The C6

What do you think? Chevrolet did away with the popup headlamps. But they are Xenon headlamps now. Engine will be over 400 hp... probably a 6L engine, with 2 cam-shafts.

*sigh* Corvette IS my favorite car.

Nice looking machine...but 6 litre? Totally impractical and uneccessary - it'll never work over here.

Just give me a nice RS Focus or Clio V6 any day

looks ok from the front, they seem to have forgotten about the rear though and scribbled somthing down in 10mins.

I agree with russ 6l is sillyness, if you want over 400bhp you can get smaller engines, a 4.5l v8 bmw unit perhaps does 400bhp (n/a) or maybe a 5l merc turbo that does over 500bhp.
Oh no twin cam, what ever would they think of next :p vvt perhaps ?

btw clio's are only decent if its the williams special with the 3l v6 on the back seats :-)
focus im not to sure about i'd prefer the r32 golf.

6L? Hurrah, 1 mile to the gallon, where are the USA going to get their mineral fuels from when they've depleted their current suppliers/supplies. Hopefully where/whoever it is will tell you boys to start building cars that aren't nob extensions with slightly more realistic engine capacities.

Steering wheels on the wrong side..........

Xaccers · 09-01-2004, 09:55

Seriously though Jerrek,
As I said to a freind of mine in the US who has a couple of vette's, it's too curved for my liking.
Remember I grew up with nightrider, so if it can't beat the looks of KITT then it's just not up to scratch

Dave Stones · 09-01-2004, 10:37

have to say the bonnet (hood for the american

) is the most ugly one i have seen in a while...

and yes i agree if it doesnt come up to KITT standards, or at least the big van out of the a-team, then i am not interested...

Ramrod · 09-01-2004, 10:51

I like the way it looks

(and KITT's too boxy) *runs for cover*

KITT is the ultimate in car design... apart from the camp voice that is

who doesnt want it?

You'd better run! :P

KITT cuts through the air with it's shape, like the lotus esprit and lambourgini.
If a sporty car doesn't look like any of the above, then it's got to be a small convertable, like a Stag, or cobra.

Cars like vettes shouldn't be wibbly like that one is, it's just not right! it looks like it's designed for women to want

that car as an alright rear end, the front just looks like it has melted...

The other problem is, I think citroen will be releasing a C6...
