I think they look way too much like the C5's. If your going to redesign it, make it look like you redesigned it. I was just reading one of the major car mags and they described it as not a C6 (6th generation corvette) but a C5 13/16ths. It's cool, just not different enough from the old one to get me excited.

I thought that you mean this. It is called "Panzerfaust" here. The word to word translation would be : "Tankfist"

I think the new Vette's are the best car a poor man's money can buy.
Go Vette
Big Mick
PS> Those of us who are over 6ft understand what I'm talking about. I tried to sit in the new Stang and it just sucked!
Then I sat in the 03 Vette, it was night and day...
Vette's are a Bigger mans Race Car....
By the way, I'm 6ft 3 260lbs....
