If you look at this photo (c7 in a Grand Sport shell), you will see that the wheel base has been extended, by a couple of inches.

Why? My guess is to allow more space for the the back seats.
I wish it does come w the back seats, I have two little ones 9 & 6 years old and there always a fight on who gets a ride first in my Grand Sport. A back seat would solve that problem.

C7 will not have back seats.

 

but what if it does

 

Just hoping. I have a 2012 F150 supercrew and the wheel base was extended since the last generation. The interior space is unbelievable. I cant even reach the fire wall w my foot.

 

I'm hoping to find a $100 bill on the sidewalk.

 

I have seen millionares drop hundred dollar bills when reaching for their cell phones, twice.

anything is possible

 

Which photo shows a guy holding the tape measure? I can't locate it.

 

No tape measure, but read somewhere the wheel base would b extended. if you look at the images it looks like the front wheel is almost rubbing the front of the fender.

 

Chevy already has the perfect solution for you. It's called the Camaro, and it looks just like the new C7!

 

Idiots...I swear...

 

This is a Corvette and not a Ford... Er a Supercrew F150 truck. The Corvette is based on racing heritage. The only reason to extend the wheel base several inches or more would be to accomodate a back seat at the expense of handling, weight and design.

Think about it! Longer wheelbase = additional weight. Then add the structure reinforcments needed to support the seatbelt mounting in compliance with DOT regulations = more weight. Then there are seats, belts and hardware. I'd bet it would add 10% (300#'s) more weight to the car.

They are not going to sacrafice the history of the corvette and its dynamics for people who want to give their kids a ride. People buy Corvettes because its one of the best performing sports cars available at its price point. They don't buy Corvettes to tote their kids around in. It's not an F150, BMW 6 series/M, Nissan or even a Porsche. The Vette will run rings around virtually any car in its price class on any track and Corvette will continue to deliver that performance generation after generation. A back seat will do absolutely nothing but compromise the very principles to which the Corvette was designed upon while alienating many customers who care more about weight and performance that a back seat. I have my SUV for toting the family and I have my vet for my Lobito. Back seat ain't going to happen so get used to driving that extended F150 or get a different car!


I can't wait for 1/13 so all this non sense is over with!

 

I can truly appreciate a great sense of humor like that.


Wait, you were in fact just kidding around with a post like that, correct?

 

No. Not anything is possible. For example 600,023 posts about a theoretically flawed back seat, do not fit into one thread. Apparently it takes 118 threads.

 

The only nonsense is the ugly *** rear end that looks like a camaro.

 

I don't think my kids would b fighting for a ride in the Camaro.

 

I think you be surprised about that one, a bright red Camaro SS convertible with a rumbling exhaust note...trust me kids LOVE that too (not as much as a Corvette maybe but still).

A little humor and truth at the same time.

 

The C6 has a longer wheel base than the C5. The C5 has a longer wheel base than the C4 (by 8 inches). Do you recall the back seats in either of those cars?

 

All this "back seat" talk makes me laugh. The Corvette will never ever have a back seat!
BTW....Has anyone over 5 feet tall ever sat in the back seat of a Mustang or Camaro?

 

If the Corvette gets a back seat, they won't be fighting for a ride in that either.

OMG, they've been planning this for twenty years! Two more generations ought to do it.
