I dont have a hate for this new car at all. I just dont understand why this 427 is limited to the Convertible and no Coupe with an Automatic tranny is available. Just more of Chevrolet being Chevrolet...

Because no one wants the coupe anymore?

Definitely should've come with an Auto though.

I hate it. Now I am considering getting one when previously I was going to wait out the C7.

This vert is going to fade fast as soon as the C7 comes out, but I do like it.

I think it's too little, too late. They seriously should have offered this in 07 with the 6L80E.

The only thing I hate about it is.... that I won't be able to afford it! I think it's great that they are coming out with a 427 Convertible.

POrsche does it - everyone does it - why should Corvette be any different? I don't get it - Its as if Z06 guys feel inferior about the ZR1 existing and the fact that the "look" is shared with a less powerful variant...Corvette is still a Corvette LOL
