I know a 16 year old kid with a Viper, his daddy bought it for him.

Then he got it painted sewer green, attached a massive aluminum wing on the back, and put on huge exhaust with either glasspacks or some horrid combination of cutouts and fartpipes, because it sounds/looks like complete and total butt.

Oh and about the vette looking like this and that... The corvette has had the same basic styling points since the C2 (1960s), the current one still resembles the C4(1984) and the C5 (1997) with some upgrades in style (bodywise).

The scoop on the hood is just that, a scoop. Dodge did not invent the hood scoop, cars had scoops before the Viper came out. And there are only so many ways to attractively place a scoop on a car like that without making it look overbearing, that is a popular way of doing it. The '99 Camaro SS had a similar hoodscoop (the corvette's is just stretched out further). God forbid they allow to put a scoop on their car. Hell if you want to get picky, Dodge stole the side louvers off of the C3 (1968) Corvette (Heck, even the C2 (1963) had side louvers.) Now that I think about it, the scoop is also probably there to clear the engine size, since it's bigger.

The lights are normal placement for HID lighting, most cars that have that type of lighting look like that, especially sports cars.

And looking like that Ferrari, the front end looks similar because of the headlights and headlights only. The frontend of the current vette has looked like (or similar to) that since 1968, with the large fenders overshadowing the lower hood. The new bumper cover is shaped more like an airdam for airflow reasons, which is common technology used today.

Thank you degrassi, you are one of the few enlightened :)

[sirholio]

degrassi's comments about prior generation styling cues are dead on.

as far as gas consumption, it's on par with a lot of the common sedans, and still better than any other hi horsepower / torque sports car I know of.

as far as the class of car, i dont know that i can really say it's a muscle car either.

It's not really what I think of when I hear people say Muscle Car. Sports Car, yes.

Mustang, Camaro, Chevelle, Charger, stuff like that.

Coincidentally, theres a guy here at work doing laps and peelin' out in the parking lots around here. All I can here is a loud deep roar as he punches it. Not sure what he's driving though.

and the Viper used to look like a rip off of the Mazda Miata, what your point?

ummmm if you look at a miata and a viper you are clarly going to see some differences. the old viper and the c5 corvette used to be a complete different car. but c6 is an ultimate example of an uninspired piece of ****. it looks like some 1 designed it in their coffe break with vipers style and few tings from a ferrari. COrvette sux balls!!

Just to let you all the Z06 gets better mileage then a lot of cars on the road. Lets take for example for S2000 2.2L the Z06 gets same gas mileage as that on the Highway.

Source Yahoo autos

Z06 7.0L 16/26

S2000 2.2L 20/26

350z 3.5L 19/25 mpg

And Ferrari?s get way worse gas mileage.

Thank You all

They did this in Wheels Mag here in Aussie late last year. Beautiful car

[freeeekyyy]

This car look completely different from anything they have ever produced. It does not look like a true ameraicn musle car

Duh...Corvette's not, and never was, a "muscle" car. It's 100% sportcar.

[freeeekyyy]

It looks cheap and badly made. The little "design" details on it make it look like they just got a 3 year old to draw a car they want and made it. A mess in other words. Will it go around a corner? It reminds me of the past like all american cars. I have never seen one which made me think wow that's "New", I want one

I want one :laugh:

Aerodynamics ahead of style. A BMW will fall on its face against a Corvette.

let's don't bump threads over a year old

the 2006 vette is already an old model ;)
