haha, any heavy drinkers out there need a pair??? We can coin toss who gives up the left and who gives up the right.

i have always been a chevy guy but i think the new vette looks cheap and very japanese in the styling, i would walk right past it as it doesnt seem to stand out anymore, probably goes well but so do a lot of supercars these days for that money, think i would rather have a roush mustang or something or i bet the challenger would grab more attention , there just seems something missing in the style dept , well for me anyway

Wouldn't it be awesome if they built a vette that resembled the 60s sting ray?

I have a buddy that feels the same. I personally dig 'em - especially the Z06 and ZR1 with the wider fenders and quarters.

At least they don't scream "I'm a Dentist!" like the C4s and C5s. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I sorta agree with Boulder69 - I really like how the C6 looks, but it may be the subtlety that draws me too it ('course I am the same guy that loves the Murcielago which isn't that subtle). I didn't like the C4 (it is okay) or the C5 (waaaayyyy too much booty for my taste) but the C6 is sharp.

On that note, as an experiment I have been asking dudes around my engineering job what they think of the ZR1 and every one of them asked "are they really keeping that lame-ass see through hood?" so I dunno where they get their market research that says that is good, cuz my market research has been 100% negative on that. They all like it including the clear coat carbon fiber (that I think is ricer/lame but I am the minority there) and so forth, but generally thought the chrome wheels are a bit much (you can get silver ) and all laughed at the hood.

Is it me, or does the Challenger look really tall?

Yeah Scott it is a little tall in the quarter window area, but all in all it is a beautiful car.

It's damned near 5' tall! 57" to be exact! It's 6" longer than a Chrysler 300 and weighs over 4k pounds.....

wow, so when I said it could use a 2" section thru the middle, I meant 6" section

I'll give up the right. I'm tired of fighting kidney stones!

The "427" on the Roush Mustang is the horsepower rating they had when they first came out, they're now 435 HP. It's kinda misleading.
