Above - April 28, 03 Jim Dunne scored the first C6 spy shots
and AutoWeek published them.
Above - May 2, 2003 - First good look at the creased front
fender. The voluptuous C5 curves were gone.
Above - This pix first seen Nov 12 but said to have been taken July 23, 2003
Above - We first saw the entire body shape without camo, and
got a hint of a high performance model to come with rear fender flares.
Above - November 16, 2003 - Two pix caught during a GM publicity
photo shoot by Benjamin Kopf IV of San Francisco and contributed to
CorvetteForum.com. He gets the BIG prize for the first shots of the final
version!
Above - December 21, 2003 - First complete look
Above - On Sunday evening, January 4, 2004 at 7:00 pm, the
2005 Corvette was officially announced to the world.
Spy Pictures - 2006 Corvette Z06
Above - June 20, 2004 - A
closer shot the same day. The first look at the fender flares.
Above - October 19, 2004 - Two Z06 test mules. Lots of
details to ponder.
Above - First released November 9, 2004 - Then, on November
10, 2004, GM asked several commercial sites to remove this picture. Must be
important.
Above - On Sunday evening, January 10, 2005 the 2006 Corvette
Z06 was officially announced to the world.
Spy Pictures - 2009 Corvette ZR1
Above - 2007-04-25 - An very early test car;
probably a lot earlier than the date I have on the picture.
Above 3 pix - 2007-02-22 - A kid
that apparently worked for a shipping company not only posted these pix on the
web, he actually bragged about taking the car for a spin. Major troubles ensued.
(The blue brakes are the real thing, the wheels are not.)
Above - 2008-01-14 - A pic from the first ZR1 to be sold - Barrett Jackson
auction. Selling an EX car? Turned out to be a stand-in car, not the actual
production car sold.
Above - 2007-10-19 - Above 3 pix from Laguna
Above - December 19, 2007 - Official
announcement day for the 2009 Corvette ZR1.
