I don't know if anyone else saw it but the Discovery channel aired their "Building the C6 Corvette" show tonight, finally. They filmed the show from two perspectives. Behind the scenes of C6 testing, before anyone had seen it, and behind the scenes of Jim Dunne trying to get a good photo for around 50K, which was the offered magazine amount for the first good frontal picture.
Well this show was supposed to be about the Vette but someone must have forgot to tell Dunne. They were filming him from his car in front of the Gm plant taking pics of various GM vehicles while waiting for the Vette to come out. Driving down the road, right in front of the main GM gate, comes the spotted white Mustang! Dunne went nuts and took off after it, swerving around a truck to get at it! He stops in front of the Mustang at a red light and says, "I got your "butt*" He got out of the car and took a few pics and when the light turned the Mustang roared out of there. When Dunne got back in the car he remembered he was supposed to be looking for the C6. He just said O well! Now where hasn't the Mustang popped up?!!!
* edited word!

Hey, Brian, where'd you see it? I saw a red one in Orange Park a few weeks ago, and it was AWESOME.
Yeah, I saw the show tonight, and was gonna post a topic on it in the morning if nobody else commented on it tonight. That was a great show, and seeing the Mustang made my eyes really widen.
It was funny how he just stepped right out of the car into the street and starting snapping pictures. I would've been all stealthy about it. Not him! He just walked to the back of the car and held the camera to his face and started snapping away! That would be an awesome hobby. Especially to get paid $50k for a few pictures! :headbang:

My uncle has been working on the C6 project since day one 
Running into those used to be rare in this area.. now.. pretty common.. so common that I thought they were out already.
Anyone know when the show is gonna be on again.. or what the show is called? I'd like to check it out.

Those are my wheels on the Vette! - nice!!
Yes, the Vette looks nice on the road, but I would never pay that kind of money for one. Not in this stage of my life anyway!
Mustang for me, thank you!
I haven't driven a C6 yet, but I can tell you the C5 was way overrated.
