I'd hit it.
Someone stole the 6.6 hood scoop off of it! :o
Yeah, that's a tad cheesy, but maybe it'll look better in person...Quote:

Nice, but at $100k I would never get one no matter what.
That's pretty cool... but I'm not feeling the "boy racer" bits, like the see-through hood and all of the unpainted carbon fiber.
Honestly? If I had that kind of money to spend on a car, I'd rather spend $70k on a 2009 Nissan GTR, or buy a "regular" Z06.
Don't get me wrong, I love the new GTR... but I'd rather have a Z06 than a GTR. And if I had the bucks, I'm not sure I wouldn't pick the new ZR-1 over a 911 Turbo - I'm a sucker for big, bad, filthy American V8s. If you've got that kind of money anyway, you can get that goofy "blower window" fixed - and it is effing goofy, especially the more I look at it...Quote:

I'm another one of the I'd rather have a gtr than a z06 persons. I am also apart of the I don't like GM very much crowd also though.
That looks like a nightmare to work on.
I told myself I would never buy a Vette... and then the C6 came out. :D
Only gripe I still have is the interior...
Why does a $35K Audi TT have a nicer interior than the Vette?
Why does the MK5 GTI Pkg2 at $26K have better seats and a better steering wheel?
Why wont Chevy charge an extra $4K and put a nice interior in the Vette?
If you select the 4LT package on an '08 Vette you get the Custom leather wrapped interior.Quote:

include:
Two-tone, leather-wrapped upper and lower instrument panel, door pads and seats
Choice of new, exclusive colors: Linen or Sienna, with unique color breakup
Padded door panel armrests
“Corvette” embroidered on passenger-side dash pad
Embroidered crossed flags logo on headrests
Unique center trim plate with Bias pattern.
For that price the interior should already be top notch... cheap bastards.
Am I the only one who is turned off by a high powered sports car with a luxury interior? :)
I much prefer a sports car to have a minimalist, low distraction, down to business interior.
I would agree. If you want a GT car, then get a GT car. Otherwise, a sports car should be all about raw feel and emotion.Quote:

However, good seats are important, they just don't need to be upholstered in leather. In fact, for me, leather is a no-no, I prefer cloth. A good seat should hold you firmly upright in the seat and keep you there.Quote:

Further, minimalist is no excuse for shoddy. All panels should fit together firmly and more importantly the floor mats should be firmly held in place.
I used the word firm too much, but I think that word more than any other describes a good sports car.
I never said luxury.Quote:

I agree it shouldnt be lux... screw IDrive, voice comands, steering wheel control buttons etc.
I have seen pics of that package but never have seen it in the flesh.Quote:

I would prefer to see more driver centric design and a better steering wheel.

It's a bit more than just a leather wrap, run to your local Chevy dealer I'm sure they would be happy to show ya the package. ;)Quote:

From what I can tell by driving customer cars at work, the new GM interiors are getting pretty nice...and as much as I love Audi/VW I'm seeing a shocking about of those cars come it with interiors falling apart.
BTW XM_Rocks, even a BMW or Bentley's nice leather interior still has crappy plastic or metal underneath!
