This car is my doomsday prepping plan for 21 Dec 2012 I can outrun all the highwaymen trying to kill me and take my gas.

Nice. The muscle car choices just keep getting better all the time. I was reading a car magazine and they showed some pics of the 2014 Corvette. It looked really awesome and the base model is around the ZL1 and GT500 price range.

Wonder what its performance numbers will be. Because if it doesn't outperform those cars at the price point, you're paying for the looks and lack of back seat. :icon17:

I need back seats so no corvette until I get the kids out.

Definitely hope so. I'm assuming Chevy had the ZL1 in mind when designing the new Corvette so it should put out better performance numbers.

the rear looks like a camaro

Lemers 03-19-2012 12:14 AM

Yeah. Corvettes have round lights. Chevy trying to save a few bucks by dipping into the parts bin again?

mick 03-19-2012 12:17 AM

yeah but the 4 big exhaust pipes look mean, like those from a supercar :)

Lemers 03-19-2012 12:20 AM

Looks like something out of a James bond movie. With a push o the lighter missile tips will appear out of two of the pipes.

I'm hoping it's not like that when it hits showrooms.

Hate the Camaro looking rear on the C7 Corvette. They need to change that.

Here's a first drive of the 2013 5.0h. This article really just mentions the updates for 2013.

No suspension or engine could outrun that kind of ugly if it is.
