The seats look amazing. Not sure who the manufacturer is but they look very nice.

And we're hearing a sub 4.0 second time for 0-60 with the LT1.

Wow...I love it! Really excited to see what it looks like in person

I don't get the stingray thing unless its a special edition or HPO model.

Looks like SRT with the Viper and Chevy both really turned it up in the interior department, which is great, brute performance is great and all but watching C6 Reviews with it's interior...It does it's job but it needed a step up.

The steering wheel also doesn't look like a GM grab bin one.

Can't wait for the reveal!

63-76 all used Stingray, just a homage thing I suppose. Similar to the round tails or pop-up headlights that were used for years.

All the hoopla and I'm STILL betting the server will crash and people won't see anything by 7 pm.

Hope not, but they usually underestimate bandwidth demand with these sort of things and the "technical difficulties" always come into play. I'm interested to see it, but probably not to the point of wanting to buy one.

Seriously considering trading in my Camaro for this...

ec1990 · 01-13-2013, 04:01 PM

So if the Corvette gets GM's first 7-speed, how do the gates work? In the Camaro neutral is between 3-4, do you think it will be the same and just have two gates to the right with 5-6 and 7-R, or does neutral lie between 3-4 and 5-6.

I know for a fact you're not the only one. The number of used Camaros on the market is going to increase.

...and now I'm torn on waiting on a 6th gen. If it does make 3000lbs and it becomes mod friendly as opposed to dodge and SRT..

3000lbs?? No way. If riding on the Alpha platform like it will probably end up doing, expect a base bones Camaro to weigh at least 3,300 lbs, and a V8 equipped model in the 3,500 or so range. Thats still 300lbs or so lost which is great. Anything less than that weight would be icing on the cake.

I was referring to the Vette. I have my 4+4 coupe in the form of my Trans Am which with me in the seat is 3750lba give or take.. Car is approx 3400lbs no fuel. I'm 270.

I scrolled really fast past the leaked pics....okay, I looked at the one of the headlight design.

Gonna try my best to hold out a few more hours.
