Default How much are you willing to pay for REAL C6 pictures ?

Considering someone here in this Forum has a few C6 spy shots and would offer it to Forum members for a specific amount of money. All who are interested in seeing this pics collect some dollars together to see the pics. How much are you willing to put in the pot to see the C6 ?

I'd be somewhat skeptical. How would we possibly know if they were C6 pics?

Also, if true, several car mags would pay more than we could ever possibly get together on the forum. :skep:

Its just a poll. Consider the guy have some significant proof and wants to share the pics first with his Forum pals . . .

First I would want to know the quality of the pictures, what do they show, and is the car
camoflaged in the pictures in anyway.

The key word is Forum pals. I wouldn't charge ANYTHING to my forum pals. Magazines are another issue. I am here as part of an elite group of enthusiasts and not for profit. :cheers:

That said, I have put an envelope in the mail containing small unmarked bills, so email me the pictures.....:):):)

Not to rain on anyone's enthusiasm for the solidarity of our forum community, but why not make a buck on it. Sell the images to one of the magazines, and then they would print it for the whole world to see. Besides...if you post it on here, the mags will get it and print it eventually anyway. Here there are only about 45,000 viewers, but Car and Driver has many times that. Think about this....one full page ad in Car and Driver can run over 80,000 dollars. Think about what sort of budget that gives them. They could pay you a sizeable chunk of money for a good shot. It might even make the cover, in which case all your forum pals could see if for free by going to the news stand. Anyway, I just don't see how anyone would consider showing it here instead of selling it to a magazine. I'd love to witness the bidding war between Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Oh....and one could always try selling it BACK to GM.... Assuming they didn't flat out sue you, they might be willing to pay a hefty sum to keep it quiet. :) All that being said.....I'd pay 50 bucks for a look at a good shot with no camo. Maybe more if I had garantees about how good of a shot it was (like a publicity shot would be awesome)

No need. Saw the photo.

There are no more than "retro cues", meaning it did not get chunkier, like a C2. It's an evolution of the C5, actually lower and tighter than ever, with an even more agressive supercar body, and yes, with fixed lights.

I was going to buy an '03 Z06, but I'm passing. It's worth the wait.

Are you saying there actually is a photo? If so, how can I get my hands on it? I really want to see. Be kind :)

So who's is it, and how much do they want in exchange for a peek? :) Well I guess if it's not available it's not available. I do hope it shows up in a magazine soon. Otherwise I'll have to wait for next year's detroit show.

Isn't it funny that the only people who ever see a spy shot are newbies with 100 posts? How come nobody with any credibility even has a spy shot of anything? Makes ya wonder :rolleyes:

Scott, I believe that Jim Dunne was paid $10k for the first spy shots of the C5. A lot, but I would have expected more.

I think we all have a little to much time on our hands and are a litttle too impatient about waiting for the C6 to be responding to and making posts like these. We all jump on any info we can. Its crazy, not that im objecting or anything :crazy: :lol:
