you will go out in droves to get their retirement car early and of course with rising demand....

Hey look, you can almost drive one now without a mustache!

I like it! I do think that GM should just stop putting Mirrors on their performance vehicles though. You can't see what is behind you anyway with the tinny rear window and huge side blindspot. Just make the the side mirrors and rear view mirrors into video screens that show what is behind and on the side of you.

It's because the 90% clientele of 70 year olds driving them don't have strength enough to accelerate. They idle all 1100 miles a year they drive them. Only need a windshield for that.

ROFL no shit Justin. No vette has ever seen more than 2500 rpm. They should just toss in the 4 cylinder out if the Cruze and drop the price by 5k. Theyd prolly sell more and make it easier to meet the upcoming CAFE standards.

There are a lot of children talking Shit about old men having there vettes. I don't believe any of those children can actually drive a c5 much less a c7 to the limit. There are a lot of old men competing while you guys type on your keyboards. :suicide:

There's a lot of old men who drive the shit of Porsches too. It certainly doesn't mean there isn't a much larger number who don't, let's say, push them very hard or very often.

BTW, I believe the average age of a new Corvette buyer is 58. Hint, don't go by who you talk to on the fucking internet . . .

Added to OP as well.

Lol. Because we don't like your identifier we only type on keyboards? Got it.

That's still up there in age. I certainly don't fit the bill of old, but i'd sure love to rag on a c5 as my DD. Lord knows the 88 has been getting some use.

Kinda my point . . . :sm_up_there:

Front air damn needs to be way more aggressive to look good with those accents. Looks like a c6 with body work

*their
*these

I type well, wut... :suicide:

Corvettes, winning where mustangs don't
:huh:

Pretty snappy come back from a guy with 2 mustangs

FTFY

Exactly, more weight coming from a mustang owner who would take a vette over a stang anyday. And its not like my stangs are slouches either.

Why you want a forever alone car?
2 seats and bros before hoes.

Because my bros also drive vettes. So they roll in theres and I get 2 ladies in the passenger seat. Besides the back seat of a fox is for show anyhow.

C'mon Shawn! You know guy has a thing for cougars!

True. He likes those +60,s ladies

There is no question Corvette's perform well, but that doesn't change the fact that most are generally nothing more than "look at me" props for aging losers that have some spending money either before being broke again at retirement, or because they saved well for retirement.

Besides, why would you want a car that ages so poorly? The C4s have awful interiors that appear to have been made for a bad talking car TV show and the C5s now look like a kids Playmobile toy.

And they keep performing better and better. What truly confuses me, all jokes aside, is why? Their target demographic is clearly defined. 60+% purchase them above the age 50, and I know from experience there are 50+ yo's at the track but not nearly as much. It's few and far between.

As a marketing major I get that you must continue to improve and move forward or you are willing to take a step back. I get that. But why focus on making it faster when a vast majority do not push it to the limits? Why not spend budget on better materials for the interior? No one questions they perform, not even spiteful magazines, but the first thing they bag on is calling it plastic fantastic. I could stand behind the car so much more than I do if they made it a well rounded and complete car. I get that it's my opinion, but why? Why not step up the game where you are constantly hounded?

Ney, C5's are teh sexxors. Still my current vette favorite.
All brands, all makes have plenty of people that don't use them to potential. Mustangs even more so, since there are TONS more of them. It's my opinion that mustang owners are the biggest Douche bags of domestic autosports. I'd really put 75% of them at ricer level.

People want to buy supercar fast, not supercar quality.

I hear this often, and I just might be alone in this category. But I don't like to buy my speed always as any car can be made to perform, but not any car can be remodeled.
