those are the same photos I linked to (and then took down) at "digital corvettes", they are embargoed until the 10th, so becareful...you dont want to get banned.

 

I dont think they are embargoed anymore - http://www.autoweek.com/files/specia...06CH_CR055.htm

 

remove the link
it is an unnatural link to autoweek

 

Wow! I love it!

I kind of wish they did something different with the rear though. Maybe a small lip spoiler or something.

 

Keep the link. Over on AutoBlog.com there is a response from the editor of AutoWeek who did this on purpose.

 

I like the steering wheel much better!

 

Very sweet indeed.

 

The Dodge Charger pics have been in MPH Magazine for the past 2 weeks (Barnes & Noble carries it). If the Z06 is new to anyone, you've been living under a rock since before Christmas.

I understand the reasons he released them, and I agree. However, little independent writers like me have to obey the embargo, and it doesn't bother me when someone else (with more "juice") jumps the gun. I'm just glad to be a part of the "early preview folks".

 

Incredible!!!

I think I love every detail.

Ya, all the people who complained that the C6 ripped off the Malibu wheel (which it didn't) get to have the stock Pontiac wheel in the Z06 now.

It's like 1977, when they stuck a Nova wheel in the Corvette.

 

And to make it even more common, it's also the wheel used in the 2006 Pontiac Torrent SUV:

And to top it off, the Pontiac's get the duplicate radio controls on the wheel, and the Z06 does not.

 

OK, let's add another vehicle to the list:

HHR has the same wheel as the 2006 Corvette and Z06 now too:

So, we have our $50k plus sprts car flagship sharing a steering wheel with:

HHR, G6, Torrent, Soltice, and I wonder how many more.

And top it off with the fact that the $15k-$25k cars get the radio controls, and apparently, the $50k+ flagship does not.

 

I still can't get over the overly huge steering in our LS-1 cars that we shared with Monte Carlos.

When I had my '92 RS and the '02 at the same time, I loved driving the '92 better, simply because it had smaller steering wheel.
