WOW...thats the first time I saw that pic. I like it. Not crazy about the wing though. I see it has the Callaway name on the bottom, maybe the wing is part of the Callaway "package".

Anyway, Im in the market for a 99-01 C5, and Im looking forward to the release of the C6's. They are sweet cars.

Thumbs up Very nice!

Maybe that boy-racer wing is an extra-cost deletion? I'll order mine well done...and hold the rice!

Question

I'm guessing NOT the real deal. Remember, the Cadillac XLR is built on the C6 platform. The C6 won't be all new, but instead a revisional upgrade of the C5.

That looks very much like the Callaway race car they tested in Europe a couple of years back.

A lot of the American designs are attractive and fast with the big V8s such as the Vette. However I will get the SC430 if I want a two-seater

That's EXACTLY what it is! The new C6 will look nothing like this people. If any of you get MT, they had an article I believe that was March issue. http://www.motortrend.com/future/spi...c6/index1.html

Default That is a 6 year old Callaway, not a Vette

Sorry, that is a Callaway concept car that they wanted to build. It was shown to a couple of magazines in 1994/1995 I want to say. I was nevery built. Gorgous car, IMO. Had nothing to do with GM.
