2014 Corvette a crying shame?

[03CobraBro]

Looks like some sort of camaro/gtr monstrosity from the back... What do you guys think?

(BTW sorry for not searching the forum but I guess svtp isn't iphone friendly and I don't feel like jumping on the computer so we'll have to make do!)

I personally not a fan of the new styling (Viper front, Camaro rear) but quite a few here like them.

I am on the fence, one solid color on it looks horrible but the red with black accents looks pretty nice. Im going to a couple car shows this month and next and hope to see it in person to make the final judgement

The rear glass and lines of the hatch resembles a C2 Stingray.

I don't think it's the best looking car, but I don't think it looks bad or anything. I think when Chevy releases the higherend Z06/ZR1 models the will likely dress it up into a very badass looking car. I'm also sure that it will be a hell of a performer. I hates Vette's but I'll own up to that. I feel that Vette fans live warm up to the car in a year or 2.

GM continues to only ruin its sports cars and the Vette was the last thing they had going for them. Now they've ruined it.

I wouldn't say a crying shame. I'm waiting to see what they do with the Z06 and ZR1 before passing judgement.

Like the front, the rear is pretty bad...

 

[pho_phizzat]

I want one.

 

[fangstang]

I love it

Front looks good, but the rear doesn't appeal to me at all. Excited to see the zo6.

same here... I like it from the front to the sail panel...I hope the Z06 and ZR1 get a better booty!

DAT ASS

 

[Torch10th]

Patiently waiting for all the haters to start wanting one when it launches and starts kicking everything's ass.

 

[Crimson2v]

Not diggin the rear end which is what I would be looking at if I raced one.

 

[Flad]

they finally got the aggressive look.
I think it's bad ass. under $50k best bang for the buck. world class engineering to boot

MSRP is est. to be right around 55K...I agree though, the C7 will be a great bargain for the money.

 

[JBird_Cobra]

I think its awesome; I definitely want one.

I disagree, I absolutely adore c5 and C6's. The ass end, the front end, the god awful looking interior To me they've ruined the cars. This is a let down when you consider the c5 to c6 jump blew the c5 Z06 Numbers out of the water. the C6 to C7 cannot really be considered a jump so much..... a hop rather. 20 hp 24 ft lbs of tq and they are raising the price 5k and throwing in the Z06 Frame.

To each their own I guess. I don't care how fast or slow something is if it looks god awful.

 

[Wishing4Cobra]

Like everyone else I like everything BUT the rear end.

This.

Interior is leaps and bounds better as well. The car has a lot of great engineering in it. To say how great the rest of the car looks you gotta ask wtf were they thinking with that rear?!

Those are still est power figures, though I do not think they will surpass the C6Z in terms of power production. I would expect the final number to be 20-30 north of 450 HP and TQ...This new LT series motor matches the LS7 in torque production from 1K RPM to right around 4K RPM....The chassis has undergone serious development along with the rest of the car. I believe this will be a big jump from previous gens. The C6 was really a major update of the C5, but not a net new car from the ground up.
