Nice brakes!!

IMHO, the rear fenders look kind of funny?
Otherwise a great looking car, easier to regconized than the old C5 Z06.

GO CHEVY!!!! That looks awesome, I am sure the performance will back it up! Kudos to Chevy for making the new C6 better than ever.

I saw a black one on the freeway and I actually tailed him for a look. What a car. I could rock this new vette.

How did you find C6 Z06 pictures already, Sexy? That car is not supposed to be unveiled for at least another month....at the January Detroit show. I guess somebody leaked them out to the Internet.

Awesome. If they can price it around $55K, even better. If I had the cash and needed/wanted a new car, I would be very tempted to hit it.

This thing is gonna chew through (or at least keep a very respectable pace with) exotics costing 2, 3, or even 4 times more.

What makes me really sad is that for $50K Toyota could probably engineer and deliver a car with similar performance if they wanted to.

I think Sexy sleeps with high ranking female officals for car companies fin exchange for pics. Great pics dude.

Woah woah woah, I've been on Corvette forums waiting for some official Z06 pics to come out and I've seen a lot resembling this. Are these truly OFFICIAL or is there some speculation here as well...I'm with mmarshall, these shouldn't be out yet for another month, what's the scoop, and PLEASE tell me these are official. I'm gonna go over to my Vette forum and poke around.
