Super pumped to get mine too. I place the "order" with my dealer last week. I picked up a convertible ZL1 to go with my '11 GS Vette and then the next day they released all the info on C7.

Dealer took the order and said they could place the electronic confirmation in about a month. Basically said Load It Up - Arrest Me Red and Carbon Fiber everything.

Car looks stunning in the press pics. Ferrari California in front (kinda), Nissan GTR front 3/4 view (kinda to me) and a revamped Camaro ass in the back.

Took the GS to Granatelli Motor Sports about a year ago and was super happy with their Turbo kit install and other mods. ZL1 is there now for new TVS2300 snout upgrade and other their suspension do-bads.

I figured I would leave the C7 Vette alone but I am sure it won't be long before GMS, Lingenfelter and the rest come up withmore go fast parts

My real concern is what engine upgrades will GM offer for the mid '14 and '15 cars? Are we all jumping the gun. I would have thought the base power would be at least 505 to match the Z06. Heck will my ZL1 be faster? My son is waiting to order the '14 Camaro 1LE with the 505 ZR1 Option engine.

If his '14 Camaro whips up on my "14 Vette GM will have a marketing problem. Not from me but the press will have a field day

Seeing as my base C6 beats up on ZL1s, I doubt a base C7 will have much trouble either. :)

Base C6 now runs high 11's, I doubt ZL1's will be able to keep up with a faster model, maybe with top drivers. On the track the weight may just be too much to make up for. It'll be fun to see though.

Interesting. A base C6 vs. base C7... performance/numbers wise... we'll soon see towards the latter part of this year! :thumb:

I'd like to see pics of the Custom Luggage option... that'd be cool with the new :c7: and/or :stingray: insignia/logo... plus if it would match the interior leather.

Thanks Tran. I'll get back to the states by the end of the summer. Becky Doyle has my order. I'm considering either of the 2 blue colors or the cyber grey. Z51 package, manual, with black wheels. I can't wait. I need a new project car. I'm glad to see that Camaro5 is expanding. It is by far the best car forum.

:first: It's good to have you guys over here, too! :stingray: The community is what makes both sites great.

under ELSD in brochure: "and automatically prepare the real axle for corner entry."

Maybe I'm a dummy, but we are talking 'rear' axle (I hope)...
I do hope both axles are 'real' though... haha

For me Cyber grey and Z51 package! Hopefully be able to get one by next Spring...

What exactly would the Valet Mode do?
