I have had conversations with numerous Corvette people... and we are in contention that even number gens are straight edged, and odd number gens are curvy.

Interesting theory - I like it, and it holds true.

As for those black rims, well that's another story, I am sorry to all you black wheel lovers out there, it just doesn't do it for me. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Everything I've read and seen about the C6 is GREAT, except the body design. The best body so far rolled off the line in 1996.

I'm with you those black wheels look nowhere near as good as the stockers wish people would leave wheels alone most of the time stockers look best to me.


I love the new c6's but that one is but ugly! just the color withthe mods eck

There may be a very strong connection between the C4 and the C6!

I have pictures of the 1988 Geneva Show car which ASR built on a 1986 c4 Chasis

It is, as far as I can tell, the twin of the C6

Nothing finer looking than the C2's. Especially the 67's. The one in the photo sure is amazing considering it was built almost 40 yerars ago. Classic styling that will always be attractive.

Here's another fine '67.

My brother owned a '67 L71 coupe. It was maroon with black interior and speer. Damn. COOL CAR. Fast... brutally fast. Nothing about driving it was gentle. Horrible handling, breaking, ride, MPGs, but it was loud... and bad ***.

Well I can neither agree nor disagree... the only logical comparison would be to have Kara pose in front of the C6 to see if the car gets noticed more than her

We'll be the judge of that....Right?

Ever wonder where the cowl induction hood started? Look closely at the rear of the '67 scoop. Very cool!
