2014 Corvette Stingray
 

What do you think?

It's beautiful

GM is finally embracing technology more than normal.

Car looks like a Ferrari and Camaro had a ugly child...

Explain :)

-Alex

He fact that they are finally making more power out of smaller motors, instead of just increasing the CI. Lol

Love them. Hoping my dad decides to pick one up once they come out

I hate the way the ass end looks on them. It looks like they just couldn't figure out what to do and just put a modified camaro rear on it

From the front, awesome. From the rear, not so much a fan of the Camaro inspired tail lights. Technologically, it's a great car. Aesthetically, I'd still rather have a C5 FRC.

Looks great other than that hideous rear.

Tune only cars are showing amazing gains! 37hp and 39tq.

Direct injection is the problem right now as far as making big numbers. DI fuel pressure is 1600+psi so the problem becomes how to get more fuel into the engine. Adding bigger injectors is a thing of the past lol. I watch the MAzdaspeed 3 prety closely to see how they are dealing with it.

High pressure pump like the diesels.

I agree with the above posters. The rear end is ugly but the rest of the car is sharp.

Most are cam driven. Just a waitng game to see what happens.

Stock cars are in the 11s. Tune only cars running 11:47s.

-Alex

link for stock car in 11's?

gd times. I noticed he mentioned a Shelby I know the shelby traps about 8mph faster through the qtr then the times for the vette.

Oh snap.

-Alex

And people say you can't compare Corvettes to higher end cars? Uh, that's been happening since before I was born lol.

You know it's funny because when the C6 came out I thought that GM was trying to make the Vette look like a Ferrari, and then when I saw one in person and then later drove my friends 07 ZO6 I thought they looked great and performed even better. I think the new C7 Corvette looks great from front to back, but I will admit it looks a lot like the Camaro from the rear. Love my 5.0, but I hope to add the C7 as my next car in the next couple of years.

I've noticed Corvettes have had some similar design cues as Ferraris since the 80s. Seeing the new C7 in person has been a treat. There's a white coupe parked across the street from my job a lot. It has finally surpassed the design architecture from 1997. Not that the C6 wasn't a great car, it was just too similar to a C5. And finally the Corvette interior is extremely well appointed. GM really nailed it. Of course now you're going to pay for what you buy but, still far far cheaper that the competition.

-Alex

Anyone who says the car looks like a Camaro from the rear has never seen it in person. If you say that because of the tail lights you are wrong. They aren't even shaped anywhere close to the same and the lights are LED around the outside. The rear bumper itsself has no similarity to the Camaro either.

Personally I think they look good all the way around if you have certain colors on it. For example, the rear looks good in white and red. I like that they are taking design cues as far as reducing lift and drag on the car from Ferrari and some of the others, however, it still looks like a Corvette. The interior is by far the best thing they have ever done. Seats are a tad hard so long trips will suck, but other than that it is amazing.

merlinmol +1 to everything you said.

I have not sat in one yet so I don't know how comfortable the seats are. It's nice that they have seat options as well. Many have said that the base seats are very good for track duty so I don't know how much better the track seats will be.

I can't wait to see what a full bolt ons NA car will do since the autos with a tune only are in the mid 11s.

-Alex

I wonder how much the ne Zo6 and Zr1 will cost. 100k Plus?

I'm reserving judgement on the new Vette until I see some modded ones with different wheels, lowered etc. I'm not sure if I like it or not because I love the C6 so much. It's hard to improve on near perfection of the C6.

What I know I don't like is the price! $70k for a base Vette?! They are on some serious crack.

705 is the z51 price. dont know where you are looking base goes for 50ish

With markups right now, they are pretty crazy priced.

MSRP per Chevrolet.com.

-Alex

ADM's on all those cars right now. They are all the rage right now. But there is some amazing C6 deals out there right now. ;)

Base is $59k, but dealerships don't order base Vettes. Most new Vette owners are repeat buyers who order at the very least the 2LT packages which are going to be around $67K plus the ADM of $10-20k depending on the dealership.

Plenty of people are paying MSRP or just above it. Anyone that wants to give away $20 large is just a very generous person.

-Alex

Very true. Doesn't change the fact that if someone orders a bare-bones base car, that they can't get it at MSRP.

-Alex

you can get it at msrp, not that hard steve. can get a gt500 right now at msrp if i wanted...

Seriously I saw one for 10k over sticker!!!!:insane:

There's pics on corvetteforum showing $20k markup. I need to become friends with these super generous people.

-Alex

Chris on SVTP can help you get a few thousand under MSRP if one really wanted one.

Yea theyve been out for a bit now so the hype is gone. Im sure the Vettes will be the same in a yr or so.
