Re: 2006 Corvette Z06

Whats freak'n different?! I don't get what the point is of all these spy shots if what we're seeing is really nothing different from the orginal. Its like getting all excited about Z06 C5 spy shots just because of the little break inlet thing on the side...I mean come on, whats the big deal?

Upon further review, those rear fenders do look a little different, but still not enough to cause any commotion.

You can see that there is some kind of an air duct towards the hood, and an opening ti the front of the right rear wheel.

Re: 2006 Corvette Z06

1. those are some insanely wide tires for a vette.
2. fender flares
3. rims are awesome
4. mesh grill, so probably different front
5. will keep the rear brake duct for cooling
awe...some!

Re: 2006 Corvette Z06

Re: 2006 Corvette Z06

I thought I heard somewhere that the new Z06 would be alot different from the base C6. With C5s, the Z06 is fairly similar to the regular 'Vette, so I heard they wanted there to be a distinct, noticable difference from the regular 'Vette this time around.

I don't see anything that different, other than a slight flare of the rear fenders, but that isn't something any non-car enthusiast would notice.

Re: 2006 Corvette Z06

is it me, or is 500hp, sub-3k lbs supercar for under 80k not enough for some people on here?

Not different enugh? What did you want, a mid engine super car? Jesus, even when Chevy gets it right, its still not good enough.

Woah, man, I looooove that car. I love the C6 in general. The price. The power. Everything.

In my post, I actually said nothing about my opinion, really. I just stated rumors I'd heard.

It's definitely good enough, I was just questioning.

Re: 2006 Corvette Z06

Well what would you want a Corvette to look like? How radical did you want Hill & Crew to vary the Corvette to make a Corvette?
Im more upset cause its not only you, but people in general with these kind of comments.
What do people expect from a Corvette BUT a Corvette?
