the rear 2/3rds of it... yes. But not the front. it's not simply because of the non-popup headlights; because I like the C4's and C5's with non-popup conversions.
I just don't like the C6's non-popups.

I dig it. It's a Corvette in every way and it has a lot of C3 styling cues. The view out the windshield of the hood and fenders is very familar. I feel right at home sitting in one. I plan on getting one as soon as practical.

C6 sports the fastest times, best power plant etc. etc. ever put in a Vette. How can you not like that. If I wasn't sporting 2 mortgage payments I'd have my order placed months ago. If you got the $$$ go for it and promise me you take pics for us poor guys.

I might have a different opinion after I see it in person.

gotta love the performance, and in theory I like the idea of a shorter vette, but after seeing several of them driving around at Carlisle I am not in love with the looks.... hopefully it will grow on me.

I gotta tell you MM, since I have seen more pics of the 6, I like the non-P.U. even more, even as far as researching the aftermarket kits for the 5's.
