AWD would be a great addition. Does someone know if the C5/6 chassis is capable of carrying AWD?

Got it. I've been a little slow all day. Unbeleivable.

Seems like more good information to me. Seems like the stuff on the top may not be 100% correct. I don't get your drift on the Trailblazer. You don't like them? -Greg

I suppose we have to take them at their word, but it seems contradictory to increase the amount of moving parts and "connections" between the camshaft and the valve, while increasing the "redline" RPMs. I recognize that technology, build quality, and quality control are all improving, but it...

My bad on the provocation. :duh ...Still want the input, though. :upthumbs

Ross, there must be some sort of commentary brewing... Don't tell us that you're speechless. So, let's here it. :TALK :upthumbs

Is the depth of the side vents deeper? The hood slope steeper? What about the headlights? :D

There is a Dave Hill interview that you can download from one of the other threads in this forum where he says that the C6 will have a 4-speed auto. I think that it is 'fine' as well, but I wish they would at least put in a 5 speed auto or a sequential manual for those who want that type of...

The Motor Trend Buyer's Guide has a small blurb on the C6. It states that the estimated weight will be 3150 lbs, the engine will be a 5.7 liter 425 hp (est), and that it'll have front and side airbags. The engine will have VVT, and a rear-mounted manual 6 speed or automatic 6-speed (the Dave...

An aluminum frame would be a huge step in the right direction. If this is the case, then Corvette will raise the bar once again on performance, and we'll soon have to deal with faster Vipers and 911's. That is a good thing, because everything will be getting faster...

Thanks for posting. It looks like the pics are finally starting to bleed out a little bit.

I know it's not practical, but I'd like to see those things only available as options. It's probably easier to put those types of things on the cars standard, and charge more for the car, but I don't want any of that crap. When I get in my Corvette, I know where I'm at, where I'm going, and...

Rob- Is there anything at all that you could say about the C6? Granted, some of it is confidential, but any tidbit would be nice. --Greg

'nuff said.

In the blurb under the Corvette part of this page labeled "news" there is some info on the C6 as well as speculation that there may be a $100,000 exotic-type Vette. I found it interesting that they think that if it were made it would likely be called a Grand Sport...

The LS1 Vettes, which are rated at 345-350 hp, but the rear-wheel horsepower is usually around 300-310. The old F-body Ram Air Trans Ams with those engines rated at 320-325 hp dyno at 300 RWHP. Those RWHP numbers are from some hot rod mag that I read about 2 years ago. I'll try to find some...

What was the displacement of the engine?

Sorry, but what are full floating wrist pins??? Another dumb question... Was that horsepower at the crank, wheels, or what? Thanks, Greg

It would be the exact same technology that the Caddy Sixteen has. The engine in that car is actually two fused Gen III small blocks that was put together by Katech (the folks that build the C5R small block). My gas mileage is outstanding now as well. I jokingly call the Vette my "economy...
