photochop or reality??
 

Figured I'd spread the love

C6 Z06

*drool* i want one

I'll take mine in Black with a gray interior. :cheers:


wait a minute... where have I heard that before???? :D

thats a chop, but looks nice

Looks great but I believe it is a 3D CAD model generated from drawings, not an actual car.

Possible pic source...
 

I read a post on another board. The poster wrote:

I went over to digitalcorvette and there is this thread: (requires registration)

I don't know if it's any truth to it or not, but those wheels...

:wipes slobber off chin:

I hope those make it to production somewhere, some how???

Cool lookin ride regardless, but the rear wheel brake duct looks like the little scoop on the front, just copied, rotated, and pasted.

Taco

that looks like it will be a reality, come to papa

do a search under my name and you will see pics of the real thing i think the title is new z06.

DAMN, the pic has been removed... Someone please say they saved it? PM it to me or something.

damnit tell me someone has it lol

look in the automotive news, media, & press section, thread is called New Z06 info, if it gets taken off PM me with your email address

found it

they showed a cloaked Z06 on i believe motortrend. It had a cloth top ie. RT-10, 500hp and carbon fiber areo tricks.

Well the picture is gone GM had it pulled that must mean that its real... Maybe?

IMO it is the best looking Vette ever built. I have always loved the 61-62 but this actually surpasses it.


Come on lotto!!!

I know somebody was smart enough to save a copy of the picture. Would somebody be kind enough to email me a copy?

I've read the thread on digitalcorvettes.com and it seems that was an official pic from GM. It was issued to the press so they could prepare an article. There was an embargo placed on the specs and the picture, not to be released until Jan 10, 2005. Its an amazing vehicle, though I am dissapointed with the 475ftlbs and the fact that the exterior is so bland. That aside this thing is stil gonna kick major viper butt :engarde:

Here's the pic:

I doubt the 475 ft-lb number myself. A 7.0L should be making that much without even working hard - at least if you assume the noted specs are true. I would not at all be surprised to see production numbers closer to 500 ft-lb - if not, I can imagine it either being heavily underrated or simply "detuned" in an effort to reduce load on drivetrain components. Either way, with only 500hp this engine would appear to have some serious potential with only minor upgrades (thinking even just cam, exhaust, tuning or something to that effect) - especially if the rumors are true on how well the LS7 heads flow.

if that is a photoshop, i'd have to meet the person that did it and shake their hand, because that is practically impossible that it could have been photoshopped, theres just too much detail for a car that there is so little photographs of, secondly, a cad model is possible i suppose, although that would be absolutely tedious to draw, especially since we dont even know the dimensions of the actual parts
