Well, to be fair, I'm not really enamored with the whole "mid-engine, big vents, big ass" design of most modern supercars, so that is no different for the Corvette.

It is sad to me that the rumor they were going to continue to sell the C7 along with the C8 turned out to be just that, a rumor.

I had plans to buy a 'Vette as my next car, but at this point it will probably be either a used C7, or it will be something completely different. I have a couple of years to let it play out.

Well looks like LT2 6.2L is the power plant

Dose that mean it's still a power light inefficient pushrod?

The problem isn't so much the big vents big ass look that is lacking.

ITs the fact that it looks like the rear end of a cheaper Camaro, instead of the rear end of a Corvette.

Probably. Do Corvettes have cylinder deactivation?

Not that I'm really looking for economy from my sports car. I just want it to make the most power it can from the fuel it IS burning.

just renderings, but it will probably look like this.

I hope not cause that is awful looking. The normal current Corvette is not exactly pretty as it is, but that's just tragic

My LT1 C7 does when in economy mode. Never run that though

Looks about par for the GM course.

Well, yeah, that's why the rest of us look at them strange. They bought Pontiac Aztecs, and they'll buy this ugly piece of shit.
