[Official] C7 Corvette Thread

DLSTR · 01-15-2013, 07:50 AM

Been looking at it more. Digesting the dimensions and specs. The car is just too big still. No reduction in length and the weight is above 3000lbs. Nice from the side not so much from the back.

I like smaller powerful shapes. The car is going to be great but too big for me. Price wise I can get a 2009 or 2010 911.

One thing I didnt like about either Vette I had mid and late 90's was the size after sometime of owning. Either way they did make a newer Vette. Im sure it will sell well.

The Corvette is nearly identical in size to the 911. Length and width are the same. But if anything, it certainly looks lower than any 911 could.

Autoblog said it is longer than a 911 and no change in overall length. The article also said it was originally thought to be below 3000lbs. It will not be. Nice car still of course.
Edit - Just did a bit more looking and its only .2 longer in overall length than the current 911. Certainly not a big deal!

--And although GM has yet to release the car's weight (we only know it won't be under 3,000 pounds as previously rumored),--

White is Classy
Black is just ghetto
Yellow would be too much of an attention whore.
Brown would be too much drama

....

Wait are we talking about the corvette still?

The overall shape of the car looks great, put please, add more cheap plastically vents and crap....

you mean functional vents that help the car go faster and be more efficient.

Agreed we know hood vents are CF and functionally send warm air from radiator over car to assist in down force. Rear intakes are used to cool tranny and diff. All functional. This car is real deal!

They took the cheap plastic interior and transferred it to the exterior. Maybe if they color-matched those parts it would look great. As it is...pure crap!

If they don't offer a color matched option thats easily something you can have done after the purchase.

When you get to a car this caliber they aren't going to your local Autozone and taping them to the car. Those cheap plastic-looking (i believe is what you are going for) vents are all functional.
