Ehh whats wrong with being a KJ??? This KJ loves the C7, and can't wait to see it in person. I'll wait a few years for the performance model to arrive though. Still keeping my C6 forever........

All of you that have deep pockets hurry up and get you one so you can drive down the price on the C6... I got my eyes on a low mileage 2012 Z06.. It looks good but I am really disappointed after all the pre-release C7's I've seen.

The Camaro rear ruins the whole car. It will be much cheaper to do a nose job on a camaro than this Vette will cost. Also, you will see less of them than previous models. They have outpriced their market. A computer mans nightmare.......

Can't wait to rollup to the Chevy dealer in my C5 and ask for a C7 test drive. September can't come quick enough!

At first not sure about the rear lights. Now who cares about those rears lights, the car is hot. I'll take a coupe after two convertibles.

Personally, I'd go for the Z06. It's your last opportunity to get a Corvette with the Duntov inspired 427. From what I understand, there will be no more.

Ok, so the C7 is dropping the value of the Z06s..I figure, in a few years, the value should stabilize and start going back up. Strictly my opinion, of course. And, the first two years of the C7 will, no doubt, have teething problems. The 2012 Z06 has had 6-7 years of bug fixes and steady improvements. 2011 was the big year for many of those improvements. It's probably THE best version of this car you can get, imho.

Don't like the black bottom, hope they make it an option to get in body color, make it look alot better. Look like the car cut in half in back. Black bottom looks good on the c6 since it only a small section, not like half the back end.

Well they did change a lot of things up, and it does have nice lines, but those damn tail lights! Why? It might grow on me, and maybe in a few years I might have one sitting next to my 700hp Z, but only time will tell.

C7 Sting Ray , bull **** !

We all know which were the Sting Rays (Stingrays C2 & C3) and it sure is not the C7. They went to the Camaro parts bin for the tail lights and the Wind tunnel for design.

I , personally , am disappointed in the car . In my mind , Detroit came with the HYPE more than the promise .

I have had 3 C5's and the C6 have barely grown on me. I saw the 14 for the first time tonight and it is truely crazy. I am in car love with this thing. It has a little bit of flavor from a wide range. Well done.....
