If the M4 ends up looking substantially like this, I'm all over it. |

Different cars here people. Pure full-tilt sports car vs. more conservative upright 2+2 sports coupe. Both hot, both appealing but the M4 will still feel more refined and the Vette will still be the better pure performer. The distinction will certainly be less than the current gen of the two cars, however.

The new M3/M4 will have 450 HP and 400 ft lbs of torque. Yes, it will weigh 300-500 lbs more but it will be equipped with the big game changer....DCT. Put a comparable DCT in the C7 and look the F out. That thing would be sickening. |

Ditto the DCT comment, I've always imagined a c6 z06/zr1 with a DCT...they would do some damage for sure. Lightweight, instant torque, super fast shifting = ftw.
V8tt with DCT in the next C7 Zed = gg |

I'll probably like it eventually, but after seeing these pictures....not so sure. I was initially impressed at the unveiling, but now think it looks quite futuristic and at the same time might not age well. I'm usually one to adopt new models, but still prefer the looks of the C6 at this point.

The video posted in this thread is quite informative and the close up pictures of the seats and interior clearly shows what a drastic improvement Chevy has made with the C7 in that regard. There is a good possibility that I will eat my words when I said I would never own another gOV Motors car again. |

I think the Chevrolet fellows have taken the gloves off ... the rest of the industry best be on guard ... some of the former clientele may move to the other side ...
Check it out ---> The new Stingray unless you seen it Also Jay Leno had his first look and drive around the block Video below Enjoy ... once the video is up go to the lower right corner and put it on full screen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=rKrQrAn_hNA I will wait for the ZR-1 version before I make any plans to change ,,, meanwhile I shall enjoy my ///M3

Also how is DCT a big game changer? Its been around for 5 years. The Aventador's Graziano transmission shifting at 50 ms is a game changer |

Pay attention -- the game changer (i.e difference) between the C7 and the M3 is that the M3 HAS a DCT trans and the C7 DOES NOT. It's been that way since 2008-09. The comment wasn't meant to say that the DCT is new....anyone with a lick of common sense knew what I mean by the comment. |

It's cool to see that the c7 will have the "rev match" feature on MT cars. As far as I know, the 370z was the only other vehicle to offer this. Never driven one, but it seems like a very cool feature.
One think I think the c7 misses on though is that the rev match toggle is done by paddles on the steering wheel. What is the point of that? It should have simply been a button near the shifter instead of paddles on the steering wheel which can be inadvertently hit. Seems like a big design flaw. |

The rear reminds me of Transformers.

I've been looking at some of the real-world pics and the video from arizona... is it just me, or is the wheel to fender gap much larger on the street cars??? It looks like the real world models have 3-4 inches of gap above the wheel. The show cars have a mean-looking 1 inch gap?
I hope this is not how it's going to be! The car will look so much better "hunkered down"! |
