    TWO GRAND for HEADLIGHTS?!?! Are the really THAT much better than the good old fashioned $10 ones? $2000 would be some pretty good night vision equipment now days. I guess that this is GM's plan to become profitable.

    I'm not seeing anywhere near the level of damage to the front end of the vette described. Maybe they're just crap photos but the windshield looks fine, the left headlight looks fine, hood looks fine, even the foglights look fine.


    The bumper cover, right headlight and right fender clearly need replacement and the structure beneath the bumper probably needs to be replaced "for good measure" but it still looks drivable.

    @Flathead Smith: I want to make a self-deprecating comment about how the Z06 might have still ended up with ten grand of damage, but can't quite bring myself to do it. You guys already covered the sexist jerk aspect for me, so uh... thanks.


    TAI, thanks for adding that last bit of commentary :) People like you make me feel welcome here.

    I remember being a kid and getting this really awesome BB gun as a gift, had it for two days when one of the other kids wanted to 'look at it' - I had not yet learnt to tell people to look with their hands and not their eyes.


    All these years later I'm still bitter about that damn fool breaking my new BB gun. I'm just sayin'...

    "Le Mans Blue (Okay fine, Jet Stream Blue)"


    I don't know if you're trying to reference the C4 Grand Sport, but that color was Admiral Blue not Le Mans. If you weren't then please pay no attention to the crazy Vette guy.

    @Fourstring85:


    Kudos and a heart-click for admitting to being enough of a Corvette fan to know that.


    On the note of heart clicks, whenever I go into my profile, I can't see the heart clicks in the lists of friends/followers. I don't think that it a browser issue, as I have tried Chrome, Safari, IE, and Firefox, but it made no difference.


    Has anyone else noticed this?


    (And yes, I emailed Pete about it yesterday, even though I don't know if he has any control over that.)

    Is it wrong of me to have never wanted a Corvette?

    This just makes me want one even less, if that is even possible. Hell, I rather have a Corvair than a Corvette.

    Not a bad use of creative parts bin mix and matching. Not sure just how exciting a development this really is.


    With the dry sump, will the engine be lowered in its subframe? If not, all you'll bet is slightly more reliable oiling, and I hadn't heard that was a problem.


    Also, where is the 0.2 seconds saved? At the car wash? At the lease signing ceremony? on my personal Ringtime? Inquiring minds and all.

    The fender stripe brings back a memory of my first car, a CJ-7. I bought new "Jeep" stickers to use on the pressed-steel "Joop" that used to appear on the fenders of Jeeps.


    However, I thought I would be cool and put the "Jeep" sticker diagonally across the curve of the hood, kinda like the stripes on the C4 Grand Sport.


    That car didn't get me laid once.
