I've always liked vettes.



As a sidenote, all the old geysers that drive them get automatics. They only want people to look at them...not look at them while they're going fast.
This is sad yet true.. Although I have the priveledge of knowing a gentleman that recently acquired an '04 Dark Blue Z06... Best color for that body style IMO And sounds very mean.. And ths 50 year old man has every intention of tearing into the motor and free some horses up.. I like that man.. He's cool

4 rotor in a vette? actually not gross. the 70's vette was slated to have a rotary engine, designed by GM...

Yep, they just weren't smart enough to figure out how it works...



And honestly, I stood about two feet away from the one at the autoshow in Detroit and as far as I'm concerned you can have it, the thing is the plainest looking vette I have seen in year's.



I know the Z06 version is supposed to really up the HP, but if it doesn't look a little better it'll be a letdown.

My dads '02 vette has the fat 50 y/o seat option.



When you turn off the ignition the seat goes all the way back automatically so you can get your pot belly past the steering wheel.



I drove a '03 Z-06 2 weeks ago and was unimpressed. I was expecting a lot more they way everyone portrays it as the ultimate sports car. It did not feel like a 400 HP car it felt heavy and cumbersome although it was extemely well behaved. I still contend the C-5 can make a so so driver look good.



For the money I would rather buy something else and mod it.



I would imagine the C-6 is gonna cost in the 50-60 range. I would rather buy a 96 Viper and mod it. 50K would get you a sweet 3 rotor Pettit Banzai.



It will be fun to stomp on the C-6's now.
