I still don't understand all the people complaining about the dual clutch gearbox....sure it might deliver .5 MPG better or shift so many milliseconds quicker.....who cares?
For many of us it is about the driving experience and feeling like you are connected to the car. Nothing gives you that feel of power and control like power shifting a short throw shifter coming out of a turn.

At least this one stayed on Corvettes...that is incredible 
Again, not saying I agree with it, but I know what they're talking about when they say it;

No ****, but it needs that type of clutch to operate that type a trans....so back at ya 
If you think you can row the gears as fast as that trans can your a fool.....and when is extra traction not good????
Shorting shift times = better acceleration
Traction = better acceleration/better handleing
The only downside would be extra weight.
Now if they got real with makeing the car light say less than 3000lb then that would be awesome also.

Interesting that you feel the need to feel insulted so quickly. You are the one that brought up the mirrors. I was just curious why you assumed them to be using C5ish morriors on the production C7 from that picture. Let's assume that the C7 mirrors would hint at the lines of the production car, we were out doing preproduction testing, and actively trying to hide the styling of the car; wouldn't it be logical to use a mirror that did not give anything away.
BOSS APPROVED!
