I may as well be looking at naked pics of Jessica Alba. I won't get that either.

Hmmm.... I guess I can fit that into my rotation. I'll make it my Thursday car.

Me want.

[Silock]

I was going to buy a C6, but now I'll have to keep saving for a C7

[scho63]

I stopped liking Vette's in the late 80's and really love the Vettes and Stingrays of the late 50's and 60.

This new car just blew me away. I think it's a bold change but for me, it looks incredible and if I could afford a second car like this, I would buy it.

[Red And Yellow]

that stingray I didn't like at first but the more I looked at it just grabs your attention, sure it's gonna cost $80,000 +

[TLO]

Pretty sure I heard the price is supposed to be around 60k.

Here's some more info for ya.

Today is an exciting day for sports car enthusiasts: The new 2014 Corvette Stingray has been unveiled and it looks absolutely amazing! For a lot of people, actually getting behind the wheel of one of these mean machines is just a dream, but for some with a sizable income, the dream could become a reality.

For those who would like to buy a new Corvette, there’s no doubt it will cost a pretty penny. So how much would you pay every month if you got an auto loan for the 2014 Corvette Stingray?
The New 2014 C7 Corvette Is Here

Though 2013 has just begun, it’s not too soon to get excited about the 2014 Corvette Stingray, also known as the C7.

The car, which was unveiled at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, has already been deemed the best model-over-model change in decades. Why? Not only is it gorgeous to look at, but it packs some impressive features:

6.2-liter LT1 pushrod V8 engine
450 horsepower / 450 pound-feet of torque
0-60 in less than four seconds

The 2014 Corvette will come in either the six-speed automatic or new seven-speed Tremec TR6070 manual gearbox. While the EPA has yet to rate it, its base manual transmission is expected to fall into the 16/26 mpg.
Can You Afford an Auto Loan on the Corvette C7?

So now you’re probably asking yourself whether you can afford to get your hands on one. Let’s take a look at what you might pay if you financed the 2014 Corvette with a 20 percent down payment and a good credit score:

Edmunds.com is estimating that the vehicle will cost in the ballpark of $54,000 — a bit more than the base 2013 Corvette coupe 1LT and around the same price as the Ford Shelby GT500.

Auto loan rates today reach as low as 1.75% APR for individuals with good credit. If you make a 20 percent down payment, you’re left financing $43,200.

Using the Go Banking Rates Auto Loan Payment Calculator, if you finance for five years, you’re looking at an average payment of $752.48 per month.

Now, let’s say you stretch the payments out for six years. Your cost will drop down to $632.48 — more affordable, but still costly.

The 2014 Corvette Stingray could be considered affordable by some, but mainly individuals who bring in enough income to cover rent/mortgage payments and other major costs with plenty leftover. There’s no doubt that this car would be a thrill to drive, but before signing on the dotted line, it’s best to be sure you can truly afford its high price tag.

From my understanding they will be priced cheaply compared to past models.. So you will be able to get them cheaper then most sports cars of equal comparison..

When I was little the only sports car I loved were the stingray.. this car is jimp worthy, but sadly, not in my budget..

Beautiful car..

Heh, I don't know what this model is like, but back in the late 80s I worked at a detail shop, and I drove a few C4s and those goddamn things were hard enough to get into when I was young and spry. Can't imagine trying to contort myself into one now.

Very low to the ground.

Pulling out of parking lots,

scrape scrape scrape.

the side lines are butt ugly
and the front end is a restyled viper
it had better handle like a nymphomaniac on extacy,
that means fast easy and sweet,
sound like hell going down the road,m on the outsided
and a concert hall inside

if I had that kind of money I would buy 10 or so 60/s 70/s musclre cars

Exactly.

That kind of money would by you 1 Nice muscle car. In fact, it would by you 1/2 of a show-caliber car.

It would buy you 2 drivers. My '67 is a driver car and it looks sharp as hell from 5 feet away, but it's nothing close to that Vette in performance and at best I'd be able to get 2 of them for the cost of the Vette.

(now comes me shamelessly showing off the Camaro...sorry)



If you're looking for your absolute best performance for your dollar, it's damn near impossible to beat the Corvette. When you don't hand-stitch the leather or use purpose-built key-fobs, suddenly you have a performance machine that can keep up with a $300K exotic that you and I can actually afford to purchase, maintain and fuel.
