[DeTomaso] NPC: Finally saw a 2014 Corvette

[Tom Shinrock]

 My neighbor drove his new, white 2014 vette home about 2 weeks ago.  I saw him turn the corner onto our street from a block away and for an instant I thought it was a Gallardo.  He parked it in his driveway and I went over to take a close look.  I got to say I was impressed.  He got the 10K interior upgrade option and he let me sit in it and start it up.  He opened up the rear hatch which I thought put some good utility into the car.

I'm not particularly big on white but with the black grill on the hood, the black grills in the rear quarters and the black accents around the taillights and exhaust tips I thought it looked good.  I agree that black would not look good.

He said he ordered in from the local dealer in early October and was told he wouldn't get until February.   The dealer called him up after 3 weeks and said his car was in which surprised him.

I'm not in the market for a new performance car, but if I was, I'd seriously consider getting at 2014 vette.

I saw a white 2014 Corvette yesterday, first impression from far away and approaching from the rear was....the back end looks cool, not like a camaro at all as the photos suggested to me.


The side profile was pretty much the same, the front looks a bit like the last generation (current Viper)
The rear 3/4 view forward is really nice, the more angular and less rounded lines ares the most evident from this vantage.


For 60K and the stated performance, great value for the money.


I wouldn't buy it in either white or black, it needs a color.
