Nice pics of an awesome car
Very nice pics and I love the color. It's just that I'm still not entirely sold on the front end yet. Perhaps it will grow on me - I don't know.
Drivetrain-wise, there's no denying that this is an incredible car. And the refinement is outstanding so I'm sure Chevrolet will sell them by the truck loads.
I'm happy for the guy - he's got a great and fun automobile to play with now! I just wish he lived closer - I would love to meet him at the track with my old heap.

Re: Nice pics of an awesome car
Oh his thread over at LS2.com he posted the pictures and a couple of posts about how he was going to break it in. Today he is detailing the car and putting lowering springs on it. He says he plans to hit low twelves with it stock and lowered, by next week.

FWIW & IMHO:
I am not so sure that GM will sell them by the truckloads.
There won't be a lot of current C5 Z06 owners selling their Z06 to own "Mickey Big Mouth"
That is what it is being referred to as over on most of teh vette forums.

You'll get no argument from me on that. Or how about castrating the Regal in '88 and allowing it to limp along until just recently when they finally tied it to a tree and shot the poor thing? Yeah, I don't care how fast they make a car, they just don't look right to me anymore........I've said it before and I'll say it again, sadly I have to admit that if I were looking into a new (late model) car it would likely be a Mercury Merauder.
I forgot one more, the Cutlass. The Hurst Olds and 442 turned into a strictly granny car POS. My fiancee had a 95 Cutlass with 20K miles on it. Someone told her because of the miles she could get easily 8 grand for it. She tried, it didnt sell, I tried to explain the whole demand thing to her but she ended up getting 4 grand for it and buying a Camaro.
Which will also probably be a car GM ruins when they attempt to bring it back. At least they left the TA alone and let it die. Hopefully it wont come back like the Dodge Charger did.

DCEPTCN, you hit it right on the nose, the only decent looking "muscle" car out there is the Marauder, as much as i hate Ford......The new vette looks like a cheap Ferrari from the from and doesn't even look as good as the C5. However, they have done a great job with the suspension, drivetrain, and brakes, as well as the interior....but i'd still gof or a Z06 over that ugly duckling.....it really looks like a fag car
Here are my opinions: It looks like it is grinning. With the hood open, it looks like they tried to copy the Viper(pic008). The headlights are ugly. First thing I'd do is yank the clear cover, and paint the inside semi gloss black. The back of the car? It looks like a yellow Jersey Barrier with 4 red circles painted on it. Instead of the back curving down as it reaches the side, it should turn up. That would give a smaller rear quarter. The area behind the rear tires is much too tall. And I'd find a way to hide that ugly antenna at the top. What is that for? Onstar? I'd rather carry a spare key with me.
Of course, these are just my opinions, and even if they changed these things, I still would not buy one. I like my Buicks too much.
How do I really feel? It is one heck of a nice looking car. I do like it, but for me, it's not perfect. I like my mother's C-5 better. I keep asking her to race, but she won't. She knows the waGoN is faster! JK(I haven't asked her to race, but it is faster)

For real! I don't care if GM surprised us tomorrow with a car that ran 10's off the showroom floor, I still probably wouldn't lust after one because it'd look (undoubtedly) like a freakin' Mazda or something. Guys, the glory days are gone....protect your Buick with your life.

I was beside a brand new Chrysler 300C the other day on the local Southbound 405 parking lot and it was really a sinister looking vehicle. The Chrysler has, I believe, 340 horse under and the Merc Maruder 300. Not much of a contest here

Not sure if it's just the color, but it looks like it's made out of rubber, lol. Too smooth.... gross.
There's no doubt that Gm makes the ugliest assed cars around any more. I can't think of one that doesn't bore me to death or make me want to wretch.
Did get to see an '05 Mustang on a car carrier a few weeks ago, drove next to it for a minute or so, and do have to admit, it's fricken' SWEET.
I think the 300C's are cool too. Gimme one all black, tinted windows, mean exhaust, etc. I'd drive around the neighborhood, terrorizing women and small children, "The Car" style
