Vette(s): 2005, C-6 Auto, polish wheels, Z-51
The C-6 is overall very AERO in appearance.
Tom Peters say: "There isn't one thing on this car that wasn't influenced by the wind tunnel."
Look at the C-6 at an angle and it has a clean and fluided succession of curves.
Look at the sharp edges that come into full view.
The drag coefficient target was .29
Which is more aggressive than the C-5.
430 hours (11 weeks) went into achieving the drag coefficient goal.
The results were, modifying the headlights, brakes-cooling inlet ducts, wheel opening size and shape and creating a more shallow side cover.
Even SIDE view mirrors were revamped to give up some drag.
