Ill tell you what. The GM people who design the corvette have had 8 years of C6 production time to make the C7. And it better be the end all be all of corvettes. The C6 is still a badass car. I can only imagine what could be better on the C7. Here would be my wishlist.
1. There is entirely too much rubber/plastic around the leading edges of the removable top/doors and windows. I would like to see a much cleaner sealing system for the removable top and side windows that wont show wear within a minute of ownership.
2. The elephant in the room - the inferior.....i mean interior. Its the laughing stock of the world. I dont need real carbon fiber or wood. Just some nice quality materials that feel solid and dont rattle on every crack in the road. I have had two almost brand new vettes, and both cars turned out to be rattle monsters. I have given up on my current car.
3. They NEED to figure out how and why the clutch system needs to be bled daily in the manual cars to stop the clutch from gluing itself to the floor during hard usage. Its almost part of the maintenance now with the C6 to do the fluid swaps. Fucking annoying.
4. Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick - The LS motors are sewing machines at idle and like 2k rpm. Its also very annoying to listen to this.
5. Factory nav. They better have their shit together like Ford does. Im sure it will have their new crap like the other new GM cars have, but it should be even better and more sleek since its a corvette. Who wants to have the same nav system as a volt in your vette??
6. Tunnel heat. Drive a corvette for more than an hour, and your right leg will be baked to a crisp. I cant believe that in the 8 years of production, they couldnt fit a heat shield down there?? This better be a non-issue in the new car.
7. The fob issues. Its a great theory, but bearly works in practice. My car beeps at me all the time thinking the fob is still in the car. Its in my fucking pocket stupid car. And when you are inside the car with it, you get locked in and it wont start if it cant smell it or something. Gay. I just want a real key.
8. popping top. Any C6 at some point will have the removable top popping when you go over bumps. Once again, bad design that they left in play for the entire run of the C6. My 07 did it and my 11 does it. There are no TSBs for the new cars to fix it, just poor attempts from tech that think they know whats wrong. Both my cars have been in several times and nobody has found a fix. You can only slap so much grease on there before you should call it a "no-fix". Not even a bandaid.
9. They better keep the NPP/dual mode exhaust. Its dope, and works well.
10. Make hud standard. Thats a trademark corvette feature, and I still dont have it on my $60k 2LT Grand Sport????
can't wait!
