Similar wheels to the MT convetable concept, similar power, similar fender bulges, plus it goes along with other information givn In this thread (http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=88248) ie:the lights in the fender.
Anyone else see the connectioni?
RiceEating5.0 03-03-2003, 10:06 PM The round lights point at a vette too.
When will we see official pictures of the c6?

Did I miss the punchline, or is that just the same ol' Snoopy-Schnozz i.e. SS concept?
GT
I bet the engine is the new Vette engine. I hope none of the SS front makes it to the Vette, its more 2nd Gen camaro than Vette

Don't think so my friend.
Chuck! 03-04-2003, 12:28 AM I thought it was a little more of a cross between
This (http://home.mindspring.com/~mejones/corvette/history/82CollectorsEdition.jpg)
and
This (http://www.geocities.com/wndrlama/update/poop.jpg)
And to edit this before someone gets all pissed off, no I dont think the C6 will look like that when it comes out, but the MT concept definitely has lack of appeal.
guionM 03-04-2003, 10:15 AM I see I'm not the only one who sees this. :D

Wow I had to look at that while I was eatting.:rolleyes:
Z28Marcus 03-04-2003, 01:00 PM Here we go again :). That's NOT a vette. If that *was* a hint of C6 vette and vettes to come, I sure wouldn't be buying one. I'd keep my C5. For starters the horizontal Chevrolet grille bar is just not right for the vette at all. Uglier than a bulldog chewing on a hornet.
jg95z28 03-04-2003, 01:41 PM For the last time... IT'S A CHEVELLE ;)
Maybe its just me but Chevy's new crossbar grill or whatever you call it is about the UGLIEST thing. I haven't seen one car that is looks good on. Maybe its just me.

99SilverSS 03-04-2003, 04:54 PM Ahhhhhh noooooo! Thats not even close!
Antz97ZNJ 03-04-2003, 06:25 PM Thats the SS concept, not a c6. It packs alot of power but also weighs a ton...cant wait to see the c6 on the streets

:metal: :metal:
Side note.I think what he/they are pointing to is that is the design route they will take the C6.

Or two. ;)
Burmite 03-04-2003, 09:01 PM Thanks for the comment 99SilverSS! That much relieves my nerves about the looks of the C6. At least now we have some inside confirmation the SS is not the direction the C6 will be going.
stik6shift98 03-12-2003, 01:02 AM Thank God thats not the real C6... :barf:

I hope you are right. I hope this isnt it, but i think that this has a lot of the styling cues that have been leaked to the public about the C6. I would much rather this be a future Camaro than Corvette.
guess who 03-13-2003, 07:46 AM I was chatting with my close Chevy friend when the SS concept came out.I recall tellign him the purportions of the SS screamed Vette.But I also agreed with him having hints of the Camaro in it as well as a 70 Chevelle and 71 Camaro.I think chevy should have made this :confused: the badging instead of the SS nameplate.
jcamere94z28 03-13-2003, 07:51 AM that's a 4 door car...weighs a tons but then again has power to move it around....
Is a nice car... but it ain't no vette. :)
SNEAKY NEIL 03-13-2003, 07:53 AM Well they wouldn't call it the "SS" as a production model, they would give it a name. After all, it was just supposed to be a styling exercise.

You misunderstand the cars "PROPORTIONS" scream Vette which means size wise.Heck you can see Vette in the fenders all day.Yeah it is a "4 door" concept and it is a tank.But if you look closer you will see a whole lot more.Not saying that seeing all that makes a case for the Vette but it is FAR from being a Camaro.
ws6transam 03-13-2003, 09:31 PM You guys....
Maybe this'll whet your appetite.
Like this? (http://www.ws6transam.org/vette_design_concept1.jpg)
How about this? (http://www.ws6transam.org/vette_design_concept2.jpg)
Now, don't spread this around, but there's two turbochargers under there. (http://www.ws6transam.org/vette_design_concept3.jpg)
I took the photos myself a couple of weeks ago when no one was looking. >shhhh!<
Enjoy,

I would guess that's a circa 1990 concept. Looks like an exaggerated C5. I sure hope the next vette doesn't look like that :dead:

:) :D ;) Yer' pretty much on-track. That's a twin-turbo LT4 under that glass. Still, a mid-engine, twin turbocharged Corvette is an intriguing concept, is it not?
This particular concept car is valued at $1.6M by the General. I don't think it was displayed in very many shows. It was a development & test mule, I think. You can see it at the R.E. Olds transportation museum in Lansing, Michigan.
BTW, Nice website you got going there, Kizz. If it's any help, I found the remains of my build sheet in two places: A small chunk was staked under the passenger seat mounting stud, and the remaining chunk was stuffed up INSIDE the mounting foam of the front driver's seat. I really had to reach for it and it came out in about four pieces. I've decided not to keep my car original, and a roll bar is getting installed in a few weeks.
rick99ws6 03-14-2003, 10:37 PM I remember reading about that concept car. It has the C6's base engine in there. 6.0L, 425hp V8 :eek: :bow:
Jcb890 03-16-2003, 02:32 AM that car is so ugly:barf:
id much rather have a 2003 ZO6 than that ugly car.
just my $.02

brad-z 03-17-2003, 03:02 AM Ok first thing. GM has enough money to have the designers that designed the Aztek killed and their bodies disposed of. These morons are obviously responsible for that beast. They want to call that a Chevelle??? Is someone on crack?
secondly, the first two pics in this link show what is clearly a GM version of the Mazda RX8. Hasn't anyone seen that hideous pig?
Lastly, GM NEEDS to wake the hell up before they ruin their company completely. WHY can't anyone there design a decent looking car? It must be something to do with the computers they use, they probably have a virus!!
disgusting
