Sorry, those helmets were a stupid huge ghey idea. They need to bring the windshield back up a bit and wrap it around like the older speedster.
Other than that I bet its one heck of a ride and Im glad Callaway is still doing their magic.
Was it me or did that helmet panel look extremely flimsy as they lifted it up, not that it matters.

Well of course the Z06 feels wimpy to her: her normal ride is an Indycar. Once you drive Formula cars, any street car, even the Z06, will feel like a Prius.

But wonder if paper bags would knock some money off that price tag. 300K gets you a real car.

I wouldn't say it if you weren't screaming about other people needing to learn stuff.

Someone needs to learn proper English.

So an ugly car has now been transformed into an ugly and useless car. Callaway used to do some cool stuff, now it's just a bolt-on shop.

If I was in the market for this type of car, the C16, coupe or roadster, would be so far down my list it would fall off the page. This car is one word, stupid!

I've been to Kuwait, as well as quite a few other countries over there. On average, their English is much better than the word-puke this guy is letting flow. If you want to rant on a site that uses English for the primary language, learn to write it better.

It is funny how people praise some of the unique designs out there, of other car makers (Bugatti, Ferrari, and others) while chastising this company for coming out with something expressive.

Sure, it is NOT the typical Corvette shape anymore, that is great!

What is the funniest part of all the pissing and moaning on this forum, is how nobody seems to realize the technology on this car, applies down to ALL current Corvettes

I posted about the other day in the other bash thread, some nice pictures & videos, by someone who reported from there: http://www.callawayownersgroup.com/P...dsterdebut.htm

For most here, I am sure the C6 is their first Corvette.
