I might have to do a stingray version of this thing





I think it got the better steering wheel I personally think that side scoop is rediculously small. almost as if someone said lets put it on and see if anyone notices because we're not sure it's cool or not.

More pics and info at serious wheels

Incredible, but the interior needs a ton of work.

THe rear sccops do look tacked on! Also what did someone decide "we really need bigger fenders, someone go get a baseball bat I can round these out!"

Car looks great as it is IMO. None of the scoops are tacked on. Front Fenders are Carbon Fiber as well. I'm waiting to see pricing on this thing .... B)

ahhh at the 75k mark you finally break free from the malibu steering wheel. Its a good car at its core, but for some reason, anything GM does never comes out looking quite 'right'. :scratch: Ive seen a few C6's now up close. GM needs to fire EVERYBODY on the design staff, every single one.

kevinb120,

Watch this video of a Holden HSV sedan. Holden is owned by GM.

I'm glad it doesn't have retro styling. That wouldn't be good for aerodynamics. The 911 is the Corvette's main competitor. It has become much more of a luxury car over the past several years though. The once wild 911 Turbo has an optional automatic transmission now.

The hood scoop is functional.

Best info on the Z06 is here.

You know what would make the new Corvette look a lot better? If they would just black out the headlight areas that are underneath the headlight covers. IMHO, this would make the front end look a lot better....

I still think its one ugly *****' , but If I had the money I'd get one... The Z06 is hands down the best performance buy in this universe or the next, bar none.

If only the Ford GT was in that price range.
