In the immortal words of Jeremy Clarkson, "Leaf Springs!"

That being said, I'd take this over the fat-ass GT-R.

It's nice to see some bolstered seats finally and a dash not lifted straight from an econobox.

Yea, first thing I thought was that it looked kind of Camaro-ish. I haven't seen pics of the interior at all, hopefully it's better than the older ones and has a higher build quality on the interior. Any exterior pics of any in white?

Not too shabby, has some good lines, dont like the rear end much though. Steering wheel looks gross. haha

**Kracka** · 01-14-2013

I wonder how one of these would be a for a DD? 450/450 makes it more powerful than my car, most likely with a fatter powerband, and at a lower weight.

**Murlo26** · 01-14-2013

Looks pretty awesome to me!

What is base price for a base vette, like 55ish usually? Going to need to wait ~2years before I would consider buying one. Which works as by then you will have good aftermarket support and know if its a turd or not.

**Kracka** · 01-14-2013

Right now rumors are saying ~$54k base price for the Stingray (which will be the base model).

I'd have a hard time not having a RWD car in Texas. Especially if I could start over with no giant investment in the evo.

**Kracka** · 01-14-2013

RWD V8 does make sense down here; long fast highways with minimal inclement weather. When we do get it, everything shuts down anyway. I wish I could find my pics of the Z06 driving through the snow though.

And get better MPG to boot

I wonder what the numbers to the wheels will be once we start seeing dynos...

**asshanson** · 01-14-2013

Haha those pics of the C5Z in snow were funny.
54k is a price jump, the C6 base 1LT was 46k or something. I think my 3LT had a 53k sticker price. Maybe they are including more standard features on the base model.

True on both counts; what really matters is what it'll put to the wheels.

I'd have to imagine anywhere from 380 to a hair over 400whp. Depending on what day of the week the car was made.

2013 C6 base price is $49k. More standard performance features on the base model now, CF roof and hood, aluminum frame, etc. An extra 20 hp too.

**asshanson** · 01-14-2013

Ah yea I was thinking of the early LS2 models, I think they were a bit cheaper. I wonder if they will offer a clear roof option again.

3 options for the roof, painted CF, bare CF or clear.

Thats about what the 430hp LS3 C6s made to the tires stock.

I dig it. Finally a stingray that does not make me puke. IMO if they would have gone with a diff rear end design it would be that much better.
