I agree that they could have made more than 450hp, but that 5.0 is strung out to its limits ,there really isn't much more you can do besides spray and forced induction. the 6.2 motors are just chuggin along at 426 LS3, and 450 LT1, friend has a stock 2010 SS and had it tuned up on a 93 octane tune and made 413rwhp over 374rwhp before tune.

Well, I saw, touched, and gazed @ the 2014 Stingray in person @ Sebring International Raceway this past weekend.
All I can say is,..it looks BETTER in person.
Gives me great hope to imagine what the GS/Z06/ZR1 models will look like with ground effects/aero and wider fenders/wheels.
Things I don't like...
it appears to have a high front end....like it maybe should have a chin spoiler possibly, or maybe it was just the way it was sitting in the grass.
The other, I think the wheels need to be wider in rear(like ALL GM VEHICLES)...but, fortunately, that will happen on the higher end models.
I have pics... will get to them at some point to upload em.
Interior is sick...the back, to me, looks sick as well. Big crowd around it all the time.
WOO.

7 pages and no one talks about the inability to tune them? I was told that gm s tired of all the warrantee work from altered pcm's. So the lt1 will take a dealer key and then an active call to gm to get the second key to be able to tune the pcm. So , basically no aftermarket parts......no tuning.......these are staying stock except for probably ridiculous tuner cars like callaway. I bet changing a wheel or tire will be difficult.

At first I was a bit questioning, but I'm absolutely in love with the new C7 now.
Even if people don't agree with me, it would definitely be a car to consider. It'll be interesting to see how the modding pans out with the supposed limits on the tuning

Whats funny is how everyone thinks an ECM being locked,..will stop modding.
What about piggy backs? Motec/AEM/FAST/MegaSquirt/etc?
Outside the box my friends. Have no worries, these cars will be modded, one way or the other. Just like piggyback lambos, vipers, etc...

It won't stop the mods from being produced and people from purchasing them and trying them out

If anyone gets one local, we'll try and build a single turbo kit for it, if they'll let us.
Worry about the tune later. lol.... or just build it, pull it off, then wait until a piggy back is available or until tuning is. Have you seen under the hood?LOTS OF ROOM,....no power steering pump(ots electric)....and the radiator tilts forward instead of leaning back. Only thing I see in the way on the drivers side, is the ebcm, which is in the way in my car as well, or was. I have pics, it looks pretty wide open.
But yea, tuning won't be far behind bro. Give it a little.
