Do you remember the Gran National/T-Type and Syclone/Typhoon?
That's why I said "TT" (twin turbo)... I can never picture a Vette getting turbocharged from the factory.

I'm convinced that it's close. But not sure that it is the final product. The spy pics from Autoweek show a slightly different rear end and the front and back do not look like a final product. Probably Chevy generating some buzzzz

Everyones entitled to their own opinion but if Corvettes sucked so much I dont think they would make them for like 50 years. And I dont think they would be on front of magazines, and I dont think race car drivers would use them on those one kind of races.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.... That's probably the funniest thing I've read all day... So you're bashing one of the greatest performance bang for your buck performance cars ever made? I find it hard to believe that any car enthusiast, no matter what type of car they own or are into, can bash a car like a Corvette. No matter what type of car you affiliate yourself with, you must be able to realize the greatness of supercars, whether it be a Corvette, a Skyline GT-R, or a BMW M series. It's unfortunate that people divide themselves into Domestic vs Import groups, or Japanese vs European groups, because by dismissing the virtues of a group of cars based on a stereotype, a person is missing out on a truly great car because of some preconceived notion of what the car is like. Broaden your horizons once in a while, look at different types of cars and be aware of the virtues as well as the drawbacks of each type before you make a blanket statement like "domestics suck" or "imports suck". An enthusiast should be supporting any superior car, not just those that are made in certain places in the world.

I agree poorcollegekid. Love the username BTW. It's funny he says that when the Corvette out-performs sports cars 80,000 and under. But I guess that doesn't matter? Oh well. Probably jealous he doesn't own one, or has never been in one cause the car is amazing. I'll agree on the interior that it is cheasy, but performance wise, it's a awesome.

This is funny. The Evo forum knows lots about Evo's. Others well... Pictures and drawings of the next generation Corvette, the C6, have abounded for quite some time mostly in cyberspace. Now that the car will be introduced two months from now at the Detroit International Auto Show there is even more hype.

This is about as funny as the Corvette Forum being excited about the next generation Evo.

The plant in Bowling Green normally open to the public for tours will be closed to the public while new tooling is installed to build C6's and C5's at the same time. They have of course built some C6's already. These new tools will work along side exisiting tooling to allow production of both models and to test the production line.

It is an exciting time for Corvette fans. Even ones that are fortunate to drive both.
