One request for the C6
One thing I hope to see on the new C6 is a place for the front license plate that looks like it belongs. Very much of an afterthought on the C5. A lot of states require a front plate so make it an integrated part of the front facade.

Re: One request for the C6 (Tom73)
My List is a little longer:
1. More HP (at least 400 to start with)
2. New Fresh Color Options
3. Rear Compartment that will accomodate 345 wide tires ...
4. Better Stereo ... or Stereo Delete Option
5. Better Interior ... add Mod Red to standard cars too ...
there is more ... but those are my top 5 ... I think that they are all possible .. the only thing new is the 345 tires ... better interior and stereo is one of their goals ... colors are easy and HP has already been done (Z06) ... so make it easy for wide tires!!!

Re: One request for the C6 (NewVetteLover)
My List is a little longer:
The wider wheel wells would be a great idea for the drag racers, but I don't think the Vette engineers see the Vette as a drag car. One reason that the C5 ended up with smaller tires then the C4 was to help with aerodynamics. Narrower wheels help the air flow at 160 mph.

Oh, I had tons more but the plate thing is one that I have not see discussed before. My other wants have been discussed dozens of times already so would just be repeating what has already been said.
