The rt front wheel is compressed into the wheelwell. Making the front end look like it is down and there is rake to the car.
The right rear wheel has less weight on it so that the backend appears higher.

I saw the pictures wherever it was, including my first shot, stopping the flash at chevrolet.com
Then I came towards here to see the official Corvette photos.
INTERIOR
Love it. Everything about it. It is great, and I think GM has been improving. Though I'm still not sure, I know that this is it. I love the car, and how it looks. These photos are great!
EXTERIOR
The exterior makes the Corvette look like a Ferrari. I love it, everything about it. Any engine information though? Can't wait till it comes out!
Chevy's web site has the ad in Quicktime.
;-)

Another link with specs and descriptions. Especially like the 400/400 and the better gearing for the next Z51.
NOW, ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS THE PRICING!!!....As long as it's in the same ball park as the C5 I'm buying, just going to wait a little while, let the hype settle down........
There are plenty of reasons to buy a Corvette if you haven't yet. That said, I am still glad that I bought my 2003 Coupe. Much of what was really great about the later-stage C5 (like Magnetic Selective Ride Control) has migrated to the C6, while some enhancements (such as the improved braking) of the C6 can be addressed with after-market solutions for the C5. As I said at the beginning of this post, evolutionary improvement.
Come to think of it, I am the leading edge of the Baby Boom and with 17 years of bulk behind me I'm betting there are more than a few who will try one of these and like me, even though they never saw a Vette in their future, decide it's time to enjoy what they worked for all those years. Rather than run around on 4 wheels and brakes.
Then I got the Vette since I fit compared to many others I looked at. Now I've been to two performance driving schools and I've take my car to Sears Point twice. On Saturday I'll be spending the day at Laguna Seca.
Yup, seen that ad too many times already - Comedy Central, USA Network, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. Whew!
Just to say: The C6 goes 0-60 in 4.3 secs.
Overall, GM seems to be the American car company to watch. It's about time, too.
which are the corvette-specific forums/internet sites taking orders for the 2004? I am interested.
thanks.

Of course I would never, never, never buy a first year GM car and did I say never? Maybe I will consider a 2006 or 7 when the quality is up to speed and the pricing becomes reasonable.
The C5 is a fun car but the interior is a real weakness and the styling while nice does not compare to the new C6 IMHO. And the drivetrain seems very exciting.
The new Mazda RX8 gets terrible gas milage for a car that has relatively little horsepower while the Chevy smallblock is rated for 28MPG on the highway with 400 horsepower. Talking about having your cake and eating it too.
Cant wait to see and drive it.
Looks like the C6 will be about a half-second back.
And the Ford GT about a half-second ahead.

...and it's actually 1001hp.
A link would be very helpful.
Waving at you...
If you go to the links at the right of that page has lots of info. I'm guessing that GMBuyPower now has data up as well.
The Corvette is great, it just needs some features to have the same stuff like the big Euro super cars (Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Benz). I'm really hoping for a production Blue-Devil, though it'll never actually happen in my generation.
The C5 had Active Handling and HUD which at the time were within a year of anyone else having it. The Corvette AH system is switchable, on, off or Competition modes which is tremendous in a car some what to take to the track. The HUD is something that once I got used to it, I look for in everything I drive and am constantly disappointed.
"and finally, Chevrolet should make it mandatory for dealers to put people on an ordering list (like practically everyone is on to buy a Chevy)."
Don't follow this, what is the issue? Current allocation system keeps a low volume vehicle so that there is enough in each area to have the local service tech's get experience with the car. Without an allocation system you would have the dealers bidding against each other, now the bigger dealers lower the price to keep the allocation which is good for the buyer.
I could agree more with all the EU comments if the models that compete with the C5 were close in price or if the ones close in price were very close in performance. GM may have shortcomings but the whole package in the C5 was a great deal for the last few years. The C6 looks to be more of the same at another step up, if they have fewer new model issues than in past years.
Incidentally, my 84 vette was the worst car I ever had and my 02 Tahoe is by far the best. I think GM has come a long way... hope the C6 will be troublefree from day one. (And hope my back will last long enough for another vette.)
If you want a Corvette but want all that coddling stuff, buy an XLR. Or for those who need OHC.
