Re: New Corvette C6 bodykit reminds me of Camaro

The rear bumper is ugly, be glad I didn't show you it. I like the front a little though.

I like 2 body kits, and both are made by Veilside. One is for the RX-7 and one for the Jaguar XK8.

See them both here:
xk8 rear (I love the spoiler, but most people don't)
xk8 front
rx-7 rear
rx-7 front

I feel exactly the same, I hate when someone defiles a Vette with this kind of crap. I think it looks like the Elise. Someone said on another thread the C6 Z06 was Tacky. No. Tacky is any body kit on a Corvette, ie "greenwood pkg.", etc. OOH I really hate that rediculous looking crap. C6 Z06 does not look like a body kit to me!

Re: New Corvette C6 bodykit reminds me of Camaro

The only cars that look good with body kits are Supras and RX-7's. And not just any kit, just a couple. The Supra NEEDS a kit for it to look good. The front end looks like a whale otherwise.

Oh and I'm partial to SS Camaro's with RS ground effects but thats different

I don't like either of those. ESPECIALLY the Saleen.

I'm not really seeing the Camaro in this Corvette, but I know I don't like it at all.

Re: New Corvette C6 bodykit reminds me of Camaro

Personally, I'd like all of those much better without the bodykits. That's an awesome blue though. I prefer simple lines to lots of lips and vents. Just my opinion though, we all have different taste of course.

Re: New Corvette C6 bodykit reminds me of Camaro

I don't like the Dick Harrell add ons to the Camaro, it's too lumpy to me. But I do love the Sunoco/Penske body mods on that late 4th gen Camaro. I'm sure you know which one I am talking about, so I won't find a pic.

Article with good info. On top of the cosmetic package, they're working on a suspension as well as engine packages as well. They'll have a 445hp package, a 500+hp 7.0L package, and a supercharger kit available.

Brand-New for the New Corvette C6: The Custom Designer Suit from geigercars.de

The new Corvette C6 has taken the hearts of sports car enthusiasts around the world by storm. The exclusive custom designer suit for the two-seater is now available from geigercars.de.

The leading European tuner of American automobiles has developed a body-component program that is as striking as it is aerodynamically efficient.

The geigercars.de front apron was designed to be simply exchanged for the production bumper, thanks to its excellent precise fit and the retention of the original mounting points. The large oval-shaped air inlet provides ample supply of cooling air for radiator, oil cooler and the air conditioning system. The lateral openings are designed to optimize the flow of cooling air to the front brakes. The integrated front spoiler reduces aerodynamic lift on the front axle.

The geigercars.de rear apron was also designed to simply replace its production counterpart. Its upper end features a longer separation edge, which in combination with the diffuser integrated into the lower part reduces lift on the rear axle. In addition the geigercars.de rear apron lends the Corvette an even more striking rear appearance.

The geigercars.de sill edges are available in two versions with or without additional air ducts for improved cooling of the rear brakes.

Also part of the new outfit is the geigercars.de high-performance exhaust system, which is available in various versions. The lineup ranges from a sport rear muffler with four 110-millimeter tailpipes to an entirely new exhaust system with additional high-performance manifold and metal catalysts.

Naturally the geigercars.de exhaust system is an essential part of geigercars.de performance tuning for the current Corvette. In addition to the 8,040-Euro performance kit available now, which boosts power output of the six-liter V8 to 445 hp / 328 kW, the engine specialists are currently working on an increased-displacement seven-liter engine with more than 500 hp / 368 kW, and on a supercharger kit.

To keep the enormous performance potential of the tuned Corvette safely in check at all times geigercars.de offers two versions of a high-performance brake system for the C6 model. The front-axle system, available for 4,175 Euros, consists of vented and perforated 355 x 32-mm brake disks and four-piston aluminum fixed calipers. For an additional 3,595 Euros the geigercars.de sport brake system can be expanded with 345 x 32-mm disks and four-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the rear axle.

geigercars.de further offers various options for suspension tuning of the new Corvette. The product lineup ranges from a lowering kit, which lowers the ride height of coupe and convertible by some 30 millimeters, to sport sway bars on front and rear axles, to a geigercars.de sport suspension with firmer gas-pressure shocks.

geigercars.de suspension tunings are perfect for combination with multi-piece geigercars.de chrome wheels in sizes 9.5Jx20 in front fitted with 255/30 ZR 20 tires and 10Jx20 with 305/25 ZR 20 tires on the rear axle. The entire suspension conversion including tires, wheels and suspension tuning is available for 10,710 Euros.

Naturally geigercars.de also offers exclusive interiors for the Corvette C6: The list starts with carbon applications for dashboard, center console and door trim, and culminates in masterfully crafted fully leather interiors in any color and design imaginable.

geigercars.de offers tuning for the new Corvette but that’s not all: Fully customized Corvettes start at 99,800 Euros.
