Picture Of 2005 Z06
The link below takes you to a picture of the new 2005 C6 Z06.
Apparently GM is freaking out over the leak of this picture.
All comments are welcome and I am posting a Poll with this thread so that we all can track people's reaction to the car.

What kind of color is that? It looks really different in the pic...maybe just the lighting but I like it.

I liked it. The changes are not wild or crazy. The front scoop could be a bit larger if its functional to bring in cool air. I guess that the scoop in the back is for the rear brakes, like it, good look. The main thing is, and I am sure all agree, if it has 500 hp, man what a screamer, that would be sweet.

I like the black color...looks mean. Now I just need to wait for the performance numbers.

It's not a real color, because it's not a real picture. It's a 3D computer drawing.

I can't wait for this thing to be released, and if it is $52,000 I am going to faint. I am probably going to have to wait for the 2006, though, since my store still hasn't had a grand opening yet!

Really like the look of this car.
As for the pic being real - another forum had this picture up and then at the request of GM, they removed it.
Apparently this picture is an "embargoed" photograph that was intended for release in January, 2005.
Draw your own conclusions.
