Corvette C6

[Deathhawk]

OK. I just saw it on the front page of car and driver (buying my new issue of evo)

I have one thing to say. NSX. Yes that is right, NSX. I never thought this would happen. It looks exactly the same as the nsx!

The online picture isn't as good as the one in the magazine, so someone with a subscription scan it and show everone...

its ugly

 

[Gran Turismo7058]

It looks like an RX-8 and a corvette!!!!

 

[Deathhawk]

The one in the mag looks more like a NSX than that pic does

 

[alex_gt]

Is it just me or does the roof look high in that pic?

 

[Saleen Man]

The roof does look pretty high in that pic. Also, it does look more like an RX-8 in that pic.

 

[Sage]

Sorry 'bout the scan... it's only made to handle normal sized paper...

 

[Saleen Man]

Wow, does look like an NSX in that pic.

 

[Zero]

No it does NOT!!!! That thing does not look like the NSX, I have pics on this website of the new NSX. It looks a tad like the Viper GTS-R concept

compared to.....

and compared to.....

The C6 looks like the NSX of Acura/Honda but I do not believe it is true.

It looks NOTHING LIKE A NSX!

 

[DeliveratorTitan]

Alright Zero, I'll believe you, the C6 is no NSX at all. Ya my bwoy :smilewink

 

[1X83Z]

Hardly a big change. I thought Chevy didn't facelift the Corvette, they just made full re-designs that lasted years.

 

[DeliveratorTitan]

That thing is an impostor! The C6 is a wannabe NSX. **** no am I gonna buy pretentious horse**** like that!

 

[1X83Z]

At least you didn't curse at it.

 

[troy]

the only thing wrong with it is the 'squished' effect. If it were made wider and less tall it would look alot better.

Basically it looks just like a regular 1997-2002 corvette but with non-flap-up lights.

 

[Hooligan]

This seems very much like a Photoshopped "rendering". The perspective is skewed; a front 3/4 and profile would be nice to see. As far as the design is concerned, I don't see NSX, I see a 2002 C5 body with a 2003 RX-8 face. Not pretty, but sketches never really are. Wanna see some early McLaren F1 sketches?

 

[Talentless]

If it was based on the new NSX it should be considered an affront to good taste, both the incorporation and that the car ripped off is an affront itself.

 

[omega]

Its not how it looks that counts its how it preforms! what r the specs?

(it is ugly though lol)

 

[Zero]

There are no specs, we dont know what V8 will go in that thing.

Who said the F1 was ever pretty?

Looks like a RX-8, NSX, and the Vette had sex and thats what the result was

 

[Hooligan]

A much better image can be seen in this month's Car & Driver. No, it doesn't look like an NSX. What it does look like is a 2003 C5 Corvette with -- no joke -- 100% pure 2003 NSX headlights. Take a good look. This seems to be a trend now. Ferrari copied it first with the 575M.

The ferrair ones don't look similar to the NSX ones.

 

[boostcreep]

It does look a little more like an import....... but im sure we'll all end up loving it, now wont we?

Zero-There are no specs, we dont know what V8 will go in that thing.

I heard they were going to expand from a 5.7 litre to a 6.3
That would be sweeet
450 hp and 450 pds-ft if that engine goes in.
wooooooo hoooooo

i think they should do a new stingray. no other corvette can match the looks of any stingray (68' - 82'). and yea that thing is

 

[Deathhawk]

[Angel O'Death]

Oh I just read it wrong... I thought you had said that the stingray was the best corvette, then said it was ugly.

I see now.

 

[Angel O'Death]

no way, i love my baby i like the stingray so much i just bought a Carousel 1:18 scale 1969 Corvette Stingray L-88 GM Test Car. Spent $54 on that diecast model. I'm not big on collectin diecast models, but this car is just sooo fine, i need to see it all the time It's my favorite of all the stingrays. and why not? It's got the best looks, and 550+ HP. i'd post pics, but all i got is a crappy ass webcam that doesn't do jack ****. maybe i'll stick it in the scanner or somfin...hehehe
