Default Corvette programs on tv next week

I posted this over in the c6 board but being a c5 owner myself I enjoyed the programs so figured some of you might as well.

Speed channel has shown and will repeat a program on the c6 z06 on Nov 28 in the afternoon. 30 minutes. Good show on the car. Takes it on the track as well as showing you the cars in the assembly plant (first time I saw this) and some shots at the Corvette Museum.

Also if your cable company has video on demand check under Mag Rack - in their auto section. 8 minute profile of the C6.

Briefly mentions and gives credit to the C5.

Jeff

....lets not forgt to mention a very brief appearance of a C6R on the track, totally blowing by the Zs like they are standing still......Puts it all in perspective just how much faster a race car is than really fast street car.

I hate the looks of the C6, but enjoyed the show a great deal anyway. It was nice to see the brief homage to the C5 even though the show is CLEARLY focused on selling the new C6 ZO6. Its ugly [ to my eye ] buts still a great performing Vette!

Yep. Me too. I still can't believe the "1.27" on the G-Meter that Jeff Gordon claiimed to have recorded.

"Like an AK47 in a psych ward"
Even for the mentally challenged - that was funny!

Still not wild about the C6 looks, but you've got to respect the 'off the shelf' package of the C6 Z06.
