I'm with you, man... it's already an incredible car for the money and no doubt they are looking to dethrone the GTR... that's why the styling part kills me... otherwise I think I'd jump ship... I'm going to reserve further judgment until we see the final pics - this feedback has been pretty heavy/universal on the net and hopefully the boys in Detroit are listening and sneak in some final changes.

From what I have heard 911 appears to be target and I think they will do it. Sounds like they are focused on making it a very balanced drivers car. I think only disappointing thing is entry I price for vette is going up.

Needs more "speed holes"

6MT · 12-31-2012, 11:29 AM

The back of that thing looks too Camero'ish.

m4a1mustang · 12-31-2012, 01:20 PM

I'm extremely excited about this car.

I see one in my future unless they do something really stupid.

That's what I'm thinking.

Still going to check out the new 5.0 when it comes out. It would certainly be a better choice for DD should I decide to hold on to the S and turn it into a race car. If I don't... C7 + 5.0 for less than an optioned 911...

5.0 + C7 sounds like a reasonable combo to me. I just won't drive from December til march.

On one hand, those pics look like the vette needs to be further smoothed out. On the other, it's very aggressive looking and I like it. Some features on the side body are overkill. The rear window is nice but can be smoothed out some. Can't wait to see in person. Sometimes it's hard to tell from pics how nice a car really is.

I know this is a leak, but I refuse to believe it is real. Chevy has done a lot of dumb things, but messing with the Corvette isn't one of them.

Waiting to see the real deal rear.
