C7 Handling
Is it possible the only area left for GM to address on the C7 is the way it handles the roads it is driven on? Imagine a car like this that corners like it is on rails as the line goes! I'm betting they address this next. The only other thing would the seats.

thanks for the laughs...the c7 has its own section. You might be better off discussing the new C7 there..and we agree...the C7 hopefully will get better seats than the c6..
No more having to cinch the seat belt to hold you tightly in place when on the track or ...

Of course the c6 handles great.....thats why this OP is funny...the seats could use a revamp though...
Of course cinching the seat belt holds you in nice and tight for the 1 lateral g handling the vette can achieve...it would be nice if the seats were better bolstered..

To the OP:
C5 and C6 Vettes already handle like they are on rails. Ultimate roadholding is determined mostly by tire compound. I reguarly pull .8-.9Gs in my base car with worn base tires.
If they plan to shave some weight that would help, but even then, they may just end up back where the C6 started. If the motor is in the front, then don't expect any substantial dynamic improvement.
