Yep.

This car will address the interior issues and some other nits.

It will be badass and hopefully be as reliable as the C5 and C6.

That was the main issue with the C6 that people constantly complained about.

The C6 ZR1 is one of my personal favorites and has a special place in my heart because the fastest I've ever gone in a car in my life was in one (170ish mph). I also just love the sound of the LS9 and the raw Americanness about it. No stupid paddle gearbox and a classic pushrod V8.

They seem to have remedied the interior issues by offering two different high end seats and redesigning the interior with more leather. They have more competition from Viper now also since the just stepped up their game with their new SRT.

Also, this Vette has automatic rev-matching on downshifts and has a larger 7th overdrive gear for fuel economy. I'm so happy they didn't put a dual clutch automatic in it!
