looks like that's it. I really like it from the front and side, not bad at all. I like the oval taillights of the c5 better, and the rear looks too flat. but overall i really like it.

I like.... This sounds interesting too:

C6 Horsepower numbers from Automotive Design and Production Magazine
On page 24 of the November issue it states
"When Chevrolet rolls out the 6th gen Corvette at the North
American Inter. Auto Show in January, the Gen 4 V8 will have
a reported 405 hp, the same as the current Z06. Insiders at
both GM and suppliers say the Z06 will have an even 500hp,
but will not be the most powerful Corvette. That prize will
belong to the limited production ZL1 which is producing 625
hp in production trim.
The Gen4 has thinner bore walls,
stronger bulkheads, and retains the cast-in-place iron
cylinder liners. The casting process includes a mechanically
induced rapid chilling of the bulkheads to promote swift
directional solidification of the aluminum and a fine grain
structure , both of which improve dimensional stability. A
composite barrel crank core replaces the current segmented
barrel design, again for tighter and more consistant bore
dimensions. The cores are screwed and glued together, the
aluminum is pumped in rather than poured, and all the oil
galleries are drilled and machined."
-A subsequent note next to a pic of a C6( the old pic of the
white car with the masks on it) states that the ZL1 is a twin
turbo model.


625hp!!!! DROOL!!!

That looks nice IMO. A shorter length with a longer wheel base. .

The rumors have been SUPER positive about the C6. I certainly hope GM comes through.
