Very cool.
This along with a couple of Cadillacs, is the only thing GM has done right in a long time.

Pretty tight, but IMO, not as good as the previous two generations of corvettes with pop-up headlights. Also, that steering wheel's 4 spoke design is god-awful. Otherwise I would say one sharp looking sports car.

I like the front end. It looks very futuristic (for a domestic sport car that is) and trendy.

However, I still don't like the big butt look of the rear end. I wonder when Chevrolet's going to lose some weight on the Corvette's fat ARS.

Thumbs up

I'm with SC400-V8, the steering wheel looks awkward...but I'm sure that could be changed. Other than that, the new vette is lookin' hot.

VIPER/NSX mix........
Why get this Viper/NSX mix (new Vette) when one can get the real Dodge Viper or Acura NSX.

Still not a radical redesign...i guess if it works...why mess it up too much.....What are the performance specifications for this beast?

Its not a radical redsign? You know GM already completely rehauled the Corvette entirely with the C5. They arent going to build another platform after aroud 7yrs.

Dont quote me but
6.0L 400hp
Pricing is the same
Weight stays the same
Wheelbase is same
Overall length 5in shorter
And it is a little narrower
May have a transaxle

The C6 comes standard with BlueTooth entry (whatever its called)

Hardtop Z06 due out after 2yrs approx 450-500hp (rumor)

For this price the Corvette is a steal, GM invests lots of reasources backing the Vette, and probably loses money on it.

saw the new vette on a tv show...forgot which one. anyway, i wish they kept the old flip lights. i don't like the new front design...

although, i would never be a vette owner, it is like an american icon. they should not have made the new front looking like a japanese car. you know what i mean?
