This has always been my argument about the vette. If I want to spend 70k or more I don't want it to look the exact same as the 50k model. That's why I have always preferred the viper in the high end American cars. I know the new z06 is going to be a beast but I just couldn't justify spending that much on a car that looks the same as a car half its price. But I'm also not hitting my midlife crisis yet

Same here. I'm not saying the car won't be a beast but I would hate to spend 100k on a car and everyone that isn't a gear head comes up and says, "nice vette, my grandfather has one just like it"

Exactly the same?

Different front bumper, front splitters, front fenders, side skirts, rear fenders, rear bumper, tail lights, emblems... yup. Exactly the same.

I found that comment amusing considering the Mustang crowd is absolutely the worst about cars looking similar with so many Stangers running the same body mods and wheels. lmao.

These should be your new favorite wheel! Drag oriented, black mesh, and no rivets!

Yes like I said a car guy will know the difference. 90% of the people you meet will not.

True but, still that same 90% won't know the difference between a 5.0 and a base Mustang or even a GT500.

With the ZO6 you get different everything except roof panel, mirrors, doors and trunk. Everything else is completely different. It's a Corvette so it does have to look like... *gasp* a Corvette. What are people expecting the ZO6 to look like? Not a Corvette?

Finally, you made a point I agree with that doesn't make me smack my forehead so hard I almost KO myself.

It's silly to expect non-car people to know the difference from one model to another. Most of the general public still believe silly shit like a stock Lambo or Veyron are the fastest cars on the road too not having a clue how many 1200hp+ cars are running around these days. lol
