Maybe I am just a domestic guy but I don’t mind the black interior you just posted at all. I would totally drive a C6 or C7 vette. ---

You don’t buy a sports car for the interior, but you might NOT buy one because of it. X… ---

I was really impressed with the C6 interior. maybe it just does not look good in pictures? I don’t understand part of the new C7 gauge cluster though. after 7000rpm you reach N is that metric or something? ---

That new C7 interior is quite nice…the C6 interior doesn’t do anything for me at all… And yes, I’m pretty sure the N stands for neutral, as it looks to be a gear indicator…or the Corvette is just telling you N for no after 7500 RPM… ---

I’m just waiting for these to hit the streets so people stop running their mouths about them lol. In a way, I was hoping that I didn’t like the C7 so I’d be happier with my C6, but yeah…I want one 🙂 ---

Most of the people who bash the Corvette spend thousands and thousands to try and get their heaps anywheres near the capabilities of a base Vette.

Well yeah, higher MPGs benefit fleet economy. But beyond putting it in as a fuel economy gimmick does it benefit the vehicle / driver in any way? ---
