Corvette's side mirrors are HIDEOUS. The whole car is sharp and stylized and the mirrors look bulbous and unsharp. they should make the mirros more like that on the F430. not so round and more " defined and edgy".

for the $$, you can;t beat the vette, great power, brakes etc.

I would imagine it has something to do with not having buyers?

I have heard Z06 sales are brisk. On the contrary the Caddy XLR and XLR-V can't be given away.

C6 Z06 sales were great at the beginning and through 2006, and the dealers took full advantage of the hype machine. I heard one of the dealers here in Vegas had a waiting list almost 100 deep at release, which is pretty shocking. Well, this city is rather uncultured anyway, I guess. But sales have dropped off a lot this year, and they're under MSRP in most areas of the country (I heard this summer that CA dealers are still doing OK, though). A friend of mine said one of the dealers in town had two Z06 on the floor when he was looking to buy one.

EDIT: Also, speaking of the XLR and XLR-V's dismal sales, aren't they planning on putting the ZR1 engine into those models as well?

Thanks for posting this Seize. Love that grunty "mean business" sound of that ride. Here's another one of my faves but it's an APS TT Vette for sale. (Taken from the Vette forum.)
