next gen, c7 is rumored to be a mid engined car. i was thinking of hopping into the Porsche 911 or a Skyline GT-R by then, but i'm terribly curious how it'll look. could be a great machine.

This is where 95% of the improvement of the Corvette will be noticed by drivers. Time to test drive one again!

For 45K its untouchable. In fact it will runaway from pretty much anything south of a Viper. Pretty fantastic if you ask me.

bone stock ls3 6.2 litre dyno numbers

two different cars, two different days.. These numbers would indicate the vettes suffer from only 10 percent drive train loss of power if we follow chevys 436hp claim.

the "z07" is now going to be called the zr-1. When this comes out Chevy is said to be stopping production of the z06. So the line up will be base vette and zr-1. Then when the c7's come out it is once again rumored that chevy will produce a mid-engine vette, but this rumor has been around for 40 years. They now offer a leather option for I think right around $8k

They are not stopping production of the ZO6 and the leather wrap option is $3500 not 8K.

Go to chevy's website build one, the 3lz package brings the price of 71,000 to 77,545 though it may not be 8000 it most certainly is not 3500. And why would chevy produce the z06 and zr-1 together? doesn't make sense. http://www.chevrolet.com/byo/byoSele...ewVehicle=true
