new american car

Well, I stopped reading after the first line of eurosnobbsim, but damn, that car is gorgeous. It looks the way the C6 Corvette should always have looked like from the beginning. (It's based off the Corvette C6, right..?)

its a Calla-rari Martin...

Wow, that's pretty nice. Ludicrous orange, 616bhp, 3.3 seconds to sixty and a top whack of 206mph, figures are good, hopefully it drivers pretty well aswell.

and the engines tuned like a corvette should
616 bhp is way better than 500

I HATED THE FRONT GRILL OMFG THATS REALY UGLY!!!

I Preffer My Vette!

But The car still incredible.... only this grill is the problem of Design LoL!

£61,000 for those sort of performance figures? Bargain. Paint all the same colour though, bahhh. Looks good though.

front grill reminds of the discontinued camaro (last gen)..front end reminds me of the Shelby series 1..

I like the front grill. It makes it look cute, which is a good thing. I assume it's slightly more efficient than the grill of a Vette as well.

it looks like its smiling

^Damn straight. This car is God's gift for us! All those new cars all look angry. They're really getting on my nerves. They damper my mood 24/7 - which is why I couldn't help but flushing a picture of a LP640 down the loo the other day.

^i agree, there was no need for them to critisize how there was no V16 engine, it doesn't need one, those preformance figures for that price on a car is awesome.

Wow. For the performance of this thing it's a great price. It also looks pretty good. Even without that crazy orange colour, it would still look intimidating, and it would stand out wherever it went. If you want a car that gets you attention, you might want to get this thing, and make sure it's orange.

What the hell did they think it would be... a V16??? lol

Somehow I am not excited by this creation. It's a beefed up vette with better suspension and brakes... for a loooot of money. Hurray.

Okay, look at that. It looks like a baby Aston Martin (DB7 maybe?). Even the badge looks the same!!!

that is what I was thinking. like the wierd offspring of a camero, corvette, and an Aston-Martin.

im not too stoked about this car. the callaway sledgehammer was way cooler, they should have just made a corvette really really insane again.

The figures are great.

BUT

DAMN that thing is HIDEOUS!!!!! What is this the pumpkin edition?

Ok but I preferred the C7R.

I wonder what the rear-end of this car looks like....

I guess the C6 is being used to create whole conversions rather than just the simple bumpers and skirts. I wonder if there would be another Mako Shark conversion like there was for the C5.

The rear-end on this looks kinda Ferrari-ish...

Different source, different specs

I like this though.. looks innocent but dangerous, just like Electra King in The World Is Not Enough. :)
Love the engine.. 616bhp.. and 0-60 in just 3.3seconds. I prefer this one over the LP640.. depends..

Looks disgusting, I prefer the Corvette.

The Euro snobbing was rubbish to read as well.

Edit: My intention is not to hijack this thread against Top Gear or Clarkson so I'll leave the actual content alone.

I live the car and shape but not the two tone paint job. I never thought fancy exteriors suited Corvettes, maybe just a hood budge or inlet.

dont much like callaway, i much prefer lingenfelter

ewww....i dont like it, its like a camaro + corvette, ill still get the corvette for sure, looks very ugly, the rear looks quite cool, similar to a astom or somethin, looks pretty good...

Took me a while but I found a pic. here you go:

http://www.lavoice.org/images/blog/autoshow07/callawayc16.jpgThe buttress C-pillars and the tail lights seem like blatant copies of the 599 GTB, but it doesn't looks as good as the Ferrari from the rear anyway.
But the duct behind the rear wheel probably helps wheel well extraction, so it still prawns the Ferrari in my book.

I prefer this one over the LP640.. depends..


us sure about that :p ??

I prefer it to the LP640 as well. It's not as exclusive, but it's probably just as fast and not as evil.
...I guess I might have to see the interior of this one first though.

i like the rear..the front looks like a funny car,with those curved in front bumpers.

It looks alot like a funny car IMO. The price is pretty good considering the performance. The only thing is, you wouldn't cover a mile before a cop pulled you over. lol

when you think about it most americans cars are really well priced

i think it looks pretty nice myself..

Its quite a good car IMO, the numbers look tempting and styling wise isnt that bad....

baby db7 with a bit of sebring and a sprinkle of focus st paint job.
