They had a yellow one at the Chicago Auto Show. 12" rear tires; they had the 7.0 (427) LS2 on display. I want one real bad!

I wonder how fast you have to be going to make that little aero-kicker on the tail make any difference??? Seems too small to make a difference, but you know it's there for more than style.

Oh, and the rear brake cowls looks stupid...in a bad way.

Sadly, I'm not a fan of the styling. I did notice the fenders taking a bit of a rise, though!

I think the best theory I've heard about the tail of the car being that GM ran out of computer memory while designing it.

Or since they wanted it smaller, they simply erased the back on the drawing and produced it....

C5 is better looking.
I can always add power. This is why I bought a C3. It looks better than any car out there AND power can always be bought...looks are hard to come by, especially the wow factor of a C3 and C5.

my 25 cents, Les

Lets see.

Cover install the pop-up headlights
Install a L88 type hood,
Raise fender a bit
replace the back hatch with a vertical rear window.

That should back be the recipe.

I don't like the rear windows of the C6. That's why I'm looking foward to the convertible.
