Yeah, I'm not feelin that one at all. The C5 are as close as it gets to me liking Corvettes. I hate all the new cars with the sharp edged body lines and crap  . I like a "contoured" body.

Oh, that's a Probe... Ford made them for a while. My little brother used to want a purple one. Then he grew up and realized he wasn't gay.

Fixed headlights from what I've heard, I'd take a vette over a viper any day, primarily because of the handling. . .I know the viper has improved significantly, but since the vette is coming afterwards, I'm sure they've done their homework... . .but pipedreams for me,
Current Viper handles much better, is a good bit faster, and brakes a good bit better than the current vette. It also looks infinitely better and is much rarer.
Kontofosho--car manufacturers like to have some pics/info to get out about new vehicles, it produces anticipation and interest for their product. They just don't want it coming out too soon before the release of the vehicle.
If price is a factor, I'd get a mustang cobra and mod it to kill a corvette. Price not being a factor, I'd get a Viper any day over a bland corvette. The corvette interior is like any ol car and the exterior isn't the much better. The viper actually has style. And hopefully they will make this new corvette being a viper competitor and hopefully that'll push dodge to add more power to the viper.

For those that knock the C5 for lack of style or poor interior...have you driven one???
If you do, you'll never rip on it again.
The shots of the body of the C6 in this thread look great. The "spy shot" of that white car next to the probe is crap, as much of the car is obviously photochopped.
Nobody should compare the Mustang to the Corvette...which is a better car???sorry it's a no brainer...the corvette, but it is more expensive. Pick your poison.
