So I wouldn't expect to see a DI LS engine in the Camaro till 2014 at the earliest. I really hope they base the C7 off of the Stingray concept. That thing is down right nasty.

I hope GM learns the lesson that if they build a car as closely as the loved concept, they will come..The stingray concept is as doable as the Camaro concept was.. Keep it as close and it will sell..

GM needs to market the crap out of the new corvette and having it featured in Transformers 3 will make sure its a hit.. Unless of course it is an afterthought character that you see in the film for 2 minutes...The design needs to stay true to the concept stingray which is a very sexy design or keep it very close.. For those that hate the singray design can stick with their C6 Vette..
