Hopefully they made it better. There's a noticeable difference on upshifts with SRM on vs. off.

Despite the rear, like it. Rear actually looks a little better in these pics with the lower half in black. I could see this being a great track car for me once the used inventory shows up in 2-3 yrs

After a busy sunday with my wife, I had almost forgot that today is Vette revelation day. I jumped on here right now cuz I figured there would be first pics. I don't know what the specs are yet, and i'm hoping they will be very impressive. The interior is awesome and love the wraparound cockpit. It embodies what a Corvette cockpit should look like. Very high quality.

The exterior. As it stands right now... It looks like a "High Priced Rice-Mobile"... Not impressed. That style without a revision soon will wear thin fast. Too much garbage going on in the back. Too many contrasting carbon pieces everywhere making for a loud confusing look. If i were to purchase this car based on performance-ONLY... I would see BLACK as the color of choice to HIDE the ridiculous riceness of the body. NOT happy with the Taillights @ all. The taillights actually piss me off.

GM either gets the interior or the exterior right... They almost never get both. DISAPPOINTING!!
I will now go looking for specs...

All we know so far is 450hp/450lb-ft, sub 4.0 0-60, and 1+ G skidpad.

I couldn't convince my wife to buy a cheaply made, American made car. Even though, it looks to be very good value for the money.

There are many objective reviews by a trio from England on this model's previous incarnations. Will the new one meet the standard?

flame away

I like what they done to the interior and the engine sounds awesome. 450 lbs of torque on a lighter chassis??? DAMN... Excited to see this engine in the lighter iteration of the camaro in 2015.

Well, Chevrolet revealed the 2014 Corvette at 7pm tonight. They are bringing it back with the Stingray nameplate. What's your thoughts?? I think I'm in live with the car..ImageUploadedByTapatalk1358130406.875382.jpg

I kinda take offense to you assuming that the corvette is cheaply made cause its made in the USA.

That's like me assuming you have sh!tty teeth cause you're British.
