you can download all the media stuff from another linked thread here - plenty of pictures and specifications but nothing you didn't already pick up from the dozen other threads and live reveal.

That was my guess the first few times that I tried. On the other hand lets give Chevrolet a round of applause. The C7 looks really cool, I LOVE the little stingray emblems on the fenders! I like that they are bringing back the Stingray theme as I really enjoy Stingrays. I have owned a few (both C2 and C3) and they are a lot of fun. I can't wait to get to see one in person. I was invited to the NCM which held a private unveil last week, I planned to go but I was just overloaded with things and it was just going to be too much. Glad that 01-13-13 FINALLY CAME! What do you think of the new C7?

Hmm. The reveal site directed me here. Tomorrow you say? SPOILER ALERT!!!
Nice vid there if you can wade through the hyperbole. They are proud of pulling it together in a tough economy and I agree. The release said 57% stiffer frame using much more aluminum, new seats (2 types, touring and track), DI, variable valve timing, cylinder shut down, 7speed tranny with automatic rev matching, more sophisticated suspension, improved cockpit and materials, carbon fiber on all models (roof and top), longer, wider, lighter (c. 60 lbs), venting system from front radiator (heat) over hood and on body panels (pressure I think), c. 450 hp and similar ft lbs of torque in base model. Heards nothing about special models. I really like the design but those rear lights will take some time to appreciate. No offense intended but they are very Camaroesque...too much for my taste. No pricing shared. Will see one this week at BJ in Snotsdale...er, Scotsdale. I already want one. My wife will not be happy.
Well, I just saw the link to the museum. My mistake. Sorry for being redundant...again but then it's been a while.

An available dual-mode active exhaust system offers a 27-percent improvement in airflow. It features two additional valves that open to a lower-restriction path through the mufflers. When open, these valves increase engine performance and produce a more powerful exhaust note
