Probably could have stayed away till the end of the month and not missed much. Hopefully, there will be real news by that time.

I heard there is going to be a big bash at the NCM at the end of the month and GM is going to tell us everything we want to know about the C7. Only a week to wait for the big announcements.

JoeC5 has said clearly and irrefutably that all present data shows the LT1 has 453 hp...

JoeC5 won't commit to any higher number because the clear and present facts WILL NOT SUPPORT them..

JoeC5 a man with a vision.....could reach a viable estimate of 3 extra ponies...

That's the news.....

Bucket list item. Wanted to see the big dig.

The order form came out while I was away. That puts me in a read the Forum mode to see what is going on.

I am having a real problem picking colors. Maybe I will start a thread for recommendations.

My biggest surprise is the length of this thread. I should go back to OP and see what it is about.

Three extra ponies was all we could agree on....over the stated minimum 450 hp that GM gave us months ago..


You didn't miss a thing.


Sounds like a cool bucket list event.....

Good to have you back.

"We have met the enemy and they is us." One of my late Father's favorite quotes from the comic strip POGO.

Looks like you have nothing but problems ... you go ahead and start yet a thread where you forget why...

AND by the way... remember C3.... That model changed every year ... so will the the C7

( looking forward to seeing your genious comments on the upgraded C7... remember you call all that do not agree 100% with the current C7 design haters... ohh wait... you wrote that the first thing you would do is taking the C7 to your paint shop to alter the car )

when I "pulled your pants" and showed how your critism were lacking sense... you start again by getting into personal attack...

You know nothing of my senses... but may I suggest you look up the difference between Irony and sarcasm...

" unarmed" ... what a laugh - your lack of common sense have been displayed, and all you can do is getting personal... go back to you black hole!

A little levity here! Critism to you both is spelled criticism. And before you both start bashing me, I'm just joking!

Jeez, what's going on here?
Of course the C7 is going to be better than my C6.... I don't plan on blowing a gasket because somebody at GM spoke honestly about that.

So we now know the price but not the weight or hp.

Maybe this is a car you have to buy to see what's in it.
