I also think Chevy's doing a pretty good job of offering very differently defined Corvette models, not just paint and sticker deals. The Z06, ZR1, and this new competition package seem like pretty serious and diverse models. It's not like they're making a Corvette version of the Sunfire GTX.

The interior of the C6 is the only thing that bugs me about the car. And I own a 2002 C5. Bring the Corvette's interior up to the same standard as the new CTS', put some nice Recaro seats in there, and call it a day. The automotive journalists would have very little to complain about then!

Proving, as usual, that you're just another ignorant GM hater with poor grammar, (not in that sentence, but in general, it's painful to read your posts, for a number of reasons). Who does the Corvette belong to, if not Chevrolet? If you're going to hold their mistakes against them, you have to give them credit for their successes. And Catherine Zeta-Jones is a no talent has-been. I wonder what they're planning for this. Another stab at OHC maybe? I know that was the ZR1, but that car has a new formula. “It belongs to Chevy like a zit to Catherine Zeta-Jones.”
