So by now you’ve heard and mostly seen the new C7 Corvette for 2014.
I don’t think there’s been a more redesigned Vette since the 1984 C4.
5 Driving modes
7 Speed Manual transmission
99 lbs lighter than the C6
Direct Injection with push-rods in a small block
And Camaro taillights!!!
Here are some pics:

With the new C7 just days away with from it’s reveal – will it look the a Camaro or not much of a change from the C6?
We don’t exactly know, but what we do know it will have the GM small block a mainstay for 57 years. This version will be almost all new and dubbed the “LT1”, (after the 70’s engine) and will be naturally aspirated with direct fuel injection (the first with push rods). The idea is that the base Corvette will have 450 hp and 450 lb-ft, compression will be 11.5:1 and get 26 miles per gallon (yeah….RIGHT!!).
Read some more at the link below and in the Feb 2013 Edition of Motor Trend read “Up Close and Personal With the LT1” (page 15).

Ok…this has nothing to do with the C7, but I thought I’d start the 9,547th rumor!!!
This IS a very interesting video.
283 engine making over 300 HP!!!! Inboard brakes!!!! ONLY 1800 lbs!!!
Remember – “Assembled” in America is NOT the same as “Made” in America.
