Default Hottest C6 vette ever *PICS*









Sorry, I know I have been making alot of pic threads lately but this one is too sexy to pass up.
If anybody knows how to correctly reshape the pics into wallpaper size without loosing quality they could make good backgrounds. :

One thing i cant understand is why aussie car manufacturers (holden/ford) cant come up with stuff like this?
They always base their top models on base model family cars.

It would be awesome if holden or ford could make a new model that was built from scratch to be all about performance.
And I'm talking about only having 2 doors and 2 seats.

Easily the best vette to come out of GM. I saw a doco on Discovery on the build process of a C6, great car and it looks horn with those rims.

yeah i agree, that would look better with lke smoked dark grey rims, instead of black... nearly anything looks better than chromies on cars like that...
an australian car like that would cost too much to develop, pass emissions, adrs etc... the cost would outweigh the benefits... although im sure i would rather lose a bit of money to get an image that kind of car would bring... but thats the way i would run ford aus... and there would already be a ho... but theres not for the same reasons... and everyone would pick something wrong with it, like oh its got no heritage links and all that s**t... cant please everyone...

I think that in yellow with the same rims would be horn...actually I dont think there is a colour that would look bad.

A little thing calle Return on Investment. No market size. Better probably to hedge bets and make performance sedans that appeal to larger customer bases. Better return.

Yeah, Australian hero cars can never be like that - theres just not the market for it. If you added an extra zero to the population of australia...maybe.

The thing looks pretty good, but I prefer older models. I might be a bit picky here, but the cabin/roofline is too distinguished...hence that rather accurate comment about the batmobile.

I'd prefer an older model myself. Btw, who said something about porsche style always staying the same?

Nope, they love it cos it uses leaf springs at both ends, just like the old corvettes....
