I love it...

From what I can tell it is mostly the Z06 owners who hate this?

Most Z06 owners don't care... Just a few haters that think it's a "faux Z06" but the argument is WHO is calling it a Z06? Unless you've got badges or tell someone it's a Z06 how is it fake?

Here's my pic.

You left one option out...."I like it so much that I added it to my car as soon as I got it"

My wife thought I was crazy for taking apart a brand new car....

No. Most Z06 owners don't care and rightly so. A select very vocal group of folks who derive their own identiity from owning the "one true Z form" are the ones. Everyone else understands that these are our cars and we want them to be how we want them. They are all corvettes.

After doing heads, cam, 4.10's and few other mods I needed wider rear tires just to get traction. Widebody did the trick. And yes the repeater lamps work.

The poll choice for "just don't like the widebody look" is missing.

I don't think widebody enthusiasts are necessarily posers, I just think the C6 body style looks better than the Z06.
