And so it should sir. My so. And I had a good poke around a C7 at a friendly Chevrolet dealership in Mason Ohio. Lovely thing and great noise. All kinds of yes please!

Many thanks, Mark

This is the worst "I've got a Corvette C7 Grand Sport" post, ever - but this article makes me happy that this lives in my garage...! -

She looks pretty good to me - love the bonnet bulge.

They are mega expensive here in Australia. Check out their prices on carsales.com.au. Unbelievable!!

Could be wrong here but isn't that because they legally have to be converted to RHD? Import taxes etc, then that on top.

I can't feel for the C7 as anything other than a good car after some seat time on the road and on track. OK so some of the build quality isn't as rigid as ''superior'' cars (the steering wheel, switch gear and the engine cover which flexed when you prodded it spring to mind) but it'd be ignorant to look past what they offer.

I've always had a soft spot for corvettes, I only have a C4 but the only reason I didn't look at a C7 when buying my last car is that due to the conversion required to get them here in Australia, the prices are disproportionately more (Anywhere from $200k upwards which simply didn't feel worth it).

executed correctly, I think the next gen Corvette will have some SERIOUS potential if not loosing a bit of its DNA in the switch to mid-engine - it seems GM are conceding that they've pushed it as far as they can in the current layout.

No if only they would make them RHD. Having driven a LHD car for an hour in the uk it’s a pita and not a compromise I would put up with as 99% of my driving is uk based.

Hopefully with the engine moving to the back there will be more room to offer a RHD version.

I'm (not) extremely offended by the sledging of American cheddar in this article. Tillamook, Cabot etc. That stuff is delicious, will stand up to anything made in the UK and can be found in any supermarket.
