Re: 2014 C7 Vette

im a car guy, but cant say i like that vette.....looks like the designers copied cues from five different cars. and square tail lights, on a vette....no way!! and all the vents??? .. dont care if they are functional.....they are overstated and look like bling. i think they dropped the ball on this one. jmo

I would like to see GM do what Dodge did with the Challenger and bring back some of the full bodied muscle cars like the 60ish GTO, Chevelle SS and how many of yall remember the little light weight ChevyII Nova of the 60's? I would buy a 67' styled Chevelle SS if they would put it back out there.

Did you notice GM is back calling them STINGRAYS....not just corvettes.....they lost the stingray in 1976....only corvettes since

Not sure why they are copying the back of a Camaro. Copying an ugly car isn't helping matters.

Not me, I would look for a used Ferrari 308, that was a sweet car.

I knew someone that had a Ferrari. As expensive as Porsches are to fix, multiply by 5 what it costs for a Ferrari.

I'd like to think that the little Subaru BRZ would be much more fun to drive, discounting the obvious HP advantages of the vette.

I have always wanted one but what there doing to the looks of it is a shame! I want a throw back version of the 63' split window fastback with todays tech.

There is a company in Washington State that does exactly that, a former boss of mine had a brochure from them, they have been doing a few years now.

They reduced head room AGAIN and they still can't make it go around a corner worth a dang.

Have you been in a Vette in the last 2 generations? They handle AWESOME!

I'm still undecided on the new one but I've been in love with the C6 since it came out, we want to get a coupe 6 Speed in the next few years as a toy.
