when the new bodystyle for the current g37 sedan came out, it had the carryover HR motor in it and the next year when the coupe came out, they renamed the sedan (and coupe) g37 b/c the new 3.7 was in it (and the Z).

I wouldn't be surprised if the new Q50 or whatever the g replacement is called gets a new powerplant options for '14 when the new coupe comes online and that should give us a good hint at what may be powering the Z35 which should debut around '15.

I sure hope so

I remember seeing on Corvette Forum a few years ago a video someone made where they rented a Hertz edition Vette and put nitrous on it and went to the drag strip, then took it off and returned it.

I also once met a guy at autocross who rented a miata every autocross weekend instead of using his own car.

From Avis, yes... From Hertz... NO!:tup:

The Chevy's are all shiftable on Tapshift which is fun. The Mustang no unless you get the 12 or 13, for rental, But Hertz has the exclusive Black and Gold Mustang Shelby GT, also a manual. They have manual corvettes as well. I haven't rented a manual Camaro yet but did the manual Corvette. I will rent the Shelby Gt500 one day? It's hard to get. You gotta reserve far ahead for it and there are no specials. pricey too... The 5.0, vette and camaro go on special all the time.

I've taken rentals to the track... I never put nitrous on them though. lol. thats crazy.:icon17:

Jay takes a look

First Look: 2014 Corvette Stingray - Jay Leno's Garage - YouTube

Love that interior. Very Driver Centric. First forward digital screen gauge I like out of many recent affordable car entries.

Fantastic. The red is so emotional which is probably why I will get it.

The hatch is awesome. Tons of space.

The behind nav storage is really trick. That's awesome!

looks like a great performance value, but still out of my price range. Hopefully, the next Z will be pretty nice

took some pictures at the car show in St. Louis. ZR1. Besides the zr1..i Didn't see the new one with the back lookin like the camero?

I feel like it will be if you take out the spare. but otherwise it looks similar to the Z in rear storage.

It looks like it's a bit more space than in the Z. Definitely enough to be a decent DD.

No, thats similar to the current corvette trunk. It has a lot of room back there. I've rented them. The vette is a bigger car than the Z inside and out.

So I had a thought this morning and idk if anyone has touched on it but any word on a launch control in the new vette?

^ I'm sure it will have it, at least in the automatics. It's 2013 for gosh sake and they are looking to compete on all levels.

They have Synchro Rev Match. why not?

I thought I read/heard somewhere that it did have launch control. Don't remember where though so I guess that doesn't help much :p

its has LC as a standard feature per the ordering guide

Thanks for the info. I may have to consider the vette even though I really want a new gtr bad

Vettes on the road... I think I'll take mine black!!! :driving:

:iagree:

Pittsburgh auto show is in 3 weeks too. i really hope they got a vette there i can actually see in person :excited:

It's funny, the more I see of them the more I am like "meh". The 370Z is still a better looking car IMO and Vettes are a dime a dozen around here.

I don't really care how many there are. The C7 is the total package.

on paper so far it seems legit. i still wanna see a review after someone tests it.

plus if top gear tests one and clarkson likes it the world may end :bowrofl:

also i cant help it but i have to post this and :stirthepot:

2014 Nissan GTR Vs. C7 Corvette Stingray, by the numbers - Product Reviews

According to Clarkson from last night's episode, the Corvette makes you 27% more attractive to your sister :rofl2:

well PA still isnt WV so i think i'm good :ugh2:

That's just stupid, wait till the Z06/ZR1 versions come out. Then it will be a more fair comparison IMO.

yes of course but still i find it amusing someone already started the debate between the two.

It wasn't a region specific comment :ugh2:

the so called journalist who wrote that.. needs shot.

To attract more people like you to their site :stirthepot:

:iagree:

technically it was a dig against all of the us coming from him lol

And people who have Corvettes in general. :p

Clarkson will probably like it and say it's because they made it less American and more European.
