NO...those gaps are not crazy. Like on the plastic-panel Saturns, on fiberglass-body Corvettes you have to have them to allow for thermal expansion in hot weather or in the sun. Otherwise you couldn't open the doors or the hood. Steel and aluminum panels generally don't have that problem....hence much narrower gaps.

hate it... personally... headlights arent that bad.. i just dont like the shape and overall styling of it.. also agreed.. its not even close to exotic... it is a good value.... makes great power for the price... reliability... eh.. sucks but hell what do you expect from GM. good value if you want a new sportscar with a lot of raw power. if you want some real style and class.. and a great driving experience go for the M3.

I went and saw the C6 yesterday and let me tell you, it is impressive in person. The door releases inside and outside are very cool, and the interior is much more refined. A red coupe with NAV and other options I'm not sure of came in right around 50k. Awesome deal. On a side note I asked the Corvette specialist about the upcoming Z06-like model, and he said it will be called the Z06 and have at least 500 hp. It'll be released as a concept in January at the Detroit auto show. Hello Viper killer.
