Interesting that you should say that. Let's revisit some Corvette styling and history... Here's just one very prime example... How about the 1966-1972 Lamborghini Miura? ...Which debuted two years before the C3?

I see now what they are talking about with regards to ventilation through the tail light assembly. If you look at the outside teardrop portion, you can see the vents where the air exits.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Yeah, I also read that on the Chevy's C7 website. It also mentioned about air flow being exhausted via the tail lights (assembly). A member here made mention of hearing that too. Did Tom elaborate on that at all?

I took this right from the C7 website (here). Looking at the seats- hold your mouse over it for a the larger picture- it doesn't look like they are that different support-wise. Obviously the racing seat could support an over-the-shoulder belt setup, but the side bolsters don't look that that...

Hard to say. Both pictures in this thread are computer generated, not real life pics. I think I read somewhere in the C7 section of Chevy's website that the matching color will be an option. But don't quote me.

Thanks for the pics, 67vet!:thumb

I would say you are correct. The air passing through the channel on the Vette, as I understand it thus far, is only passing through the radiator and that's it. Yes, the air coming out will be warmer than when it entered, but that's barely anything, temp-wise, respective to the hot air coming...

That sucks. Maybe because their only C7's are still at the Detroit Auto Show? Regardless, that's a bummer. :cry

There are footnotes to my reference. 1) If the outside temps are 85°F or hotter, then you're probably gonna feel hot air regardless. 2) "When the car is moving" fast enough that you'd notice any cockpit turbulence in general. 3) Negligible being a keyword. :) (Although I also realize...

I'm not entirely sure I follow what you've written. I don't have any reference to the part about the taillights being a channel for hot brake air to be exhausted. The fact that they may be exhaust vents notwithstanding, it would still seem that you are hung up on, "But why can't they round? I...

Taking it solely at face value, doesn't that seem like a rather petty reason for not liking/enjoying/embracing the C7??? The tail light design??? It's not like round lenses were the heart & soul of a Corvette, nor are they exclusive to Corvette. I don't think it's going to change anything in...

He's just here to troll. Stir shit up just for the sake of doing do. He has no intent of contributing anything positive in nature. Trolls normally go away once they get bored with being ignored. So we encourage our members not to feed the trolls. And if the trolls don't go away on their...

As Rob has previously stated and to give minor elaboration- There are no cosmetic vents on the C7. Every one of them has a specific function. As for the C3 & C4, the vents do function, just not as well since there's no physical, closed channel between the intake and the exit. Regardless, they...

This isn't uncommon. Many mfg's don't take into full account front plate requirements. I can say with personal experience that Ford and Infiniti do not. For states that's don't require 'em, it's no big thing. For states that do, often the car will be delivered with a crappy bolt-on plate...

Good eye! I'll give you that. However... I've been to many an Auto Show to check out new model year cars, and I've been surprised how many of them seem to be 'unfinished'. I'm not saying this is acceptable, and it's certainly not good. In fact, this is what essentially kept my buddy from...

As an FYI, Matt posted his comment in a different thread. And as a heads-up, I don't want this thread to delve into political views. It's not the point of this thread. :)

Too many variables have shifted since the 1950's. It's not possible to make the Corvette a car that young people can afford. That's why there's the Cobalt SS or Camaro. Do you know what kind of backlash would occur if Chevy made a Corvette that "young people" could afford? Just take a look at...

Charles, Welcome to the :CAC I was going to quote specific pieces of your post, but then realized it's all pointing to the same thing. Your experience with Corvette clubs and shows is completely reversed from mine. I was in a Corvette Club and the average age was probably 60-ish. And the car...

I mean this in all sincerity... there must be some car out there that exemplifies your idea for "clean, bold, purebred" for the rear end, or at least gets close. What car or cars have that trait? (Hopefully, something I and other can google image search (Google Images) I'm simply trying to get...
