Hot on the heels of the 1/13/13 unveiling of the 2014 C7 Corvette, Chevrolet has released a whole gallery of photos and renderings as well as preliminary specifications. Of primary interest is the fact that a Z51 chassis package will be offered on the car in the first model year, including larger slotted brake rotors, an additional inch of wheel width front and rear, and available Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

May be it is just me.
This just doesn't float my boat
GM has resurrected the camaro and now the stingray
in the hope of ?
it does not have the stingray appeal I am afraid
it might grow on me in 40 years or so

Yeah, I'm sorta underwhelmed by the C7, but I'm not really surprised. I think the Corvette "division" is stuck in a time warp -- probably from fear of failure.

IMO, if the Corvette is to have a future, the next one -- if any -- will need to be a radical redesign. Can you image a push rod powered new sportscar around 2024? (Come to think of it, she'll probably come with batteries   :eek: )

Anyway, let's see how the C7 sells.

I,m glad ive seen it now,  i was holding off getting a C6 ZO6,  thinking the C7 would make it look crap
I prefer those round tail lights,  every vette has always had them, 
The c7 looks like a comaro or one of them robot cars
Lost its sweeping curves,  too many sharp edges
Imagine the conversion costs on that dash,  crikey
Off to pick up my ZO6  definately now
