I like smaller powerful shapes. The car is going to be great but too big for me. Price wise I can get a 2009 or 2010 911.

One thing I didnt like about either Vette I had mid and late 90's was the size after sometime of owning. Either way they did make a newer Vette. Im sure it will sell well.

The Corvette is nearly identical in size to the 911. Length and width are the same. But if anything, it certainly looks lower than any 911 could.

Autoblog said it is longer than a 911 and no change in overall length. The article also said it was originally thought to be below 3000lbs. It will not be. Nice car still of course.
Edit - Just did a bit more looking and its only .2 longer in overall length than the current 911. Certainly not a big deal!


--And although GM has yet to release the car's weight (we only know it won't be under 3,000 pounds as previously rumored),--

I'm betting about 3125. But with lower CG. We know motor weighs more but frame is 100 lbs lighter, lighter hood and roof, lighter seats, lighter suspension. It's likely very close to Zo6 with carbon fiber hood option.
