2012 model year
OK I'll ask. What say you the great forum guru's. What will be new for the upcoming model year? Color, horsepower, new accessories, upgrades, standard features included? What? What? What? I'll go mad waiting!

To late in the C6 run..engineering efforts geared towards C7. Minor tweets and maybe a few changes that may hint towards items that will show up on the C7. But radical changes -- no...they will not really add to the C6 parts bin and resulting update of repair info, inventory to maintain etc.Heck-I think many would be happy if the 2009 and 2010 Sema CG Accessories actually were produced and sold..... (GS and Jake parts).
Hmmm way back machine....last big 'tell' at the end of a model run...C1 in 1962 with the C2 rear styling.

Bold Prediction: The Z51 option will return for the base coupe.
You-heard-it-here-last: Caravaggio seats will be a dealer-installed optional accessory.

Question?
The worry of what the 2012 or 2013 is going to be. Is this a disease that worries the current corvette owner. Will I go crazy thinking I need to change and buy another or could I be worryless and enjoy what I have. What am I missing. I see so many threads on discussion about what the future holds. Will this bring value to the current vett we own or is this more of a curiosity thingy. If you were to ask me I would like a vett with more than the base HP for less money. tks

* And while a 10% hp boost in the last year of C4 might not seem like a lot, (330 vs. 300), who wouldn't mind having a 473 hp (vs. 430), or a 555 hp (vs. 505) as a "stock" engine?
