Default new z06 spy pics

http://forums.gminsidenews.com/showt...d=1#post104396
not the rear brake ducts, the insanely wide tires, new rims, and mesh grill.
is that a roll bar? and an opening in the front of the hood.

It's a freaking unauthorized spy picture for goodness sakes.. :roll: [edited by RC45]

There we go. That fucker is looking beefy, the way it should have been from the get go. This is precisely why I am waiting for the Z06 and paying no mind to the standard C6. Though I still like it, the C6's lines are too feminine, too soft. Those back meats alone on the Z06 bring a smile to my face.

leaf springs, lol. the sill tv show put the wrong impression on everyone. lets make a point, if leaf springs suck so bad, then why are we winning lemans with them?

yes the transmission is very durable. someone on a different board visited tremec in mexico and talked to the builder about it.

alot of people just know hp. they think 500hp is a big deal. :shock: for other people, this car being under 3000lbs is a big deal...a very big deal. :shock: :shock: :shock: :crazyeyes:

well, to somebody like me, 500 hp is big, 3000 lb curb weight is big, and 400+ torque is big, leaf spring independant suspension is big .... idealy, for a road car; torque and hp ought to be both quite high for usability in all gears. thats part of the allure of the american V8 great accelleration whenever you want it... not just peaky, or brought on by boost above 3000 revs
