C6 Z06 Spotted
Last saturday I was crossing Mid Rivers Drive in St. Charles, MO and saw a C6 Z06. It looked like any C6 except for the side scoops. It took a second for it to register. Had a pretty mean exhaust note leaving the light.

Incredible car the new Z from a performance and techological perspective, but i still think ITS VERY FUGLY LOOKING and GM dropped the ball on the visual appeal of the car (but man I would love that complete drivetrain in my EB 02 Z)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do like its looks better than the baseline C6. I have seen a few C6s on the road and it takes a second or two for it to sink in. Was one at the cruise in?Dave

I wish GM went with a more exotic look. I felt the same way when the C5 first came out. While it is getting better, I don't think GM is as aggressive as they could be with regards to the cars image.
