I wonder what the 3 price levels are. If it starts at 60,000.00 then it should do well.Maybe mopar might make its new cuda sooner. :smokin: :cheers: :dogpile:

I just attended a Ferrari show over the weekend in Palm Beach, more than once I heard positive conversations on the new C7, and how much they like the look and the similarity to a 599 Ferrari. When you have Ferrari people talking about it, you know GM did a good job.

Wish I had the money to form an opinion. But I do not. It doesn't really matter to me. I like what I own.

Saw one if these today, all black, black wheels, from the back looked like a new GTR made a baby with a new camaro, but regardless, pretty striking, def caught my eye quickly, but let's be honest, a year from now there will be 12 in neighborhood and we won't notice them anymore

Only one I'd consider is the new Z06, but at $100+k, I'd rather have a Viper.

Nice for sure but they are getting too exotic in the styling for my taste. Need to revert back to those 69 body styling

Never been a fan , worked on too many to enjoy them , they finally lost the round taillights & I know the car actually has some performance & handling from the Nurburgring runs , but still will not buy from GM again , had 2 my first & last .

I'm sure it is a very nice handling car. But it looks to me like the designers that crafted the front, did not talk to the designers working on the rear. The front looks like nicely sculpted, soft, aerodynamic lines. The rear is angular with hard, sharp lines. Both styles look good, but for my tastes, not on the same car.
I'd love to drive one, but out of my price range.
