Looks good. Just can't figure out why in one of the pictures they would have the garage door open. Seems they would have something like this locked up tight. The shop doesn't exactly look like a multi-million dollar facility either, but the car looks to me like it would serve nicely as the next Vette. I wish I could afford one.

It looks like a body engineering room to me.....this could be it.....someone on the inside took a risk to get those if they are the real deal.

Someone was telling me that when the C6 comes out, the price is suppose to jump to 75k. True or no?

I doubt it will jump that high. I've been hearing 50-55k, which is just a tad bit more than it is now.

I love it! I think the front looks alot better than the C5, also looks like they are doing away with the pop-up head lights.

Makes you wonder if it's a body shop that was making a custom C5 kit for a customer...

Oh well, we'll find out when we see pictures on www.chevrolet.com

That looks exactly like the spy shots I've seen. Short overhangs,
non-popup headlights, big lower grill. I would say that is it.

Why the hell does the front on view remind me of the mazda miata,
mr. stay puff marshmellow man :(

fron is a bit mr2-ish...also the back of the car seems to kinda just cut off..

Why would they be driving the C6, without all the camoflage (sp?) crap, on the road?
Looks good though. I'd have to get used to the rear. I wish they'd go back tho the boat tail look.

Car looks really good to me except the back end (Looks to flat IMO).

looks good, but who knows, we are just going to have to wait till the real deal is released in michigan, or at one of the big auto makers car shows. i told my grandfather to get pics of it if he is there cause he will be in the New york auto show and the detroit automakers show, cause he works for Ford.

Looks cool, for some reason the front of the car looks like an RX8 to me...which sucks. But at least it will be fast :usa:

last photo of the whole car looks like a photoshop job to me. The body in the frame looks legit though

That last pic is a photochop. Looks like he just added it, because it wasn't there two hours ago. Look at the August 26 pic about 2/3 the way down: http://palmeter.com/CorvetteTimelineW11P06.htm

That would be sweet if he got some. When is the NY auto show?

He probaly made the 2nd pic to give everyone a feel for how it would look on the road.

I don't care too much for the front end, hopefully the look will grow on me but I miss the huge round flared fender flares.....

Guys, I am willing to bet those pics (excluding the last one) are the real deal. If you look closely that is just the skin of the car. It is sitting on a million dollar CMM table, has to either be GM or a big Vendor.

Keep in mind that GM may have put out a teaser to get the public reaction

It kinda looks like a shop working on some new kind on fab front end for it. Similar to what Callaway does to the Vette's....

But who knows either way it looks bad ass..

Interesting. It certainly looks to me like the real thing (at least based on the spy shots I've seen). Funny thing is that the body-only pics appear to have some subtle differences from the full car pic. The sidemarkers look different in the above body-only pics and the rear looks a tad different (roll pan, exhaust, wing, etc) as well. I like the body pics, but not so sure about the full car pic - maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me...

I think it looks more European-Ferrari-ish. It still looks good, but there seems to be something about the new body lines that make it seem less American Corvette and more Eurpoean Corvette.....:confused:

Looks pretty aggressive, I like the headlights but will have to see the frontend completed to make a like it or leave it decision.

Are you guys kidding? That thing makes me want to puke. It doesn't even look like a Musclecar anymore. Looks like it should be running a damn rotary motor or something..

Yuck..

I heard the headlights are going to be EXACTLY like the C5R headlights. Supposed to be very valid information.

I personally think is clean as hell. I dont like the C5s that much, but I really like the C6 if thats what its going to look like

I think it looks great! I'm a fan of the C5 look, so I'm glad they didn't change it too much. This one looks more aggressive, I like it better.

Uh-oh, looks like my SS may be going back to stock for a trade-in...

I'm definitely intersted to see how it looks in black and from other angles. Like the wheels too. Very nice from what I can tell so far.

Looks good. Is it just me, or do those wheels, especially the rear, look huge. :eek2: The indention on the door and front quarter looks a lot like a Viper to me, though.

I think the front end looks too much like the Viper but oh well.

Wow I think it looks great! I liked the C5's but didn't think they looked aggressice enough and never liked pop-up headlights. They made the car more agressive and rid the pop-up headlights, I'm pretty happy with it :joecool:

Its just one of those things when it comes out I have to see it. The rear of it really reminds me of the older C4s. From the pics its a great looking car.
