Default Old vs New & Pics

I work in a very small company, maybe 15-20 people. Driving through a fairly large city such as Montreal, I rarely see Corvettes on the road. But to my surprise, one of the employees parked his c6 in our lot. It was nice to see them parked side by side to compare the distinct and beautiful "derrieres" of our beloved cars. I wasn't very fond of his aesthetic modifications, but hey, to each his own!

The C5 has the best "butt" definitely. The C6 is ugly!

Just seems to busy and trying to make a statement??? Most times less is more and looking at the two cars it certainly seems apparent in this case. Looks like a huge butt wearing tight spandex.

I sure think the C5 is a better design. And you've got him beat in the taste department.

Cool pics!

I like the halo on yours - the more I see of this, the more I want to do it to mine.

The C6 looks cool if it's a track car, but for a street car (and not even a Z06?) I don't think I'd do all the Jake stuff. I do like the black back-end with the yellow though.

I think your car would look more complete with a black set of rims.
