Kinda liking the 2014 C7 Corvette......

Recommended Posts

Exactly, over the years I've never really liked them, I mean they look nice but nothing that makes me want one. This one on the other hand has me drooling.... well more than I normally do anyways..... ;)

Life does not always give you what you want, but it usually gives you what you need.

What do you guys think, improvement or not??



Looks like an attempt to cure thousands of cases of man-opause:ph34r:


Due to cost, this one is meant to cure only hundreds..:ph34r:

I'm not a Vette fan, but I do like the looks of that one.

I haven't been that wild about them since the 1967 model. The small bodies were so much better. 1968 was ok. After that, they were too big to be sporty.
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Well, it is growing on me, and as soon as one is available to test drive, that's what I'll do.

I don't plan on getting a 2014, though. I bought a 2005 (the first year of the c6), and I don't want another first-year version of a new generation, even if having one of the first ones on the street was fun, though, before they became almost commonplace. I actually watched someone walk into a tree while checking it out. :D

I'll let them work out the inevitable bugs first.

Heh. Bring it out here to Colorado when you buy one! If you let me drive your Corvette on the Longmont to Estes Park to Longmont loop, I'll let you drive my Nismo on the same route! B|



I've driven that road.... in a rental.... at night.... for the first time. :S

Meh. That road isn't so bad. I had never driven a mountain road with hairpin turns until I had to drive this one...at night...due to the Pacific Coast Highway be shutdown due to a washout:

I went into a 4-wheel skid at the first hairpin, and stopped about 2 feet short of going over the edge.:S:o

Except for the Camaro ass, and the weak interior, it's a sweet whip.
Never been a big fan, but I like them.



The 'Camaro Ass' is the first thing I noticed...not that it looks bad, just hate to have someone behind you think you're driving a high school cheer-leaders car...

Especially when ya paid all that 'small dick & big wristwatch' money! :S

It was my first foray into the Rockies, but yeah it wasn't that bad. The scariest road was when I was stoopid enough to let GPS unit take me from Blackhawk out onto an unpaved road to Idaho Springs, with thousand foot drops and no guard rails. It was daytime and it still scared the shit out of me. My wife even saw a wrecked car hundreds of feet below over the edge. :S

Yes, we used to put up guard rails, but the damned tourists kept knocking them down, so it became too expensive.:D

Here's the deal, if your driving down the road in a CorVette there's no doubt in anyone's mind what your driving. They are iconic in the USA as an American Muscle car. On the other hand if your driving a Bughatti Veryon down the road, no one in America is going to know for sure what the car is. That's the difference, BIG difference! Well that and the fact that the Veryon costs $400,000.00 more than the CorVette.
