Several combos were the same design but with different finishes. The baby looks like Mom (the
Z06) and has Dad's chassis and suspension. The C4 went through two fascia styles and
3 front fender vent designs.7. From what I see what they have done with the
C6 so far, I believe they'll have no problem dazzling us with new visual and
mechanical upgrades. Lets get creative here, this a no-brainer!6. Okay, it's not all that "great,"
but it's not as if it's out of a Vega, like the '76 Vettes.2. Would
we "want" more power, SURE! Do we need more power? Ah, not really. Check out
the deco package created for the National Corvette Museum's 15th anniversary Grand Sport raffle car.
Could the Corvette maintain its market share and performance value for another five or six
years? I think so. Let's just hope they get the budget to do so. The
'09 Corvettes had 10 wheel designs to choose from. The C6 Corvette arrived in '05
as complete and finished as any new generation Corvette ever. That's a SWEET package and
a great example of what you nike tn can do with a car as good-looking as the
C6 Corvette.Closing Thoughts. And why haven't we seen a flex-fuel system as standard equipment? E85
isn't readily available, but it sure would put a green halo around the Corvette.10. A
638-horsepower (net) for a street Corvette? A base Corvette with 430-horsepower? The '70 base Corvette
had 300-horsepower (gross). When the Z06 came out in '06, it didn't take long for
customers to realize that they had purchased a Bengal tiger! A Z06 built on the
ZR1 frame with the ZR1 suspension would be awesome.9. And let me dream a little,
I want to see some side-pipes. More wheels could be made available through outside sources.4.
One version could look like the GT-2 cars and another could run the full length
of the sides, replacing the side skirts. Then the current ZR1 body parts could replace
the current Z06. This is more involved but not impossible. I love the Z06 and
ZR1, but from a visual perspective, the spoilers look a little small. The Corvette design
team has the opportunity to take the C6 to astonishing levels of nike tn performance and accommodation.
The fender humps have a slight C2 flavor and all of the lines connect and
flow. A variety of spoiler designs could be outsourced, like the wheels.5. Side skirts and
front air-splitters / spoilers. More Horsepower? Lets hope it's not 1970 all over again. Maybe
we could give it a rest until GM gets on its feet again.There's been a
lot of talk about direct-injection systems that would allow 2 or 4 cylinders to be
"off" under certain driving conditions. Is there more juice left in the C6 Corvette? Absolutely!
What follows is purely my personal speculation on this question: What could be done to
the C6 to keep it fresh and interesting without costing billions in development? Here are
ten ideas to ponder...1. The low volume ZR1 could receive a new front and rear
fascia, hood, side vents, side skirts, and rear spoiler. How much quicker do we need
to get to 60-mph. The Z06 body parts could then make up the new base
Corvette. - KSTThis article was written by K. The longer the C6 is around, the
more I like looking at the car. More rear spoilers. The Grand Sport can stay
as it is, with its unique fender vents and performance package.8. More wheel options. More
graphics packages. Scott Teeters, an editor for Alex Schult of SmokinVette.com, and a freelance columnist
and artist with VETTE Magazine. New interior options: Offer two trim packages; one with enhanced
leather and metal trim, and the other with racer-like trim, such as a roll bar,
extra gauges, fire bottle, and carbon fiber trim.3. A new steering wheel: PLEASE! I'm tired
of reading reports where the writer grumps about the steering wheel. The horsepower race took
off in ways never imagined in '70. His monthly column, "The Illustrated Corvette Series" has
been running consecutively in VETTE since 1997 and can be found on the very last
page of every issue. The Z06 and the ZR1 get married. Modified front and rear
bumper covers. The men and women that design and develop the Corvette are, in my
humble opinion, the finest mass production car designers on the planet. ZR1 to the extreme.
