4 more years to enjoy my c6. Maybe 5 to make sure I get a second year model. Sounds good to me.

GM CEO Fritz Henderson confirmed first to AutoWeek that the C7 remained in the works, Corvette Nation collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Quoted from autoweek mag.

Somehow, I don't have much confidence in either the OP or the link. Too many inconsistencies.

OP, bring your story back again when you have more credible information that someone can read.

I know, take it to the C7 forum.

Lol, people are butt hurt that somebody is trying to share information from research on the internet.

He never said you had to beleive it, or try the link, or bother him about it.

Time frame makes sense. I just hope the c7 stays with big displacement.

I think the OP could care less whether or not you have confidence in him.
