I'm very pleased with the styling and unlike the critics I think it will hold up over the years, but I'm prejudiced.

Re: New 2005 Corvette C6
The new C6 is plain out sexy.
I want to race one.

As I was putting mile # 332 on it I came to an intersection and slowed down due to construction. A voice from outside said it all .... "nice car"

But I would rather get that compliment behind the wheel of a Corvette.

The hood is still forward-hinged, but is 15 percent smaller, 35 percent lighter, and 40 percent stiffer than the previous Corvette's hood.
Here is an article about the new Corvette's LS2. It says it has 400 hp at 5,200 rpm and 395 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm but that is false. The LS2 actually has 400 hp at 6,000 rpm and 400 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. LS2 article |

The fenders of the new Corvette remind me of the fenders of the C2 and C3. Notice how they curve into the doors.
1963 split-window Corvette I think the next generation Corvette should have a fixed roof like the C2 Corvette, but have space for a trunk. Here is some information on the new Corvette. C6 information The new C6 is five inches shorter and one inch narrower than the C5. Last edited by Jaguar D-Type; 03-03-2006 at 08:02 PM. |

Yeah, I just got a Brand new LS2 with the Z51 package and it tears ass.
Well worth the money, and now to add to it, I'm going to put a supercharger in it and full exhaust system. I hope it will stand up to the C7 Corvette with 500 HP. If anyone can help me find a supercharger it would be very appreciated! If I can find a supercharger i'll post the dyno charts, 1/4, and pictures. Oh and one last thing, If I got a supercharger, Do you think I would have to get a hood the rises up? to actually fit it? |

Re: New 2005 Corvette C6
I didn't like the new C6 until I saw one in person... still like the body lines of a C3 better.

The new Corvette C6 has fixed headlights and a single intake duct because Corvette Racing asked for it.
http://www.corvetteracing.com/ The official time for the new Corvette at the Nurburgring is 7:59. http://www.nuerburgring.de/ The 2006 Corvette is available with a new 6 speed automatic transmission. Last edited by Jaguar D-Type; 03-03-2006 at 08:07 PM. |

Johnny O'Connell, Oliver Gavin, and Ron Fellows are three of the four regular drivers for Corvette Racing. They race two Corvette C6-Rs in the American Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
http://www.americanlemans.com/home/index.aspx http://www.johnnyoconnell.com/ http://www.olivergavin.com/ http://www.ronfellows.net/ They went 1-2 in their class (GT1 for 2005...used to be called GTS) for the fourth time in five years at Le Mans.

The C6 has front and rear brake cooling ducts beneath the car. They use high pressure areas to bring air to the low pressure areas where the brakes are located.
Here are two new Corvettes in the Speed World Challenge. They compete in the GT class. These Corvettes run with the 2006 Corvette Z06's body. http://www.world-challenge.com/ Lou Gigliotti drives this C6 http://www.lgmotorsports.com/ Leighton Reese drives this C6 |
