vette assembly line inspector " why in the world did you put fake woodgrain on the dash and crank windows in this vette" me= :dunno:
:eek4:
ok… well i saw one in person in west newton of all places on the way to the garage… the body lines around the fenders on the internet look real drastic and they aren’t in real life… it’s like a wanna be nsx / modena… not a bad looking car.
…what about 97-02???
you mean you saw a regular C6 right?
ya, thats what i was assuming
i don’t give a fuck what it was…
i saw a new body style corvette.
I agree that it is ugly.
agreed. if u dont like the base C6, you wont like the C6 Z. its basically the same. but i also agree w/ u in that they do look better in person than they do on the computer. but at the same time, so do the C5s, and they still look alot better than the C6s in my opinion.
whats the official hp on it? I like it. It’ll grow on everybody.
- atleast thats what the GM badges had in their multi-media panphlet. but i heard some ppl now sayin 505. but whatever 5hp doesnt mean much.
it’s slightly underrated, whereas GM stated the “Race” version puts out 512hp. And they did not do any real detuning for the production version of the LS7. So, 500-512hp is the best guess.
Either way, no big diff, but I tell you what, I love that car.
well you def didnt see a new Z06 in person on the road. And yes, the regular C6, and Z06 do have different body panels
Z06 has bigger fenders, diff front bumper, diff hood etc
LS7 - Corvette + RX-7 = yes
C6 Z06 > most everything out
cant really argue with that one. If someone would have told you 5 years ago that in 5 years the new Z06 would have a 7.0L 500hp motor, the Viper would have 500hp as well, and the Cobra Mustang can be hitting 500hp with the addition of less than ~$1000 in parts, you would have told them they were fucking crazy. :bigthumb:
car market is getting very interesting… muscle car era 2, except the imports are joining in too
although It’s pretty safe to say the new 07 Shelby Cobra, should be over 500hp at the flywheel, probably underrated like crazy like the 03/04 was.
I do not expect Dodge to take this lightly with the new Cobra, and Z06, matching/exceeding the Viper’s HP.
Shelby and SVT said, the 2007 Shelby Cobra, will be the fastest straight line vehicle made for that year, and still put down close to 1g on the skid. So who knows.
the new Z06 is rumored to put down well over 1g, and hit mid 11’s. Which is Ford GT, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Murcielago, and Porsche Carrera GT territory.
