they love that wheel gap..... :whyme:

Doesn't matter, since GM provides you with a video on how to setup the car for the track. You can lower the car with simple hand tools.

I like everything about the new Vette....so the Z06 can only be better!

:agree:

is this for the standard C6 too? it has ride-height adjustable suspension? if so, geez I read a bit too fast... :sad:

I know it worked for the C5 and C5 Z06. I havent done it on a C6 but it should be the same since it still have leaf springs.

Appears legit.......



Dear Sir,

My name is Mike xxxxxxx and I'm the xxxxxxx of Broadcast Communications for General Motors.

I've noticed that you have one of GM's embargoed photographs of the 2005 Corvette on your website. Since this image is embargoed until January 10, 2005, I am asking that you remove the image from your site until the embargo is lifted. While I don't expect you to tell me who provided you with the image, I am wondering if you would tell me if you received the image before Noon on Tuesday, November 9.

If there is any confusion regarding usage of GM's embargoed images or if you would like to discuss the situation with me, I can be reached through
email, or by phone at 313-665-xxxx. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Mike xxxxxxxx

:woot:

zoinks. Not bad for a car that still uses leafsprings and pushrods. I bet those rear tires cost $3k alone. What are those, 335 width?

I'm sure it will be fun to drive, and no doubt the best-performing vehicle under $100k, but I just can't ever see myself in one. Not unless I start wearing Hawaiin shirts with the top 4 buttons undone and doing the 'wink-click' move every time I greet someone.

Why the hell does that car use leaf springs anyways?

Photochop?

I could swear I recall hearing Bob Lutz promise 500HP and 500lb-ft.

Does looked photoshopped, but nice none the less.

Still doesn't do it for me. I just can't get excited about the Corvette the way I get excited about a Viper or even a Lotus.

that's dead on with the spy pics here

:drool: me likey.

On the corvette its not like a truck where you have a set of them running in parallel of the car they are a single plastic composite spring that runs parallel of the of the axle and is lighter and more reliable then many other setups.

So while it is carryover technology it is not a solid rear axle with dual leaf springs like you would find on a truck or hot rods of days past.

I wouldn't mind having it as my 3rd car...

I like it.:drool:

:rofl:

hey why not... :D

Dont forget to stock up on brut and old spice.

And Polo too :jesuslol:

But the whole point of a photochop is to make it look real. I call complete :bs: on the pic. I say there's no way the Z06 will have that air inlet in the front. Corvette guys won't go for that type of thing. As for the rest of the pic, it looks just like a C6 which is what the Z06 will look like anyway.

:agree: :werd:

Looks too much like the viper. Hopefully they got rid of the rear leafsprings

I looked at the picture and blew up the pixels. You can tell a photochop from a real picture fairly easily by pixel distortion. usually when you want to make a photochop look "real" you'll lower the quality of the photo so the overall look is distorted when you expand. They did a good job for the most part, cept on the front. Expand it and see for yourself. It'll look pixelated then uniform (area of photochop).

Don't forget your Ray Ban Aviators

Interesting. So, should I take the image off of my hosted location? (I didn't link to it on digitalcorvettes.com, I linked to it on my site.) :dunno:

Cool that they confirmed it for us, though. :)

There's a thread over at A-CL about this...Too lazy to look it up right now :D

And I thought I was lazy... :tissue:
the link to the thread on A-CL...you lazy bastard

:D grassy-ass (en espanol)

tay-nah duh

Yes, I think this is very close to the actual from what I heard.

I think that would be wise.

Okay, no more image, for now.

I'll just look at it in the privacy of my own home. :playboy:

No worries, here it is:

that looks frickin beautiful!!!

67k would be way too expensive

So this is pritty much definitly the next z06 then i assume???

Also, whats with the wheels...the back one looks like its deep dish and the back one isnt...kinda odd.

Still looks hot though.
