For some reason i think the designers for the corvette get inspired by the NSX.
360 headlights + NSX = C6!
But i liked the C6. The C6 seen in person is going to look much better than a C5.
It is not the first time that Corvette shows the headlights. The C1 Corvettes (1953-1962) had exposed headlights.

dont like the front of the car
Rookie
The front is the best part of the car!Originally Posted by SL500
Does anyone know the car's performance figures and engine specs? Like 0-60mph time and HP and torque numbers?

I have heard rumors from GM that they are planing on putting a 427 into a blue Corvette. Can anyone back this up?
Rookie
never thought I'd say that about a Chevy. It does look a bit japanese in front...but it's still hot! I love the wheels, the shorter rear overhang and of course the 400 hp V-8. I kinda wish they hadn't increased displacement anymore, they're edging closer to Viper land, but you can't argue with 50 more horse at the expense of .30 liters.
Congratulations Chevy, I think I'm a full fledged Vette fan now. I didn't think it could be done! I just can't wait to see the next Z06 or whatever they call it, I can only imagine what they'll do with the (drools) LS6 engine. Boring/Stroking anyone?
P.S. Knowing Chevy, it'll be boring.

Performance times?
Estimated by some magazines, took averages:
0-60 (mph) 4.0
0-100 - 9.5
1/4 mile - 12.5 @ 113.00 mph
Slalom (mph) - 69.5
Skidpad (g) - .93
Theoretical- may not be accurate!

The almost retro rear end is fan(bloody)tastic!
The front is too modern for me, it does look a bit japanese-ish.
Can't wait for my next 'Car n Driver' - somebody tell me what it's like to drive - please.

I've seen claimed skid g's over 1.0!

that wasn't a concept, that was a 50th anniversary version externally modded to make it look more like the vettes of old, notice the sides and its open lights. Not sure what company did the mods but I know a company did it other than chevy.
oh, it comes stock with 400 hp, Z06 should have 500 hp, and a special blue Devil Version will have 600 hp.
