The ENTIRE car is redone, hence the C6 name.

c6 runs very low 12's and handles better than the c5 so no matter what anyone says its bad *** and the best sports car bang for buck.

Those pics don't really show the car too well though, only sections. What would be nice would be pics of the whole car.

Yep, finally got rid of those old popups (less weight) Yeah, Go USA! The only American sports car is really advanced this time. If only GM tried a DOHC, variable valve timed-design V8, I would say the Vette would be as far along as it looked. Awesome car tho.

Nice look and really low. The curves look great and not very exagerated. The only thing I don't like is the handles, similar to the 350Z.

it seems as if the C4 back lights are back and a little redesigned. I wish there was a better pic so i can do my eyes justice C6 is awsome! Especially bc the c5 is now cheaper

Wow, another person who hates the door handles on the new Z....those cheap *** handles bug the #$@! outta me.
Back to the C6....very nice. Apparently GM can actually put out a good looking car when they put their mind to it.

The handles actually are better that way because you pull the door out, but I don't like the look because you have a square next to the door line. It ruins the lines. It would also be really akward to bend over to grab a lower door handle.

Anywayz I heard the standard engine would put out 365 hp while the top end would push around Viper territory (430-460). When will the official spec's be released?

yes, I said around there (not above or beyond or anything like that)... Which fairly good considering it's a naturally aspirated V8. Ford's SVT Mustang Cobra pushes 390 and it's SC'd.
