The new corvette is a very cool car but i think the SRT Viper looks much better and id rather have it.
The kid just needs to quit trying to get acknowledgement from the world about Corvettes. There are others that read CB that are mature and more knowledgable about Corvettes and do own ZR1s themselves who would laugh at his "fanboy" comments ;)
That's the way Colby rolls. Walks in, reads comments, slings shit at anyone who's called him out in the past or said anything remotely negative about his precious corvettes. Rebuttals only consist of more severe name calling and other irrelevant bs
Colby, no rebuttals? Man, isn't that a shame. Respect other people's opinion without attacking them in such a negative tone. Either way, C7 or Viper, does it f*cking matter? Both are fast, but you definitely won't be buying neither one anytime soon.
The words 'Subjective' and 'Opinions' are irrelevant to some unless it is of their own.
Why are you people talking about a viper if the v6 is good then people might be able to afford it
@Colby How can you call him a liar! I too think the viper is sleeker and more aggressive looking!
Lol, Curtis you're a liar. Wherever the C7 goes, it gets plenty of attention. And having seen both also, I prefer the Corvette much more than the Viper. The Vette looks much cleaner and meaner.
Yea and the viper still lost against the ZR1 a few weeks ago. Corvette will always be better than viper.
I saw both the viper and stingray at the autoshow, and the viper is soooooo much better looking. It was one of the stars and nobody really talked about the corvette because the viper shined brighter
David, yeah but still a bit similar. To the Viper and also even the Agera's headlights.
Description: Instead, it’ll likely have a version of the all-aluminum direct-injection 5.3-liter V8 that’s currently being used in GM’s lineup of new pickups, only now it’ll be re-engineered to produce a little le...

Under a displacement of 5.0L, some what of an larger BRZ or s2000 type car but comparable performance to a mustang GT without that big bulky broad shoulder mustang and camaro look
@AJ with the turbos, you can increase your torque than a V8 with the same horsepower rating. I just wish Chevy did a sports car with corvette basis (FR set up, lighter sportier) but smaller, more affordable, less gadgets, and a smaller block V8
it will be fast no doubt. if it looks anywhere near as good as the stingray, it'll be sweet
If they are going to put a completely different engine and front end on the vette why not just make it a different car with the same stuff but we will see how it turns out
Some other companies 2 seater sporty cars, it's something GM needs in their line up but I don't think it should be a vette it should be a completely different car, GM is wasting money and dumming down the corvette their iconic car
Mike relax Colby was actually giving some insightful info and this is an article about the corvette so telling him to stop talking about the vette makes no sense. I think that this base vette is a good and bad idea because this could compete with...
So i had an idea. Idk why but i just thought of the Spada Codatronca. Imagine if chevy were to make a shooting brake of the corvette, like a ferrari ff competitor. It would be weird but interesting, thats for sure
Reserve your negative comments until you see what actually unfolds. And btw, my Corvette had 350 horsepower stock and it was very fast, this wouldn't be any different. We will have to wait and see what goes on.
Okay, if they make this, it will still look good, be fast, and they still won't be as common as Camaros, because they are more expensive, and harder to insure. But we have no clue what they will do, we have no verification of this.
I think the cheap corvette would be great! But the way I see it now the camaro has been marketed as too much of a sports car and so this is going to take sales away from it. Gm has blurred the line between muscle and sports car.
This is still gonna be Near 400hp in a 3300-3400lb car. Thats still wicked fast
The reason they didn't use the twin six is because of weight. They knew, even with 50 less horses, the weight difference between the engines would have the "base" vette buyer right on the Stingray's ass.
Great, now there will be a bunch of cheap-model Vettes on the road. It'll give me that sick feeling I get when I see the V6 Stangs or Camaros rolling around.
Never thought I'd see the day that you could buy a Corvette with a truck engine in it. Should be interesting to see how we'll it works out.
I was thinking how Chevy was going to keep the Vette price down despite more HP, better interior, better bells and whistles etc. Now it makes sense. So the Stingray isn't the base variant.
What is the chance they are selling this coup-coup at a lower cost, because now people are expecting better interiors with this well designed body, and a good engine in it.
That Cadillac ats-v or what ever will have or a LT1 like the new Chevy SS
I got an idea, scratch cheap corvette, just make a sports rwd coupe similar to import sports cars like the 370Z and genesis coupe V6 that starts at a lower price and then has a top trim level of SS that has a different engine like the new turbo v6
Because then it won't be a corvette. I think this is a fantastic idea. At the same time it's going to be even less exclusive then it was before. I feel very bipolar about this.
I don't get the reasoning behind this. They don't expect to sell enough stingrays? Why not just turn it into a whole new car?
They'll have to place this somewhere between 375-390 HP I would imagine. They can't overpower the SS Camaro and they'll probably want to do around 60-75 HP less than the Stingray. It has to be more than 350 HP or it'll just seem silly.
Shoot I don't ever wanna see a V6 in a Vette. I think this was a good move. Those 5.3s have a lot of potential.
Victor, CB claims it will be a little les than 400 hp. 320 is significantly less, I was thinking like 390-385 would be a "little less".
Willing to bet it'll be smoother looking than the stingray, sometimes less is more
I just researched and Chevy has like 5 different versions of the 5.3 vortec engine, but it should be about 320hp/312ft lbs.
Vortex aluminum LM7? That's kind of cool!! Could've used the LS1, but that's actually more lightweight than that!
looks even better in person, but I hope GM goes with some different styling for the cheaper vette. It just wouldn't make any sense keeping the styling the same. At least give it some of its own personality.
Yeh i agree with wyatt. The c7 is more european looking car. This can still shine near an sls amg aston or even ferrari 458.
Wyatt I don't get what you mean by "more European looking"? I still see an 100 percent American supercar
Anything Tara and Brittney say, Most guy will agree 101% even if they are wrong :)
It's good but seems too busy. It's still hasn't grown on me. I still prefer c6
Why only four? Should make it eight! Let them know c7 is serious about exhausting.
Brittany is right. The quad pipes just look weird. If they were spaced out a little more in pairs it would look better but oh well. Front looks better imo
Prefer the rear of this car to the front! I find the front badly proportioned, while I find the back much more muscular!
Based upon comments made by Corvette Engineers on page 5 of the Corvette Action Center's review article on the 2014 Corvette, I would be very surprised if they came out with a lower cost base model: http://corvetteactioncenter.com/specs/c7-corvette/2014-c7-corvette/2014-c7-corvette-review.html
Good idea
