I would need to walk around one, then sit in it... then possibly drive it.

Is that the production model? There's a lot of vents.

The all-new LT1 small-block V8 holds on to the same 6.2-liter displacement as the C6, here producing 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque backed by either a seven-speed manual or a six-speed paddleshift automatic. And although GM has yet to release the car's weight (we only know it won't be under 3,000 pounds as previously rumored), it's promising a better power-to-weight ratio than the Porsche 911 Carrera and Audi R8. In fact, Chevy pledges the C7 will run from 0-60 in less than four seconds and Z51 Performance Package examples will achieve cornering grip of over one g right out of the box. Further, 60-0 braking distances are said to be consistent with that of the outgoing Grand Sport and so are its lap times – impressive for a standard model.

 

[KennyGS]

2013 GS is rated at 3.95s (0-60) and 1 g cornering.

The big question will be the msrp.

It looks like it will have a 7 speed gearbox, and an electric parking brake.

Time for KennyGS to trade in?

 

[KennyGS]

First year releases scare me.

3:20-3:35 or so of that vid ^ talking about them driving costs down with suppliers so they didn't have to raise pricing over the aluminum frame...

 

[webby]

and just before 8 min - says that "if you can afford a c6, you'd be fine at acquiring a c7"... because they tried to keep the pricing close.

 

[KennyGS]

An entirely new car is going to to have problems. The question is whether they'll be little or major.
