I like the black roof, black lights, and the fat back tires.

The thread below goes on and on. If the 500 hp rumor is true then I expect the car will have a 7.0l. 427ci*405hp/346ci=499hp

Certainly GM can get to 500 hp with a 6.4l if they wanted to try that hard. There is a guy on ls1tech that is firm about the new z06 being a 6.4l as he is involved in some part of the production process.

Note the other z06 off to the right edge of the image in the first post in the above thread.

In person the c6 looks more compact. I like the one I saw better than the photographs of them. So I am more excited about the c6 z06 than in previous days.

Enjoy

The problem becomes with unexperienced drivers with those cars on the road. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I've often joked that the Z28 should come with driving instruction, same for the Corvette. Heck, I did the VW driving school when I bought my GTI (think 70+ mph autocross in a huge lot at TRC in ohio, with a flock of instructors from various schools, etc). It was educational and fun.

I mean, any moron with $25k could buy a Z28 that runs (unrestricted) nearly 170 mph, or 162 otherwise. This is not a car that 99% of the popluation need anything to do with. And, that is proven pretty regularly by the statistics (great rollover rating in testing, high fatality rate in rollover accidents??? Hmmm, other forces at work here), or so it seems. Corvettes are more expensive, but the same thing still applies. These cars can be a handful if you are "stupid" (or inexperienced). Training would be good. Heck, if we could improve the general state of driver training in this country from the "drive around the parking lot, win a license" that we had (it's getting slowly better in some states) to something more like europe or at least a reasonably advanced form of training, we might see accidents and fatalities drop across the board.

I'm not saying all drivers are idiots. But, who can't use "more training", and for the general public who think a car is an appliance and that they have the RIGHT to drive (I thought it was a privledge), that may go "double".

Just my thought, I could be wrong.
