Nice tastful updates. I had a chance to ride in one not too long ago, and it is a blast! Nothing like a 500+HP V8......................alright, maybe a 500+ V10 or V12 isn't so bad either

New wheels look similar to those on the GT3.

I'm not a fan of the fact that the new 08 c6 Vettes have similar wheels to the 06-07 Z06's, though the Z06 wheels are MUCH better looking than those on the 08 C6's.

Nice updates on the new 09 Z06.

Most VIPER guys hate Corvettes, but I love the Z06. With wheels and loweing those fenders look sooo hawt.

Interesting, but I'm surprised to hear they added the acoustic package which was intentionally left out for weight savings. I guess they figured saving 40 pounds wasn't worth the extra noise? Same for the electric hatch assist... that's extra weight and in my opinion not weight well spent... at least not nearly as well spent as some extra noise control.

I especially like how the Z06's v-8 has been making about as much power as the Viper's v-10. I really thought it was going to be a displacement war for years to come until they announced Vipers will not be produced anymore.
