A look back at the C7 Chevrolet Corvette as we get ready to say goodbye
The last front-engine Corvette.

I fully agree with both above. What a great tribute to the C7 and the end of the FE Corvette generations. Well done, Motor Trend!

Good read and a good recap of the C7. Hopefully the C8 will proudly carry on the tradition.

I just got mine last spring so its brand new to me. It is nice to have the last year of a true sports car. Looking forward to reading reviews of the C8 as they come in. Hopefully they decide to offer an M7

The C7 will be missed. It's a heck of a car for the money. RIP.
