looks better with the fellows spoiler
they better keep it priced under 100K , im sure they dont wanna take away from the XLR-V
i kinda dig the black tops, but im not feelin the rear scoops at all.
ooooooh the things i would do to that car.
1989 Turbo Trans Am #82, 2007 Cobalt SS G85
Regardless, the zo6, let alone the SS handles much better from reviews I have read then the viper.... As Jeremy from TG put it on the viper.
"This Car is a bloody insane, a maniac's car"
All the reviews attack the rather out of date handling in comparision to its competition in the super car world, BUT they all seem to praise the balls behind it, and the rugged driving feels. WHO wouldn't love 60 ponies though...
My Cav
I give up...
i'm buying a VW those people love trees, so they should love eachother too... "Andy"
I prefer the Corvette SS name for this new super vette. Simple and is line with Chevrolet's trend that the top performance model get the SS moniker.
tabs i think those scoops may be functional on this model. It looks like they are there to help cooling of the brakes. But Ive been wrong before.

The rear scoops are there to cool the rear brakes as they have been since the previous Z06 model. Functionality>looks even though they look pretty good IMO.

Aren't those scoops the same as the current ZO6? I would also guess they're functional. Function is definitely greater than form.
LD9 F23 FTW!!
^^^Yeap, same scoops since I'm guessing they're using similar brakes to see if they can handle the power.

The only difference on those pics and current Z06 are wheel/tire combo, new hood, front fenders roof and the addition of Ron Fellow's edition rear spoiler. Oh yhea the engine too.
But the GM badge/location and scoops are the same so far.

Its one of my dream cars!
Hot, but do you think Popular Mechanics altered the photos? I mean, hell, no camera made in the past 30 years puts out that kind of grain in a daytime shoot...
If it was scanned out of a magazine then it could be...but thats the only reason possibly...
I suspect it would have been blown up from film or digital. If the photographer used a telephoto lens, I can't imagine it would look as grainy.
Just my opinion though.
i finally have posts again.
LOL
i want to say something that has bothered me. I love the vette but from a cosmetic stand point why are we supposed to be so excited? outside of the obvious, the cool new wheels, cool little wing, and the hand of God like power. it looks like just any ordinary C6. from the looks in these pics i don't see anything that stands out enough for me to go wow. I'd be more impressed when i get a ride in one. So my point here is, why do they have body bras on it? like we can't possibly tell its a C6 vette?

the normal c6 z06 is only 1/10th of a second slower than the 600hp viper, so it wouldnt take much to make that faster than the viper. @!#$ vipers. car and driver reviews on the z06 are so inaccurate because i they have the z06 running like 11.7 and 11.7, when ive seen them stock run 11.4 all day long and on slicks bust out a 10.8 completely stock. Z06=GOD
