The better looking derrière?

Googled 2016 mid engine corvette....Really impressive photos....First car to come to mind as far as looks was the Ferrari 360...I think the car will be a hit if in fact Chevy goes through with the design....

And, holy cow - Can you believe the performance level they put into new Corvettes! Just wow. At Road Atlanta I was passed by a Z06 so fast it was almost shocking. He probably had the A/C on.

Speaking about derrieres, I sure wish there was some kind of great looking (and inexpensive) rear spoiler/wing for C4's. I haven't seen any (except for purpose built race cars, which would probably look silly on a street car).

Share your thoughts, Russ, on both the C7 (loved it fr Day 1 and love the Z06 even more) and a modest spoiler for the ZR-1s (something subtle - like on the M3s perhaps).

It's going to need to be incredible after the debut of the Ford GT.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Maybe that is why GM Trademarked Manta Ray

That GT is a beast.....I remember when Ford put them out...The pricing I believe was around 140-150 thousand....

On the block there going between 220-240 thousand if I remember correctly,used...
Talk about an investment..Maybe I should have used my equity to buy one back in the day instead of a home in Florida ....Lol....Its all good ....

If that mid engine looks as good as the photos I saw it will be a hit......Than again I remember when I saw some preliminary sketches of the ZR1 back in the day and I was like "wow"...

To be honest when the car debuted It looked nothing like the scetches I saw....Honestly, my first thought was --"it looks like a regular C-4 Corvette....I thought, no hood scoops? No aggressive lines? The motor? Sure back in 90 it was untouchable....But the styling I feel was too close to the regular C4...

Months ago I was at a car show out in Long Island NY....I happen to park mine next to a 96..Car was in showroom condition...After a few hours the owner goes " hey I just noticed the back of your Vette is a lot wider than mine"....I was like dude, you serious?...If there is anything a corvette owner knows is the width of the rear on a C4 ZR1....

It's one of the most noticeable changes Chevy did to the body when they designed the ZR1..
