6-Shooter makes a good point ... ... anything new out there could be the C7 engine. At this early date, who can say with any surety what market pressures and legislature fiat will sculpt the final product? An extreme fuel crisis might push all cars towards smaller engines or technology...

Ah yes ... the miracle of Photoshop! You put C6 styling cues on the Cadillac Cien and voila' ... a C7 concept! Fact is, I like it a lot and a whole lot more than the Jalopnik version. Since we're using a Caddy concept for the chassis here, let's also pretend it has a mid-engine V16.

Sweet I especially like the hood and the gunmetal paint.

Dude ... ... I hope you kept the Harley!

I wish I were closer to Ohio. That's the kind of project I'd like to have and the price is very good. Somebody should snap this one up. And bless you for taking care of your dad in his time of need. Sorry for your loss.

BigT ... you always had Corvette flu and disease ... ... and you just found the cure! Awesome car and you did well by waiting for the one in the best shape that fit your desires. And you have excellent taste in Corvettes! I love that car and the wheels are the bomb. Now start buying the...

Thankee kindly. The funny part is that I was looking for a fixer-upper to drop in a Rat motor and build some kind of custom Frankenvette, but I couldn't pass on this one and now I don't want to modify it any. And I still have a 427 sitting in the shop. I guess I'll just get a third one ... ;)

The fastest Corvette in the world ... ... is an '84 "Pregnant Torpedo" with a big block engine that set the record at 271 mph. Just sayin' ...

Okay ... here's the car. Stock from the box except the exhaust tips and cordless Fuzzbuster.

I promise ... ... but right now I have an appointment at the VA. Pics later today!!!

It's a red herring. There are fully two years to go before C7 hits the showroom if 2014 is launch time, and the C6 speculation was rampant right up to a month or so before the unveiling when a trucker left one unveiled on his rig and someone got real live snapshots. A lot could happen in two...

I know '84s haven't gotten much respect over the years, but I earned four trophies at car shows with mine over the course of this summer. It's all original and has just 56,000 miles on it, so I detailed the crap out of it when I first bought it and it looks like a new car. No, no Best in Show...

Yiou must remove the speaker, too. I had to rebuild the window mechanism in the right door of my '84 and getting the thing out of the door after it was unbolted was the hardest part. I ended up removing the speaker so I could swing the bottom trackway upwards at the front, lift the edge of the...

It's a nice sketch, but ... ... even the Corvette designers have to pay a certain degree of homage to practicality and your version has very limited driver visibility, among other things. All the same, the wild drawings that eventually become production cars are usually run through a long...

'84, '95 and '04 Blazer. Call me Mr. Bowtie ...

Welcome to the CAC! Wow ... I aways wanted a pewter C5, too. I love my C4s, though, so I'll just be happy you found your dream Vette and drive on. :cool!:

I like them all, but ... ... to me, the C4 is the cleanest, most aerodynamic and clean looking of them all, especially after '91. What I'm less thrilled about are the engine choices ... a small block or nothing. I've always loved the brute power and torque of big blocks and the LS engines...

Thanks for the kind words. No tornado touchdown here, but golf ball hail, intense lightning and thunder and drenching rain driven by winds up to 80 mph. Lotsa muddy waters goin g through the property that washed out the driveway, so I'll be workin' the shovel all day. The good news is that...

Thanks Hib. I'll check on that as soon as the tornadoes go past here. Big ones coming through here in about an hour ....

My '84 rides like a Harley hardtail. How can I tell if I have the Z-51 suspension package that's legendary for it's bad ride?:confused
