Why, you wet blanket!? Speculation is part of what makes this forum fun. I'll bet GM is having a few good laughs at what us ignoramuses are gossiping up and down about, trying to make sense of the C7. At the same time, they might learn a few things from us as to what we really want from the C7 while they still can change a few things. So, don't be "over it"; speculate some more! I'll speculate a ZR1 with a 700 hp 5.5 twin turbo. I'm not willing to go as far to say with AWD, though.

This from the guy who posted that: "Spoke to a contact. Stated that this summer GM has invited a select few dealers to Vegas for a top secret unveiling of the C7. I'm sure they will confiscate any cell phones, etc. Maybe something will leak out (a bus boy, banquet server,etc)."

I'll speculate a C7 that represents a compelling evolution in exterior/interior design, and a ZR1 with rwhp that is second to none for a production sports car (at its release date ).
I think all this speculation; all the spy photos; all the renderings have been (and continue to be) fun...which is what I love about Corvettes. For me, it's all about having fun!

When is this thing in Las Vegas happening? I'm there now on vacation for a few. Maybe I could do some recon.

You've already missed it. It wasn't much anyhow. Dealerships were allowed only a few second to look at the side profile of the C7, aided by strobe lights. They were allowed more in-depth looks at the new Impala, SS, and GM full size trucks.

So we can look forward to not seeing another post from you here until mid-January? That sounds great. See you then!

If you cannot be civil perhaps this isn't the forum for you. On the other hand hostility and name calling will get you unwanted vacation.
