Big C7 fan here. This thread is getting long in the tooth. Where are the Z06 numbers or Stingray lap times. Come on........

Hold on, I just had granny put in a call in to Mark Reuss, we should get an answer, as to the times on the "Big Nasty".

FWIW, I do recall reading in one of the mags (I get at least half a dozen) that shorter product cycles will be the norm (yes, even for the Vette) going forward.

That's true, but five years is the new standard, not four, and GM has not addressed this in relation to the lifecycle of the Corvette

They often are... or have you so soon forgotten the years of predictions that the C7 would have a 5.3 V8 or a turbo V6 at launch?

No way Corvette gets a 5 year cycle unfortunately. Especially if it continues with the same C6 Rollout of models.

The C5 was the shortest cycle in almost 4 decades at 8 model years.

Not gonna happen.
El Fatso isn't even on a 5 year cycle. (Camaro)

Precisely what will be the life-cycle of the C7, I dunno.
But I would bet dollars-to-donuts it will be shorter than past gens.

Or it would be mid-engined?;)

Precisely

You're arguing against yourself, now... my point was that the car mags are notoriously bad with predictions and we ALL should know this well enough by now not to take anything they predict as reliable info

Sure, some things can be verified (like the union contracts showing Camaro production to the Alpha chassis plant for the 2016 model year, thereby giving us advance notice that the Camaro would move to the ATS' chassis for MY2016), but I take about half of their "leaks" with a grain of salt

Exactly

The fifth-gen Camaro will serve six years before its chassis change :thumbs:
