That is one sexy car. Perhaps in 10 years I'll own one because by that time the price will have come down.

Yep, this is similar to Jalopnik renderings with a few subtle differences.

that is too much. If it is as the picture shows--they will not sell many.

It needs a quick-shift to be a GT-R killer.

I hope it does sell well for them. That means GM will continue producing more Corvettes. Hopefully a ZR1 with twin turbos and AWD.

Wow didnt think Id like any C7, but this one changed my mind.

The front splitter is aggressive in a way that I like; almost looks like the front of this car:



Now if theyd just make it without a luxury interior

And yes I understand why some would say its too much for the street. But if you have to pick between form and function on a car built for going fast, which would you want?

Not bad, not bad at all, a lot of discussion over in the C7 section. The back end looks better than the base car, but it is still lacking. I wonder how many of us will move over to the C7 Z06?

Now we know where GM got the OTHER HALF of their European inspiration from.

Ferrari / Peugeot.

FRont splitter is pretty odd looking. Don't like that they did not do a real wider front bumper and are reusing the base C7 piece.

Looks like an automatic :<(

We'll find out tomorrow, and probably a steep price.

The paddles are on all C7's if I recall correctly - either for shifting on the autos or turning on or off the rev matching on the manuals.

But the gear shift lever is an auto stick and shift slot, not a manual.

Looks like a manual lever to me.

Seats also look like buick seats - again. This car is geared so aggressively toward performance, yet camaros still get the more supportive furniture.

Car looks aggressive though

I read somewhere that it would be offered with an 8 speed auto or 7 speed manual.

Paddle shifters are every where in the world of cars. European cars don't offer manual shifters, its only an American and Australia market. Paddle shifters offer faster shifting. It is the wave of the future.

The days of the stick shift are numbered.
