I'm a big fan of the new interior.

Who can complain with that?

I voted "it's okay" because it is, but only just. I bought an '04 after seeing the C6 photos and reading the specs. One, they made a big mistake deleting the hide-away headlights. Two, two golf bags will not fit in it. That was enough to convince me not to wait.

they had to change the lights, because, it wouldnt look too much like a BIG new gen. change only swishes, and ls2, and what happened to the huge trunk...I STILL LIKE THIS ONE MORE who cares about trunk space, its a sports car!look at the lamborghini diablo, murcielago, and gallrdo, they have no trunk space and THEY STILL KICK ASS, same with the new vette.

Japanese? If anything it has a European touch.. I think its outstanding, and I cant wait to see what the new Z06 has to offer. I didnt think the standard could be upped.. but Chevy made a hell of a car even better with this.

definitly not japenese, Euro styling. The vette is far from looking jap.

Absolutely beautiful. The C5 is an awesome vehicle. Great to drive, great looks, outstanding performance, nice price tag. The C6 is taking that mold, and making it even better in every aspect. Where can complaints really come from, if they are truly logical? Tradition might make people hate the open-headlights, but isnt that how it all began? I'm personally considering buying the Convertible, it looks like its going to be one hell of a car.

its ok just looks like a c5 with a kit to me, its not a drastic better change like c4 to c5, but its nice

PowerCrazy · 04-29-2004, 05:06 PM

are you kidding- the C6 first is a drastic change. it's a new body styling that gives a better almost viper type muscle look to it, a bigger engine, and a new transmission system. not to mention the interior has changed, it sits better on the ground allowing better handleing. it's a big step in the right direction, i don't think there's much at all now that can challenge the vette that's anywhere near the same price.

and for whoever said chevy was going jap is so far off- there's nothing on this car that says jap. everything about this car is on the oppisite end of the spectrum from the crap jap puts out.

[They look "jap"?
I got called on the carpet at corvetteforum.com for saying "nipper".
Nipper is a not a racial slur but "jap" is.
How does the use of the term "jap" fly here? No PC?

Anyway I really like the C-6.
I'm fine with no political correctness. Its over blown anyway.

The C-4 was better than the C-3. The C-5 was light years better than the C-4. This holds true to the C-5/C-6 relation. It's like comparing a P-51 Mustang to an F-86 Sabre (or apples to oranges).

Corvette (as well as Cadillac) is the test bed for breaking new ground. I don't know the specs, but doesn't the base Vette (LS2 ?) have like 400hp? The ZO6 is supposed to have a 24 valved engine that makes way more power. I'd like to see the specs on that one.

I don't care for the new grille opening but the car looks like a Vette to me. Trunk, shmunk, who cares anyway. The only thing the Vette was meant to haul is butt (maybe a single set of clubs too). The new one does have a better looking rear section. No mistaking it as Jap or German, that's for sure. Everyone hated the toned down look of the C-4 when it was released and the C-5 looked pretty alienated for it's different looks. Put a C-4 and a C-5 in a parking lot full of European and Jap cars and pick them out. I can spot those sexy lines a mile away.

Looks are skin deep anyway, I think G.M. figured that the C-5 was advanced as far as they wanted it to be. It was time for another history revision. Most of the Vette technoligy went into the GTO and the new Caddy anyway. They wanted the Vette to step up and raise the bar another notch. I feel they mastered that goal once again.
Makes you wonder what the C-7 will be like.
