[Tru_Ice]

Here's a modified version of the coupe version of the C6 that I found on another site. Thought you all might like.

I'd bet thats the car.

Thanks for the photo!

IF you had to take a guess...where do U think titanium will show up on this car other than the exhaust?

This drawing is also Brian Kuper's. He, obviously started with the Euro Cover and modified the front facia. I am STILL certain that the headlights are not right. He said he'd look at those next.

There are lots of rumors about Ti being used throughout the Gen IV engine. Rob's post elsewhere here about the 3 valve tech is pretty much being accepted as fact. One very sharp engineer who participates here and "overthere" has said that he expects to see the Gen IV be 30 - 50 lbs lighter than the Gen III - despite the 1" larger heads. He is also a bit aprehensive about the (quoting him)," the Rube Goldburg 3 valve ... at 7000 RPM."

Haven't heard anything else about Ti use that is not pure speculation. We need some suppliers, or people who work at vette suppliers to step up with some good info.

Wow!
The closer the time comes fo the C6 unveiling, the more accurate the speculations become.

THAT IS IT. THAT IS THE GRILLE!!!

can't wait to see what Bkuper has in store for the headlights...

Again you are stating absolutes. Are you confirming what you have seen?

First of all, how do you "know" this for a fact, budweisert? How did a 16 year old see the C6?

And I have to personally say that I don't like that front end at all. Too trendy, too jagged. Reminds me of the crappy Pontiac vehicles I see driving around. Corvette's have always been a bit more universal than that.

The rest of the car looks great, however.

We'll see.

YEP. Agree on everything you said. Lutz removed the side strakes from the Bonneville and the Gran Am, he wouldn't move one to the front facia of the Vette.

If you don't believe me than don't listen to me.

I'm here to help you guys out.

I'm trying to give you guys the inside scoop on what this thing looks like but nobody listens to me.

Do you know how frustrating that is??

Just stop ignoring me, everybody, please.

To budweisert:

Budweisert,
Fine, you want to help us out. But if you really know what you're talking about and want us to 'not ignore' you, then let us know how you got your inside scoop on the C6.
Otherwise, we'll take you for somebody that only wants the attention we're not giving you.
Give us somethig to back up your claims.

MidKnight.
