In an interview last year Tadge Juechter said that Chevy engineers are working on achieving 30 mpg on the highway for the 2016 model.

I'm not sure how this will be achieved but it does seem to preview some sort of change coming to the powertrain.

I'm first in line for the mid engine Zora edition ZR1 out in 2017. All other corvette platforms will be obsolete in 2017, don't waste your money. Once the mid engine platform is out you won't be able to give your old vette away (that includes the 2016).

At $159K~$200K there won't be a big line for that vapor ware. Doubt you will see a mid engine in 17.

My 2015 should deliver in about two weeks. I have my fingers crossed that the 2016 does not have anything to make me wish I'd waited for the new model. (Like another 40 HP or something.)

So is it confirmed that adrenaline red going away, or is the spice red an add?
If adrenaline red goes away, that may finish off any interest I had the C7. I have the darker red in my C6. I like the
bright red much better.
And some of you say the taillight issue is dead. It maybe dead, but that doesn't change the fact that the taillights do nothing positive for the looks of the car. And those of us that don't like them has as much right to say so.
