Thoughts a day after seeing the new model: Overall, I like it. Not sold on the Camaro rear, but love the side profile. Has about the power bump I expected, and from the dyno they showed a month or two ago, the LT1 will have a sexy torque curve. Interior looks awesome too.

I guess the word on the final curb weight is a point of discussion with some of the Vette guys. Initial (read: apparently leaked from insiders) reports are that it'll be the same or heavier than the C6 coupe. I guess we'll see!

As a European, I have to say it looks good. Way better than the previous, even though you can see a lot of "Ferrari influence" in the red one IMO. Does it still have leave springs? Because that´s not very popular here haha! But judging from the pics, I really like it.

Yes, still have the transverse leaf springs still in there. I know they keep getting made fun of by you guys But really, lap times speak for themselves

This is definitely going to be my next car. I watched the reveal live and couldn't be happier with the direction they're taking the new generation Camaro. LT2 /w Z51 package. Yup. That settles it.

EDIT: Freudian slip! I meant corvette.

Huh? Is this sarcasm or am I missing something?

I don't like the Camaro tail lights on the Camaro that much, really don't like them here.

The front 3/4 profile does look good though, definitly looks Ferrarriesque, but that can't be bad right?

No sarcasm here. I'm being serious. I think it would be a good step-up from my current car (Mustang). Being 22, its realistic for me to afford this in the next couple years. Assuming my income remains the same.





Assuming I meet my financial goals this year (highly probable), I'll be able to afford this car much sooner.


By the way, at first glance I too thought the tails looked like a Camaro's. After further inspection I don't think they are anything like the current Camaro tail lights. The only thing in common between the two, is they both aren't round.

This won't hit the street until fall time, right?
I like it as well.

Late summer, perhaps? I expect some will make it to the annual Corvettes at Carlisle show in late August.



Leaf springs - yes, but much of the "plastic" (fiberglass) has been replaced by carbon fiber. And seriously, with the interior upgrades and addition of carbon fiber, if they invested in a new suspension for the base model, the price would cost closer to $80-90K. If I had to guess, the C7 Z06 version will have mid-500 HP and a better suspension; as a result, it'll cost ~ $100K.
