SilverEvo8owner Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 (silver's brother posting. hope he doesn't mind) On my way to Cincinatti today, I saw a transport truck heading the opposite direction. Got closer and my eyes focused to see about 12 C6's chillin on the trailer. Anyone have an idea what dealer they're on the way to? Sorry no pics. tongue.gif It was spur of the moment, didn't have a camera. From what I could tell there was at least one in every color.

Ziggy1647545504 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 They're here! They're here! Saw a whole truckload today on Sinclair turning onto Morse. I'm thinking they're headed for Germain. Might have to stop and have a look this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash1647545504 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Is it just me, or are the C6's a little shorter in length than the C5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy1647545504 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 It's not you. They are different in just about every dimension from the c5. I don't remember who it was, but someone had an animated image of a C5 profile with a C6 superimposed over it. It was really cool, and whoever has it, could you post it again?

nathan Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Shorter, yes by 5in, but longer wheelbase. I am still burnt by the fact that they do not have flip up lights. In fact C6=C5 body w/o flip up lights IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact C6=C5 body w/o flip up lights IMO I don't know, I mean, yes the Corvette has had flip up lights since the C2, but really if you think about it, todays technology is the first time since 1963 that they have been able to incorproate the headlamps into the overall design of the vehicle, and not have them adversely affect the aerodynamics. I prefer to look at not as deviating from Corvette styling, but returning to what the cars were early on. All of the C1's had fixed headlamps, and they looked good. The C2's when equipped for racing used fixed headlamps. Hell, even the C5-R's have fixed headlamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Originally posted by mesteno: stationary lights are good, they save much wieght, woot.I also heard they couldn't do the project type lights in a flip up because of the space they take and how they work. Functionality >> looks in that case. Drive a car on a regular basis with HID projectors and you'll never want to go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HID's were a must for the C6, and they couldn't figure out how to make them work in a manner that would be both cost effective and be compact enough for packaging in a flip up configuration.

Trouble Maker Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Originally posted by Varioram: whatever...the 997 twin turbo will still crush it.Is that the newest 911 turbo (I'm not fluent in Porsche nomenclature)? It might beat it, might not, but it won't crush it, and it will do all of that for half of the price. That's called the Corvette crushing the 997. It's a super-car for the price of an expensive sports car, that's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy1647545504 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Stopped at Germain last night on my way home. All I can say is WOW! I hadn't ever been a big fan of the C5, but this car... I want one of these. The pictures really don't do it justice. You need to see it in person to really see just how much "not a C5" it is. If only I had the $54k, I'd own the Yellow one right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BLACKBIRD99 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I tried to get a C6 from the T/A Nats to run last saturday. He wouldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olds455 Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 There were 2 at the Chevy dealer at the corner of Morse and Westerville Rd. You know, by Stan's and the Lion's Den. I think I like the look better than the C5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
