Nice, hopefully we see some more pictures and info trickle in. We're less than 3 months from the reveal.

Cool, I love the font. If there are still people out there claiming the rear just doesn't "say" corvette, all I can tell em is learn to read

Also we learned the c7 will have a removable top. I haven't kept up with things lately so not sure if that's old news.

Aozora, Does this mean the frame has changed too?

A few quick things:

Keep an eye on http://www.one13thirteen.com/

Follow https://twitter.com/chevrolet for exclusive updates. Keep an eye out for #one13thirteen.

The 2014 C7 Corvette will debut the night before the opening of the North American International Auto show in Detroit on the evening of Sunday, January 13, 2013.

There are only two carryover parts from the C6 used in the C7 – the cabin air filter and the rear latch for the removable roof panel.”

Corvette Racing will campaign the C6.R for the 2013 ALMS season, as the C7.R is expected to make its racing debut in 2014.

Yes the front is awesome. What they did with the headlights is very cool. The rear I personally like.

It was inevitable the top would be removable.

Here is a picture of Corvette's Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter holding the C7 Corvette emblem following today's press conference at Road Atlanta.



I held the badge for about 2 seconds. It's very detailed and the edges are slightly tapered which should have a nice effect when mounted on the new car.

Will GM have a live internet stream of the public unveiling like SRT did for the Viper?

Looking at that website... It seems almost certain.

I'm not getting excited as there isn't anything really new. I mean, the logo is essentially the same and we knew the shape of it from the Omega mold.

This is the kind of countdown group of videos I was hoping for and they will be well done, no doubt. I still think they should have more of them and release a couple a month. Maybe there will be more info to 'fill in' with on Twitter and Facebook, so I guess I won't be seeing those as I don't do that stuff.

It nice to see GM jumping on board with teaser vids and building up excitement with small bits of info being released. The did a great job with this on the ZL1 and ATS, it's great to see it taken to an even high level with the Vette. It will be a fun few months.

Looks good! Can't wait for the 1-13 stuff. Videos being released in sequence about once every two weeks.

Anyone have any idea as to pricing yet? I assume close to the current model?
