Excellent articles in this month's issue of the Winding Road magazine on the next generation of Corvettes. Has anyone seen it, if so what are your thoughts about it. You can check it out online as well.

Default C7 design forum

I've been thinking that maybe we should start a forum on what we would like to see in the new C7, sort of how the article on Winding Road suggest. Instead of sending a letter we could do it here together and perhaps help Chevy out!

I wouldn't want the competition to get any good ideas from us though.

There have already been 2 threads here lately on what folks want in the C7. I think each thread had about 2 or 3 posts.

If you are that concerned about the possibility of being dead tomorrow, then what are you doing in here?

Get out and drive.

Not sure why one cannot enjoy what they have now while still being interested in what's coming down the road. That is kind of what being a car enthusiast is about (in one way) and why people come to these forums.

It looks like the offspring between a Lambo and a C6. No originality in the design.
