Personally, the dash in this car reminds me of some really crappy low end cars...it looks bad. The button things around the tach/spedo are the worst offenders.

Enzo = Supercar
Corvette = Sportscar.
The fact that they have comparable stats to begin with says deals about the Corvette.
IMO, C5 Z06 styling was MUCH better on the front end, though the overall body is an improvement. They keep getting sexier every year. I don't like the fact that they pushed through the C5's so fast, it had alot of potential left, and Chevy knows it, there's something up.
Oh, and the new El Camino....
Bad.

I'll get one someday... someday, I tell you. I read some interesting stuff about it at corvetteforums.com, apparently with the redesigned suspension, it goes through a lap at some road course (not sure where) almost as fast as the current ZO6 does. A base corvette as fast as the ZO6? I'm interested. Also, the new ZO6 is expected to have around 500 horsepower, so Viper fans eat your collective hearts out. 500 HP + sub-3000 lb. weight + shorter gear ratios = goodbye Dodge 
I like the fact that Chevy ditched the old 5.7L engine. Great engine IMO, but they needed a change. Personally I think Chevy should ditch Pushrods alltogether and go to a cammed engine (the ZR1 of days of yore had twin cams, and it is still the fastest Vette ever in top speed). It takes too much of the engine energy away to work the pushrods, and cams allow the engine to spin a lot higher, creating a better top end. Also, I hope that the new six speed is actually a six speed, because the one thats in C5's currently is more of a five speed with a gas-saving 6th gear (33 MPG in a vette aint bad, bud I'd rather see lots of acceleration. Seriously, if you buy a Corvette, you shouldn't be worried about gas )
But thats just my two cents. Anybody got change?

that is the first that i had heard anything about the performance so i hope you are right. most comparisons between the C5 Z06 and the newest viper have shown that the vette is actually better overall. for one they are cheaper. second they handle corners better because they dont have quite as much power, so they dont want to spin out around corners. but the viper does have more horsepower. but hopefully that factor changes and the 2005 corvette becomes better in every way than the viper.Witty said:I'll get one someday... someday, I tell you.

also, in le mans races etc., the corvette seems to own currently as well.
Vipers suck and are way over rated. If you enjoy crashing into walls at 120mph and getting yourself killed then by all means drive a Viper. Horrible cars, to heavy, hard to drive, and don't live up to the high price tag. They accelerate fast and make good drag race cars, but otherwise forget it, they suck.

lol you can't judge a Viper from playing Gran Turismo
lol, i think it is true though. the do have bad handling and are overpowered. id take a vette over a viper any day.

lol, I'm not juding a Viper from playing GT, ask anyone who has driven one or read reviews of the car. It really is a horrible handling car.
And besides what do you know about GT? I had to help you just get through the amatuer part of the simulation mode. You went crying to your over sized xbox.
GT40 is a nice car. but to get one of those new ones it will cost you. GT40s, Shelbys, and some mustangs are the only fords the i like at all.
To bad you can't buy a GT40, there were only 10 made in 1968, and they went for $18,500, but not one bought them. Ford auctioned one off last year but otherwise ford has the other 9 including the one that won two 24 hour La Man races, which is a legendary car that is priceless.
i think that they were going to make a production GT40 sometime soon. they had a concept of a new one out, but i am not sure if it made it or not.
