Corvette Model Gallery

2005 Coupe

The C6 debuted in the 2004 Detroit Auto Show.  Later, the convertible was announced in Geneva.  The C6 is not a radical departure from the C5.  The frame, chassis and many other components were upgrades based on the C5 platform.  Externally, one of the biggest changes is the exposed headlights, ending a tradition that started back in 1963.  The C5 was most likely the last production car in the world to use hidden headlights.  The engine is the new LS-2, a 6.0 liter small block from the Gen-III family of engines.  It produces 400 HP and 400 lbs/ft of torque. 

The model

This is the first C6 model I built.    The model goes together very nice, but I found too late that the wheels do not align perfectly center wise in the wheel well. Other than that the kit goes together very nice. Paint is Cobra Colors Daytona Sunset Orange. Modifications include opened front grille, engine wiring, oil dipstick, additional emblems in the air intake and center console, seatbelts, seatbelt latches, valve stems, fuel line, and some others I don't remember...
