And here comes C7 Corvette....tests...

electric e-brake :thumbdown: but I can live with that.

DO WANT.

I'd black vinyl wrap the chrome piece in the front bumper tho, lol.

Good call, I'm sure someone would make a nice looking replacement.

Car porn! Ermagerd.

It's definitely a great value. I'm in to see how the Z06 turns out.

Much less annoying in a car like that than in something like a FWD econobox. At least your right pedal can give you sideway action on demand in a Vette...

Anyone read the comments on here?

People are calling this car that costs as much as a loaded 335 or something but performs like an exotic a piece of garbage :laugh: Jealousy.

Everything about it is totally amazing for that price, IMO.

Yeah I need to sit in one and drive it myself but from everything I have seen and read all of these haters are nuts. The test car has a bunch of optional crap, of course it is heavier than the stated curb weight...

The car is roughly the same price as a base Cayman that has 275 hp and does 5.4 seconds 0-60, has an open diff (you can pay extra to get XDS "torque vectoring" that brakes inside wheel just like GTI has), and has a whopping 4.6 ft^3 of storage space (C7 has roughly 20 ft^3), and halogen headlights that people bitch about on the GTI.

The Corvette is literally better in every way except for curb weight.

Yep... and it continues... The new gen vettes always puts current gen Porsches to shame in most aspects. But... you will always have badge (VAG) humpers.

True. I have yet to know the pleasures of a RWD car.....ohh someday

Why does the manual have paddle shifters on the steering wheel??

Really do like the new 'vette.

They are using it as a switch for the rev matching feature IIRC.

That's why I added in the edit... I thought those posts were in this thread but mixed the two up.

There's a new Motor Trend Ignition review as well that explains it a bit more. That was his only complaint...more of a learning curve since steering paddles are generally for shifting, not for engaging settings lol.
