[DeTomaso] CORVETTE STYLING chaparalls/FWIW/Dick Ruzzin

[Dickruzzindesign at aol.com]

I have a C-6 and use it every day. When the car first came out many Corvette 
fans naturally had preconceived ideas of what it should be and did not agree 
with the look. I have not seen or heard any complaints since. The car works so 
well it is hard to fault.
The packaging is very skillfully executed. Plenty of interior space, great 
luggage capacity, high fuel economy for the 400 hp.

Aerodynamic drag is outstanding with a CD of .285, this with a fairly large 
radiator. Wind noise is non existent and the low drag contributes to the high 
top speed and low fuel economy. The radiator position and packaging is a 
cooling textbook case. 

I think it looks great, the proportions are excellent and the car works very 
well as a daily driver.
I also had a C-5, this car is five inches shorter and   that makes a big 
difference.

The other day I had it on my lift and it is amazing how far automotive 
development and manufacturing has come in the last thirty years. The parts are so 
simple in shape, the half shafts are only about 35 millimeters thick.

It is a great car that gives a lot of enjoyment very easily, I would not 
hesitate to buy another. 

All the best,
