Still like the Viper better....but they sure have a lot of hoopla over it's unveiling. Not sure how long this big horsepower supercars trend is going to continue but we better enjoy it while we can..."carbon credits" charges are coming.

at least it doesn't look like a clown shoe. It looks great from every angle but the rear, so it should cause plenty of vomiting from mustang and viper owners. That's a plus. Where this car really jumps off the page is the details, not the pictures

I'm glad it's not another retro-car, I like it. Different for sure, and perhaps inspired by Ferrari (and Nissan GT-R and maybe a few others), but very cool in my opinion. Awesome technology and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better-performing Sports car for the price.

I was thinking the exact same thing

Not a fan. Lines are too hard and edgy and the rear end is ... :eek: I bought my first Corvette a year ago and debated a long time going between a C5 and C6. Ended up finding a low-mileage clean '04 C5. I'm glad I did because the C6 still hasn't grown on me and the C7 is much worse IMHO.

It's a Cormaro isn't it.See what happens when you fool with Mother Nature?
Can't afford one any way so I could care less.

66-67 Coupe's look a lot better especially as a Super Stocker. No friggin' computer either.

Very cool car, would love to have one sitting in my garage. Another Ford guy who appreciates performance cars in any brand. The technology and performance is the best in its price range by far.

Re: 2014 Corvette
 
To me.the quarter window and the back of the car looks like an old 280Z Kinda Japan-ish. Front looks like a Vette. Allegedly the car is supposed to get a lot better interior, worthy of its price tag..base model is supposed to be 400+ HP, better suspension. The extras and price go up from there.

They stopped making good looking corvette's about 1972

Looks too much like a Ferrari to me, but would still look good in my garage next my 03 vette.

Re: 2014 Corvette
 
It's growing on me a little bit. I like the aggressive lines on the front. The rear reminds me a little too much like the Camaros. I don't like single "cockpit" interior layout but might be cool when you're driving. The gauges rock! The technology is great and the new 7speed manual is interesting. I'd have to see it in person to see if I would put it on the want it/like it list.

I like the Vettes a lot especially the C6(Z06!) C5, C2s. It's almost unamerican not to like the Vette and the Mustang lol.

It's almost as ugly as the new Camaro. I'd rather have a Caddy CST- V but the Viper is the top of my wish list.

That's almost a compliment considering the Mustang is not in the same class as the Viper and Vette. Thanks! Shows how the little pony car has become much more then it was originally designed to be performance wise.

I'm a horsepower junky so actually I'm dissappointed in "only" 450hp out of the new LT-1. Oh what a jaded world we live in when pretty much every V8 makes over 400hp stock(even some trucks) 6cylinder cars are becoming the norm over 300hp NA and twin turbos are economy. Some Supercharged cars making well in excess of 600hp all while not getting hit with gas guzzler tax in stock form. Things get even more interesting once the modifications begin! How great it is to be a car guy.

I have heard talks of a Twin turbo LT-1 coming in the new Z06/ZR1 type model coming SOON!

The Direct injection is pretty cool stuff! 1500PSI fuel pressure is not messing around. :eek:
