Saw the C6 in person at the LA auto show today: Impressions
Overall I love the new C6, the first thought that came to mind when i saw it in person was "wow it just seems... smaller" which isnt a bad thing The orange color they had was not to my liking it seemed like rotten orange. but anywho here is the things i liked.
1. Cool New door opener, its not a handle like you would think, its a sensor that unlatches the door when it is touched. 2. The overall clean looking interior (the steering wheel is growing on me) 3. Fixed Headlights 4. New HUD Cant wait for the Z06 and the rumored "Super Vette" Conclusion: Ill take one on black please.

I heard that the fast c6 is going to come out in 2006 and its not going to be called a Z06. Instead called a Grand Sport, just like in 1996 they made the Grand Sport for that one year. Exactly 10 years later with another Grand Sport would make sense. It is supposed to have 500hp, however i don't know if they are going to have to same paint jobs as what the 1996 GS's did. I hope so, i will be all over that car like a fat man at a buffet bar.

Has anyone noticed the new C6 looks rather.... Japanese-ish? Almost... NSX-ish?

actually the C6 does kinda look like a Viper but it's a pretty nice C6 Vette.
