Its too good! http://www.motortrend.com/multimedia...orvettec6_gal/ This is new Corvette wallpaper..... check out the bottom left picture. Not only is the check engine light on, but the dash is probably suggesting a service visit .

That's hilarious.

I hate corvettes - they're sports cars for people who have no class.

After living in California, every time I see a Corvette, I hear the mariachi music in my head and picture some guy with a gold chain and his shirt buttoned up halfway

Chevy should just call it quits.

I hate 'em, too, but in all fairness to Chevrolet, I think someone just turned the key to "ON" so the gauges would light up for the shot (notice the tach and oil pressure guages read "ZERO"). Maybe it was in a studio and they couldn't risk having the engine running. Still, it does make you wonder......

Get Shelby in there with Ford again, I am sure they can come up with something excellent. Shelby and SVT, now THAT would be killer!

I'm kinda with the Broken Marine on this one. Corvettes have been lighting up the world of Road Racing for the USA. I can't remember the exact year of Fords last Le Mans win Hmmmm?
