Default C6 Z06 Pic

I found this pic of a C6 Z06. Looks nice, just not my color. Try @ the bottom of this site: http://www.corvettesbyrickdaniel.com/C6INFO.html

That pic isn't an accurate representation partly because the C6 Z06 will have the fastback rear glass, just like the Coupe.

Scissors,

That's the first I've actually seen anyone say that (I may have missed it). Do you know that for sure?

Thanks! :cheers:

Shouldn't be, since it's been said for a while that the C6 hardtop will have the Coupe's roofline. The C5 hardtop was a styling SNAFU and the only way they were able to save it was to give it a better engine. This time they won't make the same mistake. This time the higher-performance 'Vette will actually be able to go faster than the base level one.

Does that mean that the C6 Z06 will have a Targa top? :D :eek:

Sorry, but it's logical the Z06 is not the same as a Coupe. Glass weighs quite a bit, and a FRC body is more rigid and more balanced.

Maybe i'm just in the minority, but I actually chose to buy a FRC b/c I prefered the hardtop styling over the coupe. I find the rear styling to be more aggressive and chose it over the coupe....so i guess i wouldn't consider it a "SNAFU".

You're not in the minority, I don't like the big glass back end of the coupe either.

Newsflash, the new C6 Coupe has a reduced rear glass size. This'll make it even easier for the next performance model to use thinner glass if they want to.

Newsflash #2, the FRC is no more rigid/balanced than the convertible is.

PeteyPete: I agree with you wholeheartedly. I've always preferred the FRC look to the coupe look. But, looks are entirely subjective.

scorp508: If you can't feel the difference between an FRC and a convertable, you need to either sample a few more or have your a** recalibrated.

I think it will look like a Coupe but have a fixed roof.
The Coupe has less drag and I'd think that would be of help for the Z06

First I've heard of that. Only thing I've heard is that the Z06 version will be much easier to distinguish from the coupe.

Felt the same way which is why I bought my 2000 FRC. Since then I've also had a 2001 and a 2003 Z06. Love the lines of the hardtops.

I'd like to see your empirical research data to back up this statement.
