Everything I've read from credible Corvette blogs and car magazines says the C7 will be 2014 model year. Yahoo says late 2012, so 2013 model. So until Yahoo cites a source on this, I'm calling bullshiat.

Personally, I like the idea of a high-revving turbo engine in a vette. Possibly a twin turbo in a ZO6 (unless they decide not to make anymore ZO6's). Possibly just a fixed roof coupe with track setup.

Dodge can put 600hp in the Challenger and it will still be a 4100lb brick with the handling characteristics of an Abrams tank.

I'll believe all the rumors about the C7 when I see something official from GM.

13 years is confusing either way. If they are combining the C5 & C6 as the same look then that is 15 years (1997-2012) ???? Great reliable info though!

No questioning allowed on ol' Mike's authority when it comes to Corvettes. That's for sure.
