Just so you guys know these pics have been around a few weeks.
From DigitalCorvettes.com
GM had two goons - Mr Duran and Mr Chiros arrive on my doorstep this evening. They carried with them a folder of evidence. Seems they think I stole their property by posting the copy of a link on a forum with a question "Is this old C6 news". The gentlemen were not satisfied with my answer that "I simply posted a link I found". And left me with this comment".
General Motors will not let this lie - and we will spend millions of dollars to prove a point. Nice guys we are dealing with hey. So I guess I am off to secure a lawyer tomorrow.
Yep, he wasn't joking! The proof!!!

I don't like the side scoops or hood scoop. They look out of place on the C6.
They should add the rear brake ducts like they did with the C5 ZO6.
The new C6 is HOT! The new Corvette would not be allowed to be sold in Europe with the pop-up headlights (pedestrian regulations coming out...no protruding things from the front of the car). Bob Lutz wants to sell the C6 in Europe.
