I didn\'t notice any difference between the pervious version and this Corvette.

Now that Mustang looks good :)  I really like the looks of the 05 GT, but its first year model too many kinks that need to be ironed out.

Even though the C6 technically isn\'t a Chevy I will always consider it one.  I hate Chevy\'s. ;)

The older GT40s were nicer IMO. Although they say its the Ford GT, its still the GT40 to me :)

The 40 in GT40 is for 40 inches tall but the new one is taller than 40 inches if I remember right.  :)

Pretty nice looking car, now to see if you need to be sea-worthy before attempting a corner.

THey had the GT at SEMA as well.  Nice looking car.  Don\'t think we\'ll see many on the streets though.  I saw that Corvette is making a version of their car to compete with the GT.  

I\'d rather have a ferrari.

The Magnetic Ride is pretty interesting.  At least if it\'s what I think it is.

They have small metal beeds in the fluid of the shocks.  They have a computer that senses the road every 100th of a second (Or something like that).

They use magnets on the shocks to make the fluid in the shocks either more or less thick by charging the magnet and acting on the metal beeds.  

Aparently it works so well you can barely feel railroad tracks.  They use it on cadillacs as well.

Cool shit.

The gt is nice. Its so friggin tiny. Like a stepping stool almost. Anyway, that magnet thing is insane. I wonder what theyll do next. And yes vid, Ferraris are great. Some of my favorite cars ever. And while not as fast, you cant count out the M5. Thats a beauty.

But you know, screw all the rest of those cars i want this :D :p
