No more Hide-a-way headlights, looks like something Italian from the front, very nice, wonder what the sticker will be?

Front looks more Viper-ish to me than the C-5

But then, I always thought the C-5 looked like a Ferrari copy anyway

The C-6 does have the bigger shark gills, though. Nice to see them come back so prominently; even if they are copying themselves.

GM, never the leader always the follower

I SAW THE SAME COMMERCIAL. THAT THING LOOKS KILLER! I ALSO THINK IT LOOKS KINDA LIKE THE NEW VIPER, BUT SEEMS LOWER AND WIDER. I SHOWED THE WIFE THE COMMERCIAL AND SHE SAID "OH GREAT, LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GETTIN A NEW CAR". AT LEAST SHE KNOWS WHATS IMPORTANT...MY HAPPINESS. LATER, DAVE

I just spoke to the owner of the local Chevy dealership, he says the first one he will get will be in Oct. 04, Chevy will unvale this badboy next weekend at the Detroit autoshow, no word on pricing yet but you can bet it will be sticker or more. Start saving those pennies guys.

It's 5 inches shorter cause they lost the old Vette frame and put it on a Cadillac frame, the 2 dr convertible frame, forget the model name. The 5 inches came off the front, so the wheels up front are closer to the bumper.

The standard motor was an option on previous years, at about 40% lighter than the LS6. Thats amazing cause that ain't no heavy motor to start with. It's a 6.0 litre now.

We had something last week in paper saying the sticker would start at $45,000 or so. Not bad. The Caddy's are made at the same plant so they save some money using the same parts in places.

No keys either. Just waive a wand thingy to het in and to start, tho you have to push a start button. No more keys to lose...niiiiice!

I saw the new Vette at the Detroit auto show on a couple of days ago.

400 HP, 400 ft-lb, 6 L.

Great car.

Fiberglass/balsa composite floor, carry over from C5 Vette

Beko, I've got the 1st one reserved at one of the local Chevy dealerships here. He said he'd sell it at sticker to me.

Guess' I should come over to work for YOUR GE business!... $$!! We poor bastards @ Fleet only get to buy cool cars for other people! :D Last week: 2 BMW 745's, a 911 Cab, CLK500, Audi S4 Cab, M3, 2 C5 Vettes... warms my heart to see the economy turning around! ;) Anyway, CONGRATS! I'm sure you probably already have a hook-up for your new C6 (you should be able to get it @ (at least) GM-"S" pricing...) But if you do need any "aircover" - let me know, I'm in GE PHONE. Best, Jason :cool:
