This is the last you’ll see of the V7 for a while. Finished literally an hour or two before it disappeared into the transporter on the way west, the car is currently partially disassembled and being sorted further. We expect changes in spring rate, some hearty engine tuning, maybe another wheel offset or two, and certainly wheel alignment now that its weight has settled sufficiently to attempt meaningful and lasting adjustments. Wanna find out how it really works? Wanna find out what 1,000 large really feels like? Wanna see those Michelin balonies disappear in smoke? Round 2 begins with an instrumented road test.

Bonafide car lush GM Design Chief Kip Wasenko has a crush on the mid-engine Coupe. “That year is my favorite.” Then he put his money where his mouth was.

Long, low back accentuates the V7’s ample ground clearance, bulbous bodywork and puts chubby, churlish 30-series Michelins in the right perspective.
