2008 Chevy Corvette revealed with new 6.2L LS3 V8 and up to 436 hp
|
so does this mean we will be beable to pick up '05-'07s cheap since they are "underpowered" like the 350 GTO?

I was hoping GM would change the headlights. I'm not a fan of the current style headlights. |
I like that there is an exhaust option that is louder AND adds 6 more hp!....that would be cool to have on a Mustang....Performance exhaust....check!

Gawd that interior's bad. Say what you will about the 'Stang's interior, but a car that costs that much shouldn't have an interior from the 1990s.

It doesn't look that bad - other than the hideous center console armrest! It just isn't good either. If not for the Corvette badges, I wouldn't know what GM car it was in. But... I'm willing to say that if Ford offered a 450+ HP car with a similar interior treatment for over $40k, the faithful would forgive Ford because the engine/straight line performance would make up for it. Waitaminit... (cough)(whisper *GT500*)

He could be referring to how the Vette's threads stack up to similarly priced competitors, like the Cayman's interior represented in the pic below.

:flame: J, you're right on as usual. The Cayman's light-years past the 'Vette, in more ways than one. |

The GT500's roots are in a $20K car, though, there's only so much better matierials and badges can do. The 'Vette, on the other hand, is a from-stratch over-$40K car. Its interior should be at least competetive with other cars in that price range, but as I said it looks like a warmed-over Subie from 8 years ago. And how will that interior look when you're paying $80-100k for SE 'Vettes??
J, you're right on as usual. The Cayman's light-years past the 'Vette, in more ways than one. Yeah, the Vette brings a lot more power to the table, but somehow I don't think a guy accustomed to the level of quality found in the interior of Mercedes or Audi sedan is going to be happy when he drops is rear into a Vette. And this is one of the many reasons Porsche continues to sell cars and can continue to ask more money for them..which brings me back to my original point. The fact that Chevy still doesn't understand the massive change a 2k dollar bump in msrp could bring to the Vette's interior, and through this to the cars image and appeal worldwide, serves as notice that GM still has a long way to go in many respects including their understanding of why their cars don't sell as well as they could or should.. |
So spend $5k more for a 245 hp Cayman.

some people don't car about interior quality. I buy a car for performance alone and am very budget minded.
The interior does not help my car go foward backward left or right any better. I could care less if it is made outta soft leather or plywood. Only things needs in the interior that are worth doing somthing with is the seat, and steering wheel. |

Only things needs in the interior that are worth doing somthing with is the seat, and steering wheel. For example I like several cars which possess interiors that could stand improvement....in those cars I can overlook certain shortcomings because I think other areas make up for it or because overall the car is well executed. And like everybody else I also happen to like what I like. But this growing notion that all that should really matter to anyone in a performance car is outright speed is simply ridiculous. I also believe a great many people who claim that they don't care about anything other than performance often experience an abrupt change of opinion when they have to live with their decision on a daily basis. I say this based on personal experience and simple market realities. For example... If this wasn't the case the market for the Z06 would not have declined as abruptly as it has so soon in that models lifespan. |
