What are your thoughts on the new corvette?

Looks a lot like a Cadillac to me

Still like the Viper better....but they sure have a lot of hoopla over it's unveiling. Not sure how long this big horsepower supercars trend is going to continue but we better enjoy it while we can..."carbon credits" charges are coming.

at least it doesn't look like a clown shoe. It looks great from every angle but the rear, so it should cause plenty of vomiting from mustang and viper owners. That's a plus. Where this car really jumps off the page is the details, not the pictures

Looks like a camaro rearended a corvette its going to have to grow on me ...just like the others did

I'm glad it's not another retro-car, I like it. Different for sure, and perhaps inspired by Ferrari (and Nissan GT-R and maybe a few others), but very cool in my opinion. Awesome technology and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better-performing Sports car for the price.

That's almost a compliment considering the Mustang is not in the same class as the Viper and Vette. Thanks! Shows how the little pony car has become much more then it was originally designed to be performance wise.

I'm a horsepower junky so actually I'm dissappointed in "only" 450hp out of the new LT-1. Oh what a jaded world we live in when pretty much every V8 makes over 400hp stock(even some trucks) 6cylinder cars are becoming the norm over 300hp NA and twin turbos are economy. Some Supercharged cars making well in excess of 600hp all while not getting hit with gas guzzler tax in stock form. Things get even more interesting once the modifications begin! How great it is to be a car guy.

I have heard talks of a Twin turbo LT-1 coming in the new Z06/ZR1 type model coming SOON!

The Direct injection is pretty cool stuff! 1500PSI fuel pressure is not messing around.

Looks too much like a Ferrari to me, but would still look good in my garage next my 03 vette.
