"at least 625hp and 635lb-ft of torque"

wow, thats pretty impressive

like the bulging fenders, but still dont like the taillights

[webfoot]

I agree with you, if they got rid of that little down-dip portion it would look better. But then again I am not a fan of yellow cars so maybe it would look better if it were any other color.

I've seen a couple of the C7's. One red and one black. The tail light surrounds look horrendous on either.....just less so on the darker car.

That's for posting that.....a good warning to all the picture texts my youngest will be sending me once he see this online...lol

Agree about taillights, but I'm sure I could get used to them reeeal fast once the driving commenced!

[Captainofiron]

yea, they still look odd, but not as bad on a black car



compared to the C6 rear end, which I think has been the best looking Vette rear in a LOOOONG LONG time

It's kinda hard to see them from the drivers seat.



I wouldn't kick one outta my garage.

I wonder if they'll create the ZR1 again? If they do that means it'll have to have more power then the Z06.

[Txbobcat]

I would like to have that drivetrain for my corvette

Car is now firmly in Supercar Status as far as I am concerned.....

[ponjohn]

They are getting that power with a 1.7L supercharger.

It is very impressive.

Yep, probably run from a Lambo with that kind of power

The Aventador chimes in with 691hp.
But it's also around $400K

The Huracan (successor to the Gallardo) is slotted for 610hp.
Price tag is rumored to be around $200K.

Whatever the price tag is for the Z06, it'll still be a bargain compared to the two above.
But then again, those that are buying these things usually aren't worried about the price tag.

And the annual maintenance on those cars is a gift that never stops giving

No. Never really cared for them. Expensive to own/maintain?

my ex had a 318i

Nope. But I looked into a 325 when car shipping for the wife.

The base vehicle was very reasonable, but they bend you over 3 ways to Sunday for basic options. At least that was my opinion at the time.

Ended up getting an Acura where the base vehicle was fully loaded and the only options were color and a nav system.

My wife's '13 MDX is one sweet ride.
The new '14 has me confused however. Where did the signature dual exhaust go? Looks like they hid them under the car somewhere. Bummer.

The Corvette has been the bargain of super cars for years now. I know people always talk about bumpers looking like plastic but when you have a motor like that and it costs way less than a lambo that is a win in my book. Are older model Corvettes coming down in price?

[Nitebird]

I have noticed that the Corvette has taken an extreme amount of styling design from the Viper in the past decade or so (wheel design and body design). The irony is that Corvette guys like the vette but absolutely cant stand the Viper.
