C6 Engineering drawing
A while back there was a small CAD type engineering drawing that many believed to be the C6. One member (sorry I don't remember who) pointed out that it appeared to be a Shelby series 1 or 2 and not a C6.
Today I found a larger image of that same rendering in a automotive engineering magazine and decided to do an experiment.
I took a digital pic of my Shelby 1/18 scale at roughly the same angle and as you can see in the photo's everything matches the Shelby, exactly. Headlights, seats, fuel filler cap, dash. The mirrors alone are a giveaway.
Everything matches right down to the small oval on the front.
Just wanted to clear the air.

Re: C6 Engineering drawing (LongTimer)
Thanks for the confirmation. I was burning quite a few keystrokes trying to convince some guys it WAS a Series 1, and not C6. :cheers:

BTW, I've heard that someone just discovered a shroud in Turin that has a perfect profile of the new C6 on it. :p:
