Re: New 2005 Corvette C6
Well, the last i heard it was almost a for sure thing that the Z06 is going to be a 7.0L putting out 500 horses, but they were having a few problems and are currently working on them, and one of the things in the air is to put the 427 in it to solve this problem or help with it or something. nothing is for sure right now though.

Re: New 2005 Corvette C6
I like the back end on this one better than the Z06's.But the head lights seem lacking.

Interesting response. A 7.0 liter engine is a 427. And the Z06 will be coming out with a 7 L, 427 engine. |

Re: New 2005 Corvette C6
The interior, engine, suspension, transmission, etc., are all great but look at it from the front...it looks like the Chevron Toy Car. In my .02 cents opinion, it looks like a cartoon car from below the front headlights, I think they could have made it more aggresive looking in the front. Heck! I would be afraid to drive it, fearing I would be mistaken for being gay.

Re: New 2005 Corvette C6
Hey guys, check out Halltech performance on the upcoming ZO6. 517hp to be exact. But this isn't just about horsepower, the new ZO6 will be the ultimate performance vehicle ever to come out of Detroit. IMHO if your think the new ZO6 is gay, go by a Civic and take off the wheel covers, (now that is gay). Having driven many a C-5 when I worked at a Chevy dealership, and knowing how much that car was improved over the C-4, one could only imagine how much better the C-6 really is. Opinions on how the car looks aside, you can't argue with the performance value of the new C-6. I would like to hear more opinions on the new C-6's from new owners, and how they feel about the car. Make no mistake about it, when the new ZO6 comes out for '06, It will be the car to beat. It is truly the closest thing to a race-car, we have ever seen, and if you don't believe me, do a little research on the details of the new ZO6.

Re: New 2005 Corvette C6
Lots of HP but bland styling. It has more of an import look and I think its becuse of the headlights. I don't think it looks bad just not vette status. I would like to see hidden headlights but thats just my preference.

This is only my opinion......
Having owned the C5 Convt. & now the C6 Convt....having both cars side by side, I prefer the new C6. To me it is just a fresh look....what's so bad about that? I applaud GM for doing away with the old pop up lights. The new design is better in areodynamics & they offer H.I.D lights over stockers which I prefer. The interior on the new C6 is awesome. It isn't my every day car, but my fun toy, so I won't need the hauling room for golf bags or such...I have other vehicles for that.....but it is enough room for what I use it for. No it won't please everyone, but that's why there are other choices of vehicles out there. The extra HP & Torque are nice, but I don't get on the throttle at every light like some people would....the power is just nice to have. Many nice improvements over the C5 make the new C6 more of an everyday drivers car with the addition of the heated seats, a power top if you choose....GPS & homelink. It is just a really nice vehicle. Everyone has there opinion on something.....some like it, some won't. But I am happy with my choice & that's all that matters. If you want more serious power, get a Z06. A 7.0 liter & 500HP will really get you in trouble quick! Sure wish GM would have made the Z06 in a Convt.....would be nice!

I really like the new vette. Hell, I like the old one. I think the new front end gives it a nice exlotic look. I can see the old Stingray influence in the rear, and though at first I thought it was ugly, it's starting to grow on me. From pictures in a magazine you might not appreciate it as much, but when you see one driving down the freeway toward you, you tend to notice pretty quickly. And you have to hand it to GM. After about 574 years they still manage to make the pushrod smallblock competative with all the newer technologies out there. Continued increases in power along with better fuel consumption through the use of better or lighter materials and little tweaks. Although if I was driving one, I doubt I would ever get the stickers quoted 28 mpg highway.
I am already frothing at the mouth over the Z06 coming later this year. I think there are a few minor adjustments to be made overall (6disk/w nagitation not either or) but bang for the buck wise I'm racking my brain on what I can afford to leave out of my diet to afford one. Water and food aren't that important are they? Does anyone have any good stock tips? |

The 2005 Corvette's fenders remind me of the C2 and C3 Corvette. The new Corvette would not comply with new European safety pedestrian regulations if it had pop-up headlights. Check the newest issue of Motor Trend for an article about the new European regulations.
I think the 05 Corvette is hot. |
