Shooter Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 2006 Corvette Z06. Most powerful car Chevrolet has made yet (Chevy said this themselves). 500 horsepower. This thing can haul ass. 7.0 Liter engine If I am not mistaken, car and driver still says the Corvette is the best "Bang for the Buck." Especially this year. Now here is a manly car with class and a hot ass. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/294437-2006-corvette-z06/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 I like the maturity in it. Unlike alot of today's cars and ones like the ones seen in fast and furious (which i would only like if i was 5 years old) this car looks manly (sexest or not). Its performance also backs-up the beauty. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/294437-2006-corvette-z06/#findComment-585589009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kak Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I prefer the older look, but this car is still beautiful. People could make fun of my insecurities/whatever they think I'd have all they want if I had that car. Know what I'd say? I'm driving a Corvette, shut up.

DarkMindsProject Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 oh and its actually 517hp its just under rated, i dunno if the tq is also but its rated at 475ft-lb, im sure they could have gotten more out it with say a betterin take, and exaust and such, but its 517hp, for 70k? who really needs more? hell the last z06 ws running low 12's and really who even needs THAT? its made to be a great performer on both autoX and drag, while stil having a great smooth ride that people dont mind driving everyday. and that is what they do, im sure if they really wanted they could have dont like ford. gotten lazy and just slaped on a SC and called its amazing, even though and dumbass in his garage could do that.

Sedriss Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 The front end looks like that of a Modena and a Viper mixed together. Plus the doors resemble that of the viper as well. To much of a copy cat if you ask me. Plus I would have preferred the hide away headlights. And no, the Viper was not taken from the Miata ya tool. It was to resemble that of a Shelby Cobra, since Shelby was the one who designed the Viper.
