    I like the C6 Vette but that front bumper is really boring. Heres what the C6 Should have looked like. I'd definately get 1 of these if I get a C6 roadster or Z06

    Wow...that's slick WilliamH!! Wish they would use those styling cues, as it would make an incredible difference.

    The wife has finally decided on a 'Vette. We've looked at a couple of '04 C5's lately, and she's tried them on for size. She wants to wait and see the C6's "in the flesh" when they hit the showrooms this fall before making a final decision. From the press release pics, she currently favours the C5 over the newer one (says it looks more "feminine").

    Funny thing is, she's been looking at several different car brands over the past year trying to make up her mind -- Masers, Vettes, and 911s, but still prefers the Vette overall. She'd like a Mini Cooper on the side for a "run-around-town" car. Might pick one of those up as well. Not bad too, as you can get a Mini and a Vette for the price of a used Maser. :)

    I dunno, I think that's a bit too out there and doesn't stick with the Vette line at all. I think as a C7 it would be perfect however!

    I'm afraid I don't like it at all. But to each their own. To me, it looks a bit like a flipped upside down Enzo nose. The power buldge on the hood looks out of place.

    The stock nose on the C6 is pretty boring. Reminds me of the Diablos which were cool cars with boring snouts.

    I think this front end makes it look a little like a TVR or a 68 Vette

    You've designed the front half of the new Firebird. Maybe G.M. will take a cue.

    I was checking out my 1/18 C6 parked next to my Callaway C12 & this nose looks a lot like the Callaway design, I wonder if he's going to have an issue with it.

    Whats Callaway up to these days anyways ? I'd love to see a Callaway C12 Vs Salleen S7 test :)
