You just noticed!! LOL The new Corvettes are shorter and much better looking. The big question is do you go with a base model or the Z06?? If you want a convertible I think you have to go witth the base. Not sure if the Z06 comes in a convertible.

ya no, first z06 that i've seen.

well really the zo6 is more h.p and all body panels. but the body panels are what im talking about. the car looks insane.

i was on the website and it looks like all of them are convertibles. hard top convertibles. i could be wrong.

i really liked the way the car looked with the roof up, its a small curvy roof...looks very cool....

now i ask who the hell is gonna buy a cayman when you can buy a corvette that looks like that.

I have driven the case C6 and the ZO6. Both are very very fast and look great IMHO.

Can't go wrong either way.

The appearance of the ZO6 is a big step up from the the base of course with the ZO6 having the larger rubber and associated flared wheel wells. I drove a base C6 with he Z51 package when I was car shopping. The difference between that and the boxster S where huge. The raw power of the corvette was staggering vs. the rev happy boxster. The big turn offs for me where the less then intimate cockpit feel plus the corvette was so wide it really felt like you were driving something BIG. The boxster has that go kart / nimble feel. Now if only if I could squeeze that 400 HP into a boxster...

I agree with all that the C6 is a big improvement over the C5.

I drove a last generation Z06 a few years ago and it was scary fast. My wife was not ever going to ride in the car if I bought it. I loved it but knew that I didnt want to drive it on a daily basis... thus ended up with another M Roadster. I never cared for the last generation vette except for the Z06.

New vette... totally different story. I have driven a few new ones and they are 100% better in every way than the C5. The build quality, the interior, the shifter, brakes, steering , power... just better. I have yet to drive a new Z06 but believe it is probably just too much power for the street. The 06 Vette was plenty fast enough.

I would have to say that I would consider driving one myself.
