C7 Corvette Updates/Info

That's the plan! Garage door is 94 inches with the molding, mirror to mirror the car is 85" wide, so about 4.5" of clearance either side, slightly more if I reach out and fold in the driver side mirror. Like I said, #makeitwork. I had trouble with the Altima, popped off both of the end caps on the mirrors, so I'd probably rig up something to help with alignment. Carlo had a really good idea with rubber padding on the floor that I wrote down, in addition to the more typical hanging tennis ball type stuff. It's accounted for

I have a small garage, and though I have a small car, I did park my Dad's Vette in it a lot. I find it easier to back in, especially with a reverse camera. You can use the mirrors themselves to see how close you are to hitting them (as well as the rear hips), then the camera to get in as far as you can.

The Mid-Engine Corvette Probably Won't Get A Manual Gearbox: Report

Of course not, it's all about performance and metrics.

You want fun? Buy a manual Stingray.

If they call it a Corvette Zora, all will be forgiven

[dodint]

Indy, you mean.

[Godson]

Indy, you mean.

Bah-dum-crash!


Nailed it. Not a 'Vette.

[Kchrpm]

If you want to force Corvette purists/historians to accept it, you put the Zora name on there. Zora would have loved it.

But Indy is a good callback, too.

Either way, just make it a separate model.

Posted this in the Misc. thread, but realized this is a more likely the appropriate place.

One of the local Chevy dealers has 68 new Corvettes on the lot, including Z06's (6) and GS's (7). A total of 6 of them are manuals. 6!

Don't you mean a manual GT86?
