Hopefully they throw their upcoming 8 speed automatic into the Z06 later on. The 6 speed is a bit dated and leaves much to be desired.

The car will be just as deadly in the twisties.

Ahhh my fault. I know that the base Corvette had a 6 speed, forgot that the Z06 was already getting the new gearbox.

How Corvette-ish to have the horsepower and torque figures on a badge inside the car.

I have an idea to which kind of segment of the population will buy this one, and it will not be pretty thing to see. And the car just screams sad and miserable, old and lonely, erectile dysfunction and allergic to Viagra.

Nope, my way of coming up with a profile for every car is a helluva lot of fun in a traffic jam. That and Viagra commercials played loud in traffic lights while a Vette driver is sitting next to you, are just about only fun one can have in this area.

Well, of course, when you so highly recommend it! Not seeing the appeal of Corvettes must be a decease, not a matter of taste.

I don't know who and what demographic group drives them there, but here it's always 50+ male, who has clearly bought the car in order to get lucky for the last time in his life. Their faces show, that the hope is dying while only male eyes register their not so beautiful, and plastic looking chick magnets.

I'm sorry, but American car industry should finally learn their lesson, and hire someone with an eyesight to their designing department. Maybe even a female, so that they could actually get an opinion of one whom to attract they build these things.

If my husband starts wanting one of these, I sure as hell will find a house with a pool, and the horse dick will have to show up daily to keep the dear old house wife happy. Gotta keep those pools clean, you know!

Please go Google the CEO of GM. LOL

Google the engineer responsible for the interior of the '15 Mustang. Hint, she didn't just pick out the colors...

The C7 Vette is a vagina with wheels. If you have to ask, you so don't understand.

Please, go join the Louis Vuitton handbag forum. I am sure your shallow/pretentious views will be much more welcomed there.
