427's selling like hot cakes.........C7 looks great until you get to the back. GM fell just a little short, still a beautiful car.

427's? Old car, old news, sitting on lots with $18,000 off MSRP!
Gm hit it perfect with the C7.

Hit it perfect? I do like some attributes, and need to see it in person, but calling it perfect is a bit of blind loyalty. If this was the new GTR, I am sure some that find it "perfect" would be criticizing the hell out of it.

The 427 verts were such an amazing marketing idea to send out the C-6 on!

Genius, Genius, Genius!!!

Hell, I'd buy a 13 427 SC652 and a 14 C-7 vert too, if I could!

Great Job G.M.!!!

The 427 will still be selling like hotcakes in the 2014 Camaro, for sure.

considering the car is many months away alot could change. If 450hp is the ball park figure it could be 505hp for all we know. It's tuning, even if they get it half way between it's going to be a fantastic car. I myself don't love the rear but I'm still going to buy the car.

GM played the C6-->C7 pretty well. The 427 & 60th anniversary was a special way to end the C6. Now sales will take off again with the C7.

"18k off MRSP" Why do you think I said selling like hot cakes....C7 looks great, key word "looks" but until they hit the streets there is nothing like riding in a 13 427 vert!!!!

I am not being argumentative, but if I could get say...$45K for my 2009 Z06, and needed to pony up another $15-$20K to get the C7 optioned the way I would want it, I am not sure I would do it. I would like the new technology and interior, but not 100% sold on the looks yet. Yet, being a strong word, I might love it in person. The first time I saw a c6Z on the road I fell in love with it. I hope I feel the same way about the C7.
