C7 Corvette Thread
 
Being as every day there are more stories and pictures of it I thought we should have a thread. Today Motor Trend got what looks to be the best pics yet. They even got a few interior shots and what looks to be some sweet new seats. Check it out...

I know there is still not a lot of information or pictures, but what do you guys think of the c7 so far?

LTb1ow 09-19-2012 04:59 PM

Prob fast, prob handles great, prob more than i can afford, and prob will be owned by a rich douch wo never pushes it.

Corvette forum members were slamming the new designs..stating too foreign (far east) looking. Seats are cool, but just remind me of lfa type design and the front of those pics looks a bit aston martin...hard to tell w/the wrap on it but appears to be less shapely overr front fenders and side than its predecessor....i hope they dont f' it up.

To this day I still think the C5 FRC/Z06 is the best looking Vette ever made...

sweetbmxrider 09-19-2012 06:53 PM

c6 trumps c5 and this thing will probably look dope but it kinda looks catfish so that's lame.

Blackbirdws6 09-19-2012 07:20 PM

Seats are looking good and I'm happy they finally fill in the center exhaust area with all tips. Always kind of bothered me how there was a gap between the two pairs of tips. Looks like they may have some creative aero somewhere on the top of the rear fenders. I'm sure it will be a killer car.

Great looking car but not even close to the best looking vette! C2 coupe or convertible are the best looking vettes...period!

False, C6Z>FRC/C5Z. A vette looks so good with wider fenders.

I love the C6Z too but IMO it is too "big" (if that makes sense). The C5Z looks smaller and more nimble. Throw some L5 fender flares and one of those wrap around lip spoilers on and it is perfect. One day I will own one and those will be my first 2 mods...

I think it looks interesting the C7. I am a C5 guy but damn, the C6 ZR1 looks insane!!

1320B4U 09-20-2012 11:02 AM

Jalopnik took drawing renderings and constructed what they think it will look like (base c7)...very ferrari 2+2 from the side...definately more of a european flair to it.

Slow-V6 09-20-2012 11:13 AM

After seeing that, I dont think I like so much. Hopefully it will change a bit before they actually build the production model.

BurninrubberGT 09-20-2012 12:30 PM

if the renderings are right, its going to be ugly

redsoxsstink 09-20-2012 08:00 PM

definantly not a fan of the blatantly obvious european styling... they call them american cars for a reason, bc they are like no others. with the c6 we built it and beat em now with the c7 we are looking to be them

B4C 09-21-2012 12:20 AM

at least it doesn't look like this

interestingly different

The only thing that would make me even remotely interested is if those vents in the car cover on the back hatch is to allow the engine heat to escape because they finally decided to step into the 21st century, and put the engine int he rear...................which is not the case.

This is america, if its not agile enough, add more horsepower. rear mount engine, teh lulz.

:lol:

We (gm) don't have a good track record like ford for rear mounted engine setups....fiero, corvair.....fail.





...here comes the part where fiero lovers come to bash.

I don't know what you are talking about but Corvairs are great cars!

madness410 09-21-2012 07:10 PM

i cant really tell what the car looks like...there appears to be some sort of cover over it.

NastyEllEssWon 09-21-2012 10:05 PM

no corvettes after the 5th generation will be able to match the classy and badassy looks of the c5 z06. all hail the king.

8hnpSS 09-22-2012 08:03 AM

from all the other concepts / predictions ive seen thats not half bad. not a fan of the grille tho it looks fishy
