That vent is a little scary ...We have seen it before with Jalopnik

What? Because I point out that the front fender vents look like a GTR and that "stingray" looks tacky? If thats pissing on everyones parade, then you're a sensative little man.

...i was worried about this. I am confident that the high performance model will have larger, more pronounced vents. I am definetly not feeling these however.

Paul, I was all over that line too.. Now I have concluded that line is the width of the vent detail and the Stingray is on the fender, not the door

Headlights function similar to caddy ....

A lot of effort to cool brakes and lots of ducts for that purpose.

Base model horsepower and curb weight? Million dollar questions!

It is also shaped a little different. However, still WAY too GT-R like IMO
Paul, Stingray is on fender, we are not seeing the door gap

Thanks Keeks.

Quick question, what is the relationship of the LT4 and Corvettes?

You mention its an upgrade on the ZL1, but is it safe to assume its for an up model Corvette as well?

Any idea on power? The current LSA on the ZL1 makes 580 and if the LT4 is supposed to be an upgrade. It'd have to be north of 600...

Perhaps this is the ZR1 motor? Any word on displacement for either of these motors? 5.5L? 6.2L?

I take it that the C7 will stream music wirelessly and will have apps on the touchscreen?

John, I see it now. You are definetly right. I deleted my post.

I was not expecting the vent to be a BOLT on piece (therefore creating that line I was confusing as the door gap) I really hope it looks good in person because that is a huge disappointment for me.

Those fender vents that we are all not liking are really very small in reality. I think they may be more subtle than what is on the Grand Sport now.

Yeah, the pictures have shown a noticeably narrower tire on the mules.

I expect the base model with an LT1 will have narrower tires than the 285s and 325/335s mentioned in this post.

I expect the 285s and 325/335s mentioned in this post to be on the LT4 equipped car, possibly the ZR1 model.

Thanks Keeks... that is very interesting. So just to put two and two together...

2014 = Base w/ LT1
2015 = ???? w/ LT4?
2016 = A third 'hotrod' model?

Is the LT4 not going in the 2016 hotrod model? Or is there something badder than the LT4 going into the 'hotrod'?
