Pretty interesting look at the C7. First Look: 2014 Corvette Stingray - Jay Leno's Garage - YouTube

Look forward to your perspective on the reveal. I'm loving the new look more and more.

GM's statement is that the C7 frame is 99lbs lighter and 57% stiffer than the hydroformed steel frame of the C6.

Went to the Philadelphia Auto Show yesterday and it was disappointing (though not unexpected) that there wasn't a C7 at the show. The Philadelphia show is mainly dealer supported so the vehicles on display are from surrounding dealers. The only concept car that was on display was the Lexus...

This + black rims = Awesome!

I found this as well, already picked out my colors. Cyber Gray Metallic plus Black rims. :D

Has anyone heard of the manual Stingray gets around the Gas Guzzler tax like Vettes before? If this is truly a goal of the new car then it might incorporate CAGS as well as DOD and direct injection. I believe CAGS was introduced on the LT1 equipped, 6-speed C4. The new car has increased base...

I've been disappointed in the passed with expectations of vehicles being at the Philly show. I have low expectations of the car actually being there but will be pleasantly surprised if I see it when I show up. I'm still going to the show regardless. :)

The Stingray isn't listed as a car that will be in attendance. I honestly don't expect it to be there at the Philadelphia show which will be disappointing. I may try to get to the New York show and hope that it's presented there.

Other items I forgot to mention in original post. Like what I can see of the interior, a throw back to the C4 cockpit. Like the different IP display modes as well. FINALLY! Supportive seats worthy of a vehicle with this type of performance. This was a huge gripe in my C5. The benefit of...

I like what I see so far, though the rear has to grow on me a bit more. I will say that the low light image makes the rear look better, I like how the lit lamps look. I'm a fan of the edgier, creased look and can't wait for performance tests.

Bump: Wagon wheel center cap still available.

So you're trying to tell me that the guys in the Prius are having all the fun? Um, what's the plural of Prius? Priui?

Sorry Jim, cartridge is sold.

Oh, for sure I'll be back to Corvette one day. Now I know you would like some stainless steel brake lines to help that LS6 stop better. :)

Corvette is gone and I have a few items from the car that I don't need anymore. GM OEM Center cap for 97-99 wagon wheels, $30, still in OEM package. PM if interested. Leon

I've been tossing around getting rid of the Vette for another car to use as a daily driver but the fuel economy and fun-meter combo of the Vette make it hard to replace.

That sucks. I think the Chevrons here in SE PA are Ethanol free but there just aren't that many stations around. :(

I never had any problems with FL gas when I lived there and would routinely get 30mpg on trips. Now that I'm in the NE most everything around here has 10% ethanol and kills my mileage. I need to search for a Chevron station or something to get away from this Ethanol crap.

Reports like this on parts for late model C6 parts tells me that I don't want to look at a newer Corvette. My car is high enough in miles that it needs attention from time to time. Looks like this could be the end of my Vette ownership for a while until GM sorts some stuff out.
