Default C6 Got Me Thinking...

that C3s will only be considered 1/2 a Corvette once the C6 comes out. Afterall, C6 divided by 2=C3.
Or will 2 C3s equal a C6 :confused: :yawn:

if you think about it.. 2 C3's would probably equal the performance and price of a C6 (if you figure a 68-72 vert) but for comfort features... I think it would take 5 or 6 C3's to even come close :lol: :jester

C6 Got Me Thinking...

...of just how much MORE I'll appreciate C3s!

Those C6 pix look like the result of a one-night-stand between a Dodge Viper & a Mazca Miata while both were on crack...

Paul - Even if that math were true, with your stable, you come out way ahead!

I have to agree. I prefer not to look at headlights when they are not being used. The car looks better, and there is no great aerodynamic issue. Mark my words. They may become an option....... :rolleyes:
