Titanium con rods and a dry sump system.... that thing is gonna be nuts... I love how pissed off it looks with the hood intake and the rear brake ducts! (yes I know the old Zo6 had the brake ducts but this looks more seemlessly integrated). Did they make it a widebody?

[dieselpower91]

wow, it's actually nice, not fugly!

I still love those wheels. Very sexy!

That thing is awesome - again it borrows a lot from the Viper but that's only fair because the Viper borrows from classic vettes

500 HP??

This is definately going to be a killer machine. Refer to my post about the 405HP ZO6 I got to play around with to see how badly I crapped myself when I so much as breathed on the gas pedal!

Update from another forum:

Someone on DC just stated his source confirmed the above specs of the car and said that everything seems to be on target except for the TQ number, which should be 500 instead of 475.

For the current thread.

I don't like it. Could be better... but I think it's just the pic. I don't like the black linings on the headlights either. Seems to ruin the look of the front end.

[googe]

who cares what the front end looks like? not like anyone is gonna ever see that part of the car

[boi-alien]

Not the Z06 but still a nice shot:

Very sexy car, still don't know about the paint beneath the lenses on certain colors, it would look good on black obviously.

[JAYMEZ]
