I'll skip over your question and simply add that although this forum
has it's good points, many members place little value on civility. It is
easily my most severe criticism of this place. It really poisons the
dialog - and the fun.

From what Dave Hill said, their goal is August '04 or sooner.

Nathan didn't get flamed for asking about the release date. This is obvious if you read the thread again. He got flamed for his sheer arrogance in his ignorant beliefs.

The C6 will be released sometimes in late 2004.

they have shut down the factory tours so they can install the new equiptment to build the C-6s and dave hill stated that the rollout date for the coupe is april. the sales are better with a spring rollout like the C-5s. nobody wants a new car in the fall just to have to store it for the winter.

GM has stated otherwise.



Dave Hill was at Corvettes of Carlyle in PA and is quited as to the former. Yes I read Ken's letter too and can not resolve the differences.

Things change, but at Corvettes @ Catlisle, Dave Hill said they hoped people would be driving their C6 to the 2004 Corvettes @ Carlisle show.

I was standing in the GM tent 10 feet away from Dave Hill when he said April-coupes/August-verts and C6Z06 in 2005. Was he lying? Apparently those that think they know from insider info believe this to be a lie. :confused: :rolleyes:

Are you claiming that in Oct of 2003, you had insider info that Dave Hill didn't have? Sounds like more of your 20/20 hindsight BS.
