Hmmm...

my black 69 427 w/L88 hood doesn't quite look so antiquated as I expected.... the 2014 sure looks more euro, but not sure about the Camaro taillights. To me a Corvette has round taillights. Period. But I am sure the performance is outstanding. Glad they brought back the Stingray - the logo looks good.....

Are you kidding you guys. You actually think this is a hit. Performance wise maybe but looks not.

They are offering 2 styles of seats. These are the basic GT seats. The others are the performance seats.

There are two different seat option. Standard and sport. The red car has sport seats.

Incredible !!
Perfect color combo
Glad to see black rims finally, so sick of the ghetto chrome
Not sure about the rear window and vent window thing?
If I had $50k to splurge away I'd be ordering mine tomorrow!!

I love it. Yes, the rear will take some getting used to. However, the other features I love, and will fill my need. Need one.

I'm dissapointed that the official thread doesn't have any decent pictures of it, but from what I'm seeing I'm not very fond of it.

Disappointed in the interior more than anything, I think.

Exterior doesn't get me excited like I was hoping it would.

I'll still be looking at one in person to decide if I'm parting ways with my C6 though. Pictures won't sway me one way or the other. The Viper pics got me excited as hell though...just sayin

Someone will fab up a kit for the rear end that will sell like hotcakes.

Beautiful throughout, with the exception of the stylized Camaro rear end, but I guess it'll grow on me after a while.

What concerns me is the pricing. Below is from Motor Trend magazine.



If this is accurate, I think it's insane! All the C7 changes are desirable, but certainly not worth $10,000 more for a Base C7 over a Base C6 Coupe.

If this is true....correction, if even a $5,000 price hike is true, I'm very happy I ordered a 2013 GS.

Lots of comments on the design, IMHO paratrooper said it best. Haven't seen any comments on resurrecting the stingray name?

I really like it. All of it. The only thing I would change would be to get the a pillar painted body color (not the mirror triangle) as well as the vents.

It is way over the top.

Now tell us more about the C7 design studio that was held after the introduction of the car. I can't wait to hear more about the chassis and the MR suspension.

If they sell this for 50K they are going to need another shift in Bowling Green.
