Default Question about the backside

So I was watching vette videos again waiting for my 2013 to come in and found this one . 2 Guys gunning it at a red light and guess what happens.., take a look at the video




I noticed the backs of the vettes, one has the corvette logo and the other has the word corvette... Is this a difference between year models or difference by a say Z06 and coupe !? Anyone shed some light on this??

Can't see the vid (blocked at work) but I'm assuming it's the 2 silver cars that end up crashing. If so, the one with the word Corvette is a C5 model (1997-2004) and the one with the logo would be a C6 (2005-current).

The one on the left is a C6 and the one on the right is a C5.

I also remember The Wait after I ordered my 09. Nothing helped... it felt like forever.

BTW, congrats on your new C6!

Aye it is taking forever. I still have a little more than a month to go as the dealer says my build date Is Oct 15...

What do you think caused that loss of control?
