Subject: Sexy lookin' corvette concept!! September 14th 2010, 10:01 pm
i LOVE how this thing looks. its not all futuristic looking or anything. its a concept that ACTUALLY looks like what they based it on. its kinda like the new mustang, camaro, and challenger.. yeah they look great and all but even though they based it on the old ones, they still don't really look like the old ones.. but this one does and it looks FANTASTIC!

unlike this where the stingray concept just looks way too futuristic to where you can't use it daily and it doesn't look a thing like the car its based off of. i wouldn't mind having one haha but i don't really like it

the cr3 dosent look to bad. but the concept stingray looks bad IMO. im not a fan of the concept stingray. but i am a fan of the C5 Z06 and im in love with the C6 Z06. i will have a Z06 someday. its just a matter of time

oh yeah! i just like how this C3R looks a lot like the old stingray. i think one thing that is on the C3R that i would love to see in production is the rear window that's on it. its got that fastback style look (or whatever its called). don't get me wrong i absolutely love the rear window on C6's and C5's and C4's. but i think that this would be a fabulous addition to the corvette styling. oh and yeah me too! i HATE HOW THE CONCEPT STINGRAY LOOKS! ugh its horrible

I never used to like red either...but mine has grown on me...AND its so much easier to do the upkeep...(looks clean even when its dirty compared to my black vette) I like the bright reds over the dark ones....IMO oh, yeah- to riptide...the c6 interior isn't much diferent than the c5...actually they use more plastic, lol...

Vettes are my favorite car, period...regardless if you love it or hate it...you have to admit it that you can't get a faster car that will compete with it for the money spent (stock, from the factory) vettes have decent 1/4 mile, stellar track abilities, fantastic brakes, and state of the art computer (traction control, active handling)...yes there are faster cars out there...but you're spending considerably more...according to every source I've read/seen online a 02 Z06 will do 0-60 in 3.9 1/4 in 12.4........for 51,000....not to shabby even for today...look at the new z06...0-60 in 3.6 1/4 in 11.7....very sick....take it a step further...ZR1 0-60 in 3.3 1/4 in LOW 11's (fluctuates a lil bit according to each source)...usually the people that hate them can't afford them or have kids or wear a helmet everywhere they go! lol!

Other than that the dash looks nicer, especially the center console.
I like the exterior about the same between the two (C5/6) and IMO it's nearly a wash as far as that goes. I like red btw. And so do the cops.
yeah c6 shifters are better for sure...the center console really doesn't matter to me IMO, I love the c6 body but at the same time I love the c5s too...I remember lookin at the c5 and dreamin of the z06s when I was in high school!!! lol...AND YES THE COPS LOVE RED...LOL I was pulled over for street racin last weekend...

i like that they have that pretty amazing performance, but they still get unreal gas mileage! like i think buzz said he gets in the 20's or close to 30's i believe he said? thats insane MPG's for 650hp! the LS engines are just amazing

its an ok car but not for a vette. make it some other type of car. but i must say IMO the exhaust is just SICK.

Yeah...I got 32 (actually calculated) mileage in my black vette and get 27 (calculated) in the z06...the z06 is a little lower geared...this is highway mileage at 75...I got 29 at 90 in the black vette...will have to take more road trips in the Z...
