I guess thats what the C6's headlights might look like. Bring back the flip-ups.

Wait till you have to replace the motors everytime they go out, which is quite frequently. You'll be wishing they'd let the car evolve like it should.

The new C5-R looks great. I love the new paint job, its very patriotic.

I kinda like the yellow/white better, but the blue is definitely cool As long as we can murder whatever Oraca is gonna bring in 04

I like the paint but it will blend in too much with the rest of the cars racing. It's easy to locate the Vette's now because the yellow paint gets the attention!

I don't think the C5R has to worry to much about team Oreca, its the Prodrive Ferrari 550's and the Saleen's that we have to worry about.

I assume that is the Daytona Blue... disappointing, because it replaces one of my all-time favorite colors in Electron Blue... but it does look nice.


I don't think I'm real crazy about the stripe patern though...

nice paint scheme, but i don't think it tops the one used on the '96 Grand Sports.

I've loved vettes since i was a kid, and i'm sure the Z16 will be outstanding...too bad that by the time i can actually afford a vette, two generations of the reborn f-body will have passed
