Dear Sir,

My name is Mike xxxxxxx and I'm the xxxxxxx of Broadcast Communications for General Motors.

I've noticed that you have one of GM's embargoed photographs of the 2005 Corvette on your website. Since this image is embargoed until January 10, 2005, I am asking that you remove the image from your site until the embargo is lifted. While I don't expect you to tell me who provided you with the image, I am wondering if you would tell me if you received the image before Noon on Tuesday, November 9.

If there is any confusion regarding usage of GM's embargoed images or if you would like to discuss the situation with me, I can be reached through
email, or by phone at 313-665-xxxx. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Mike xxxxxxxx

gonna be a contenduh

[M-technik-3]

Sure is, big numbers here. It shall rock.

[Jand3rson]

Hot damn! That's a pretty car.

[Jon325i]

There was a show on Speed about the development of the new Vette. Lots of good stuff has gone into that car. Clearly GM has been taking some good notes during all those sports car racing events they participated in. This next one is going to kick some butt.

just the basic C6 is a damn bargain, 400hp for $45k or so

[hamann318is]

I'm definitely not a Corvette fan. The only American cars I really did like were the Dodges/Plymouths of the 60s/70s.

Looks better than the other vette, I suppose.

Bitchin'.

[Matt86es]

Bad ASS!

That thing looks so mean! The numbers are amazing, too. I really think that the Corvette is trying to compete on a global scale, for a fraction of the price.

I wouldn't buy it. Those things crack!



(For the satire-challenged, this post was meant as a joke...)

[clutterbucker]

Meh, they all suck. Forget American cars. The checy flagship car wieghs 3150 fucking pounds?? That's ridiculous.

[M-technik-3]

Hmm street 2800 lb e30 with 150 whp or 3200lbs car with 500 crank Hp? simple guess there.

[clutterbucker]

Yah...what's the price difference again? And is the E30 a flagship for BMW right now? No. I would take the new (posisbly twin turbo) M3 over a Z06 anyday.
