Default C7 corvette

I am on my 6th Corvette with the 6th being a C6. Loved every one of them. From what I see and hear the rear of the C7 is going to look like the CAMARO? Are you kidding me! Please tell me NO!

Did you really have to create a thread on a topic that has been discussed over and over and over again, for the past year??

I thought about suggesting we combine all of the pissing and moaning into a single thread (Camaro lights, AFM, rear seat, taxes, general end of the world gloom and doom, etc.) but then the forum would just have one monster thread and nothing else.

Instead maybe we can take up a collection to pay a member to glean through all of the stuff and then paste the truly useful information into a locked but daily updated thread with the title.... Truly Useful Information about the C7

Wouldn't the simpliest solution be to ignore redundant posts?

It would be except you never know when/where a useful bit of info will appear and very few threads stay on the topic title for long (like this one).

As another poster noted the S/N ratio is pretty lousy However the underlying program is interesting enough that it is worth trying to pull it in through the noise and interference (like those spam movie postings that pop up at least once a day).

Until 1/13/13 there will continue to be a great imbalance between information supply and demand and that creates testy reactions from some of us, I admit to plenty of guilt on that front. I have been up since 2:30 finishing a project (writing, not fun stuff like mechanical work) so my mood is anything but holiday-like. My apologies to the original poster for my short/sarcastic comments.

Merry Christmas to you too.

Please don't create new threads and clutter this sub-forum up even more than it is already cluttered though...

Let me help you out here. If you don't like it when it comes out then don't buy one. I had 2 C3's and two C6's. I didn't like the C4 or C5 so I didn't buy one.

There's much more to a car then it's tail lights. No matter what they do there will be things on the car that some people don't like.
