Even $60k is a steal for a base car that bests the Grand Sport on track and comes with all this new stuff. It's like a true GT inside now. Someone (at GM) just hurry up and take my damn money!

This reflect my sentiments. Corvettes for a while were performance at the expense of everything else. Now they are upping performance and bringing back that other stuff that was missing. Such as quality interior and seats.

Exactly. I would DD the f*ck out of this car in supreme comfort and luxury comparable to more expensive high end sports cars.

c7+ Ford F150 = a damn good garage.

IM worried that the z51 with MR will be about 8k more than the base.

I'm not too worried about it at this point. Even if it turns out the Z51 is a little too expensive, you still get a hell of a lot of car for the base.

Still... anxiously awaiting pricing and option sheets!

I bought $2 in mega million. If I win I'll buy you one

Rooster, yes, it has... My thought/guess is that the reason we're seeing designs converge is as much about aero as it is about copying what sells. Nissan did it right in terms of aero and grip. The two side windows are an interesting decision as well... somewhere in the GM marketing materials they said that these were done to allow the air intake panels right next to (below) them, not sure why the two are connected... It's a break from recent corvette tradition but I like it

A lot of cars look the same these days. Also shares lines with the Ferrari California, 599, F12 or whatever the new one is, Aston Zagato, etc. Not a bad thing IMO. Still looks decidedly Corvette with more flair and some Euro influence.

Agree... 599 reference makes the most sense to me... most have been up on the wall as they worked through this design

Man, the more I look at it, the more I like this car! Wish we could invest in Corvette stock (not GM)

Isn't that always how it works? If you look at most cars from any era, they tend to share a design language. And I think it tends to represent the era well.

So is it that the GTR has ushered in the new era design language? Has the GTR's philosophy of beauty through functionality taken a hold?

Make no mistake, I'm not trying to put down the c7. I think its a gorgeous car. Along with GTRs, Vipers, the new ferrari(can't remember the name either), etc.

I wonder how long this look will last? until the 2020s?
