Re: Front End (C4TUSC)

Although it's a conception, with the slant of the nose + spoiler/wing, it could pass as an F40.

Re: Front End (C4TUSC)

Its strange that no one who has seen the C6 has ever mentioned the C1 type "teeth" grille in the front but it does seem to fit. The San Fran pics showed a bit of the front opening with no visible grille but it could have been tucked in further. I wonder if it will truly be in there. It would be a major surprise since no one has ever mentioned it.

The more I look at the original picture, the more I like it. And if you look at the front it looks like one mean shark. It looks pissed of!!!

Re: Front End (C4TUSC)

Anyone remember the racing Vettes of the 50s? They too had a grill that could easily pass for this picture. :cool:

This looks good. Notice the indent in the rear facia, just like the spy shots. Also this front definately has a Ferrari look which is what was reported by the dealers who saw it in Las Vegas.

Re: Front End (TedDBere)

strangely enough though, it looks to me they did not get the side coves correct. The lines should continue past the opening toward the front end.
perhaps person drawing did not really care about including that detail.

Re: Front End (RPOZ25)

After poking around, I found this one too. Must be the "Blue Devil," cause you're gonna need more than just 315's out back to get it to hook up :jester

Re: Front End (AP)

I don't know. I just might be convinced that is for real. It really does follow the lines of the SF pics. And a real life interpretation of that front end just might seal the deal for me, it looks cool...Ferrari-esque.

Wow, proportions aside, this looks far and away the most consistent with what we've seen, both in the Cowger headlight and SF pics.

Re: Front End (C4TUSC)

The Jan 2004 Car & Driver carries a drawing of a Chevy Nomad that has the 50's Vette SS style grill also. Wonder if that's a styling theme that is being brought back. It carries a tradition in the Vette performance cars. :confused:
