Default C6 talk is in Motor Trend & Auto Week

If you receive M/T subscription or Autoweek, you already know what's in this months about the C6 . If you don't subscribe be sure to pick up a copy of M/T. I get all three and will be interested to see if R&T and C&D will run anything on the C6.

According to MT, the C6 and the Z06 once it arrives are going to get significant improvements. Things like Brembo slotteds were mentioned and up to 500 hp in the Z06. Lot's of other good projections were written about too like an improved fit & finish interior, more advance body materials, chassis improvements.

Sounds good. Be sure to read this.

They mentioned the base car would have 425 hp!. I'm still not sure about the styling. The front end looks alot like a Sunfire. :U

425 for the base model will be really nice. Now THAT sounds like a Corvette.. Not 350..

I just picked up a copy at the 7-11 and can hardly wait to read it. It surprises me though that there isn't any news about the last C5. They've gotta sell all the 03's n' 04's. Probably not to us on the C6 threads.

There are a lot of little gems in the mags written material, but I think they are off on the renderings. (I HOPE they are off) :D

My thoughts exactly. I also think it may look like a cross between the current edition sunfire and a mid 80's trans am or firebird. I hope motor trend is wrong about the front end...please.

MT states that they are not sure about the front end. They should have added the rear end also. Apparently, those are the two areas that are undergoing modification at the request of Lutz. :cool:
