new Z06 pictures!

The wheel arches/brake ducts look a bit awkward, but otherwise I like it a lot. F430 Modena performance in a package roughly 1/3 the cost. Yes please!

Actually, that looks like the back tire. Notice the caliper is forward, whilst the front calipers are on the other side of the rotors.

I really hope that 2900 lb. weight isn't true. Why? Because I can't conceive of a way that Chevrolet could take 300 lbs. out of the car without making it much more expensive. For reference's sake, the C5 Z06 was about 100 lbs. lighter than the normal C5.
The C6 Z06 is a cool car whatever the price, but I hope they keep it accessible to average people -- I'd rather see a $50000, 3100 lb. Z06 than a $60000, 2900 lb. one.

The caliper in the above picture is on the right, while the one in the below is on the left. Explain that!
Nevermind! The above picture might've been taken on the other side.

I imagine all non-AWD cars with 0-60 times under four seconds are traction limited.

The stock C6 is pretty much on par with the old Z06 for mid-40's. I expect the new Z06 to push the envelope past the performance of the F430 just a bit (maybe not all-around, but single lap times and accel contests) for $65k - $70k and the blue devil should be quite a bit faster then the Ford Gt pushing into carrera GT and Enzo territory for 1/4 the cost.
