one thing, the c6 z06 outperforms this, still no awd, those are some minor flaws, but oh well.
Corvette will NEVER be AWD. And it shouldn't be.

MAXX

Call me crazy, but I'd still take this beast over the Vette.

Aside from the tail lights, this Corvette seems great. 57% increase in chassis stiffness is huge and the lighter weight is a good thing. Curious to see what additions the ZR1 will get.

Round tail-lights would not flow with this new angular design.  The polygon shape was a good move IMO.

fuckme , this car is freaking amazing, gm has done this extremly well.

this is such a huge jump from the c6.

first american car i imediately fell in love at first sight.

450hp is weak, but good enough.

the interior makes the ferrair interior look like outdated shit.

fantastic car.

Note the 450 hp is only "estimated."  My guess is they don't want to give the real HP figure yet because it could hurt 2013 Corvette sales.  The Camaro ZL1 had 550 "estimated hp" and it came out at 580.  It's totally plausible that this will come in at 470 or so.

Edmonds is saying right around $54k.

Any price quotes are nothing more than estimates right now, GM hasn't given any dollar figures yet.

well, many ppl on corvette forums seem to want it atleast as option.

corvette gets smoked by many awd cars from the line.

irl with street tires, a porsche turbo will absolutely rape the corvette from a dig.

just saying.

True but how many street races start off of a complete stop?  Most are off of a roll.

Planning on getting this C7 as my first Corvette.

even from a roll, hard to get traction in a c6 z06.

was in one couple days ago, tires break loose slightly going from 2nd to 3rd.

entire 1st gear almost uncontrolable.


but manageable, from a roll, but from dead stop , you know upfront youre fucked.

some really stupid ricer cars like a slightly modded evo 7 will leave a c6 in the dust from a dig.its sad.
Sounds like it's time for driver mod.

450 hp for the base - imagine the big daddy will have close to 700.

Wait till it gets twin turbo'd or supercharged ha ha ha ha... aaah... even if i get a tiny 5.3 silverado l33 and slap a turbo on it in my track car it would make me happy and be super epic.. there's just SOMETHING about chevy small blocks and then some... and slapping a turbo or twin turbo or supercharger and you just start epically winning :)



Always considered doing an STS type turbo setup to keep dat der weight in the back too.





Ah.. since the c6 vettes have been just winning winning winning winning in my book :)

ok, benchmstr junior - think we've heard enough about your "track car."  post pics or zip it.

Wait till it gets twin turbo'd or supercharged ha ha ha ha... aaah... even if i get a tiny 5.3 silverado l33 and slap a turbo on it in my track car it would make me happy and be super epic.. there's just SOMETHING about chevy small blocks and then some... and slapping a turbo or twin turbo or supercharger and you just start epically winning :)
