So I did not spend a whole bunch of time studying the pics, but am wondering if the new Z06 is a wide-booty car?

Clearly, the back fenders are wider = wide booty

But,

I can't tell on the fronts? Is it by virtue of those black lips that extend from the front splitter on to the edges of the fenders that makes them "wider"??

I asked the same question, 'savewave' provided this link detailing dimensions between the C7s: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...-zo6-c7-r.html

~2.2" appears to be it.

Baby's got back and it's beautiful!

All of the experts on this forum that previously said the Stingray was as wide as GM could/would make the C7...

I posted this over on the C6 forum, if there is difference I am really struggling to see it. Maybe someone has a better picture comparison. I guess that's a good thing for C7 owners.

The rear fenders are wider, but the front fenders have an attached black wheel opening molding. I'm thinking that the wide body front fenders and bumper cover were not done in time for the show, because GM said the car was still being developed. Here are the specs with the new width:

The front fenders are definitely wider as well.

It is wider with 20X12's on the rear and shown optioned out as a Z07, so a little confusion on the reveal!

The front fenders on the reveal is what you would be getting , GM did a similar move on the new Z/28 using both front & rear fender flares to accommodate the wider tires/wheels

Don't know about that. If you count the edge moldings, then Yes, but the actual fender appears to be the same as the base car...

No, it doesn't. Look closer.

It's 2.x" wider in the front and 3.x" wider in the rear. I forget the exact number, but it's substantial. Can't wait to see one in person. I could never buy a non-wide body vette. I love my cars to look as aggressive as possible.
