Default plain corvettes look so PLAIN now

one guy at work bought a Z06, then another guy started driving his.

and i see this one all the time:





the wide body kit REALLY makes Carl's car POP.

and now, at work, all the guys with garage queen regular corvettes are driving them to work,

and they look so FLAT and slab sided over the rear tire.

it's really weird how much that lip in the rear makes the car flow

man, i wish i could convince my Banker I need a Z06...

It looks like something is missing if you do the back quarters and not the front fenders, IMO.

Some look faster than they are. Had an officer one night underway ask me how it felt to be the 2nd fastest car on the ship. I ask who was the fastest...he said the Captains 405 crank C5...I laughed.
