Agree'd. NO win for me. I had 2 Vette's. Any word on the suspension?
The interior is still weak, busy and a Vette. I was hoping for something better. Im sure it will be fast and fun. I wont buy it. Too Camaro from the back and for no reason. The Camaro is not the flagship performance vehicle and should not be referenced here on the Vette. Too bad.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan but it's not bad IMO.

I like it! Sarah and I are going to the show on Saturday. I'll take some pics

m4a1mustang · 01-13-2013, 07:26 PM

The more I look the more it seems the proper package would be:

Z51 (to get the Brembo brakes)
Magneto ride control
Sport Comp seats
Nav

Steve,
I'm pretty sure they all have brembo brakes, just that the Z51 has larger rotors. Being that the main focus of my powdercoating business is corvette brakes, that was something I was very interested in and read about everywhere I could last night.

That being said, there is so much other goodness in the Z51 package that its a must have.
Oil, diff and trans coolers
dry sump,
etc.

That's great to know!

I definitely think I'd spring for the Z51 just to have those features. Will the magnetic shocks only be available on the Z51 or will it be an option on the base?

I've read the Z51 starts you off with Bilsteins, but you can add the magnetics as an option. Hopefully they make the magnetic an option for the base car too.

Why would they not make magnetic an option for base? The C6 has that option

C&d claims you have to get z51. We will have to wait and see.

yea but if you bump up to a better version of the vette with options you're closing in on what i can get a 2013 GT-R brand new for too.
