wow those are spy shots
i wonder if the photog got chased away

He gonna end up in jail if he continues goin' sneakin' around like that. Hate to say it, but the car is very Viperish in look. Good blend of American muscle with European cut. Future Le Mans overall winner?

Very well spoted, Fogelhund !

I loved the C5... I' hope that the C6 will be as gorgeous as the C5...

awegrzyn · 27 Aug 2004, 03:24 (Ref:1078772)

Hate to say it, but it's a picture of a C5. And btw, I hate the C5. I think they destored the GTS class with that car.

slicktsax · 27 Aug 2004, 04:32 (Ref:1078788)

actually if u look closely u can see the headlights of the new C6 road car. besdies there is no need for GM to shroud a C5-R like that, all the major development for the C5-R has been done, it makes no sense for GM to be so cautious in covering up a C5. and remember before GM entered the world challenge with it's cadillaic CTS-V it already started testing the CTS-V a full year before it made it's debut

Fogelhund · 27 Aug 2004, 05:21 (Ref:1078801)

No it's a C6R, and it was testing today at Road America. I'm not sure how you propose that the C5R killed GTS though.

Don't hate to say it, we've all our "favourites"... mine is "butt ugly" for most of members (Lola B2K40)

Did you see the Vettes at LM those last years, during their dogfight with the Oreca Vipers or the 550s ?

awegrzyn · 27 Aug 2004, 12:53 (Ref:1079135)

So far I saw a C5 testing with the new engine and few parts from the C6.

I have heard from a few people who are at the tests. They believe the car to be the C6R.

jhansen · 27 Aug 2004, 16:26 (Ref:1079322)

The C6R has to test eventually awegrzyn. So why not now?

I'm glad to see that the next generation Corvette has hit the track. Whether it's the complete car, or just parts. Either way, GM has to keep moving forward. Especially considering the new Astons and Lambos. And we still haven't seen the full potential of the 575's. The Corvette team can't rest on the their laurels.

my favorite as well

gttouring · 27 Aug 2004, 23:33 (Ref:1079613)

i love it- especially now with the diesel onboard

Fab · 28 Aug 2004, 06:10 (Ref:1079735)

Thanks for the support, gttouring and shady !

For the Vette, I have to admit that we had very few comments against it last years...

Hope you'll appreciate the C6R though, awegrzyn...

More pics and hints about the car are welcome !

On the track, in the dogfights, they're very impressive to see and hear, and the crowd always cheer those beauties, usualy... that's why I wanted to know if you saw them "in the flesh"...

The Lola B2K/10 is so ugly that it needs a diesel smoke screen.

Shady#30 · 28 Aug 2004, 20:25 (Ref:1080154)

Thats why we like the B2K/40.

Fab · 29 Aug 2004, 04:17 (Ref:1080333)

Hey, I know, It's my fault, but back to the Vette, please : give at least your opinion about the C5 !

It's still difficult to have an idea of the C6 on the pics above...

Or maybe our american members who saw the car ?

Mags · 30 Aug 2004, 02:03 (Ref:1081107)

I work for GM, and I have "sneak" pictures from the C6 unvieling (we posted them with our Ron Fellows interview in Dec 2003). Ron told us at that time they had no intention of using the C6 in 2004 as there was no point (at that time). I haven't heard anything different.. yet. When I get to work tomorrow, I shall make some enquiries.

class4v · 30 Aug 2004, 13:38 (Ref:1081535)

The C6 - R has to be ready by the start of next season as the current C5-R's are going to be sold ( 1 or 2 ?) to a team in Europe to race in FIA GT

Tim Northcutt · 30 Aug 2004, 15:23 (Ref:1081613)

From what I have seen of the Corvette C6, the front has been revised dramatically (I think it looks more like a Viper or Ferrari) and the rear area of the greenhouse and the rear window seem to go much farther back onto the rear deck...much more of a "fastback" look to it...

I'm not much of a Corvette fan, but I think the new C6 is a design and aesthetic improvement over previous models....

Mags · 31 Aug 2004, 02:15 (Ref:1082063)

And you all have am sincerest appologies.. I was so busy today (and I will be tomorrow again). I'll look into it after month-end!

GRRRR, double post, sorry!
