C7 Front Bumper Leak

I'm also assuming when you say LT1 and LT4, you're not referring to this or this

Well the most obvious is the LS7 is a 7.0 liter engine.

No,

GM is re-using the codenames for their new upcoming engines....which is kind of a dumb move in my opinion.

Yeah, aside from that...

[PYROLYSIS]

I like this rear end rendering. A lot of Camaro influence.

Sorry I had to do it haha.

I don't think there is much known about the Gen Vs yet. People are guessing what they have but I think that's about it.

God I hope it doesn't look like that, the Corvette should look like a Corvette not a Camaro…

I'm starting to think Chevy might have taken the Camaro design to far with the 130R and 140S and now this Corvette.

I hope not. Corvette's have and always should have round taillights. That's the trademark.

I just don't get why GM keeps recycling the same engine codes. Makes for very confusing discussions sometimes...

I see your point but the Camaro has always been influenced by Corvette. I'm glad we have such a great car to look to for inspiration.

Yeah but that's a not a Camaro. I see a flagship car influencing the lesser models but a lesser car should not influence the Corvette.

Gathered all of this from the Corvette Forum....posted by the guy there who seems to have insider information and seems pretty legit:

LT1 430hp close to current base engine

Base model only for 2014, supercharged 2015

LT4 586hp 2015

7 speed manual - reverse is far right and down

Targa

Quarter windows fixed

Back hatch opens

Heated and cooled seats

Although I do know quality and materials for interior are apparently "best ever "
IMO it is far better than C6, maybe not Cadillac

Just saw black with red stitching

Center stack in interior similar to current but vertical passenger grab handle just to right of Nav unit.

Cluster has large flat screen about 4" high by 6.5" wide centered in middle. Speedo on left side of flat screen (real speedo, not a digital graphic one), on right side of flat screen is fuel gauge upper right , above temp gauge.

Speedo gauge on left like a reverse capital "D" and the right side cluster looks like a capital "D".

DIC is outstanding and Nav Bluetooth is better than Ford Sync.

Steering wheel flat bottom F1 'style

Parking break handle is non existent as far as I can see but looks like it is a switch in center console like a window switch.... Maybe electronic. Just to right of ride control selector. Not sure how it works..

Ride control selector is in same place

Convertible up and down button in same place

LED ambient lighting
LED ambient lighting is sweet.

Back up camera

9 speaker Bose with subwoofer in trunk.
Wireless connection to iPod and some type of charge pad

Cool Stingray logo on fenders.....
Not the script from the past, but an actual emblem of a stylized stingray

Big front grill opening has a middle horizontal bar the color of the paint

Hood vents I saw were black

Crossed flag logo more "V" shaped

Rear bumper "CORVETTE" lettering is not the same color as car

Exhaust improved, dual note exhaust. Tips look exactly like C6

Rear end is noticeably thinner.

Rear taillights do resemble Camaro/ Malibu but VERY angry looking.
They are aware of uproar on tailights and said, " they bitched about fixed headlights on C6 and then got used to it, it will be same with taillights.

BU lights are those thin vertical lights at the bottoms/side of the bumper

Thinner tires are weird when I compare to my '13 427


New from Sept 9:


2014 will be lightest modern corvette in history

No AWD

Vert tunk area same as C6 with slight changes to storage bins

Vette team surprised how good latest Jaloponik renderings are


New from Sept 22, new thread here:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...more-info.html

tires...P285/30ZR19 frt, P235/25ZR20 rear

Front park assist.

Coupe removable roof with optional carbon fibre.

2015 lt4 will be upgrade of camaro zl1 with more hp

Dash similar setup to like xts with cue electronics system.

The supercharged lt4 is a 2015 thing.

hearing that waiting for 2015 is advisable with engineering tweaks etc

Quarter windows are fixed, you can see through quarter windows.

Optional seats, memory, cool, heat, hi performance Recaro.......definitely options

Hood vent unlikely on Lt1 ... For sure on on lt4

Headlights function similar to caddy ....

A lot of effort to cool brakes and lots of ducts for that purpose

will stream music wirelessly and will have apps on the touchscreen?
Like the caddy

True hotrod of C7 will be 2016

and a different shot of the image from earlier, but without the Corvette lettering on the back (which the member from the Corvette forum says it does have)



Not sure what to think.

[CamaroSkooter]

It's still just a computer rendering.

There's no guarantee whether that's even remotely accurate or not.

Not sure what to think.

They must be using CUE then, or something very similar, there is no way they are using MyLink if they said it is better than Ford Sync.....

For the rest I will reserve judgement until I see it in person, I already know I will hate the back end though....

[FenwickHockey65]

MyLink is getting some trickled-down upgrades from CUE.
