It looks like an RX8 and a new viper combined. Meh, im not a huge corvette fan.

I think it looks alot like the Enzo. Watch the new revolution commercial from Chevy on TV. It looks good, I'd buy one, not only that but father&inlaw works for GM so I get a good discount.

I just saw that. I like how that made tha car get on the tralier backwards at the end.
But I like the new look of the vette.

The headlights change the look of the car completely. I'm glad they ditched the hidden headlights.

Werd. I think the new headlights kinda look like Ferrari 360s for some reason. Ive never been a big vette fan but I like that body.

Plus the new Z06 variant is said to put out around 500 hp, and there ain't nothin' wrong with that.

It is a dodari, (dodge/ferrari) I can't stand when car companys copy their compition.

nice car... I have seen the ad a few times, and it looks really good.

I think it looks pretty good, just not a very original design. Also, the rear needs to be lowered about 2 in.


I'm alot more interested in the new replacement motors for the LS1/6, supposedly 3v/cyl. and variable valve timing(a first for a OHV motor). Should really be able to move. :)

i think it looks great, the front reminds me of a 360/nsx combo, and the rear looks more "modernized"

overall i think its an improvement.

whoa i think that looks sick especially the new headlights. I'd still buy import tho but eh id think about it.

Nice styling....particularly the treatment around the rear wheel arches and the back of the car. Those four round taillights are trademark Vette all the way. The headlights are very different than anything seen on a Vette before....but its not overkill stuff either, like when Porsche first introduced the 996 with their headlight redesign.

If the C6 chassis remains largely unchanged from the C5 (retain transaxle set up), this should be a very capable performer. I'm sure Chevy has learned a lot about suspension set up and chassis dynamics since the C5 has been heavily campaigned in ALMS. They say racing improves the breed :D

So what are the specs on that LS2 motor anyway???

Spec on motor are

Aluminum Block and Head
6.0 Liters
OHV, 2 vales per cylinder
Bore is 4"
Stroke is 3.62"
Compression Ratio is 10.9:1
400 HP @ 6000 RPM
400 Tourque @ 4400 RPM
67 HP per liter
Max RPM 6500

There is an article in the newsest Motor Trend about it. Looks NICE in my opinion. Plus it has magnetic selective ride control suspension. This means you can pick what mode you want the car to handle in, either sport or touring. The Z06 version is suposed to be shown at the March auto show.

It's kind of funny that you posted a link to pics as I was looking for some yesterday and couldn't find any. Guess I didn't look hard enough. :roll:
