Default C6 Rear v C7 Rear

OK, I know better then to post this on the C7 board, because I would be labeled as a hater, or someone that cannot afford a C7 and looking for redemption or some of label.

With all the talk of the rear end on the C7 not being up to standard I went and looked at my C6 from about the same angle as a couple of the C7 pictures. Now don't get me wrong I think the C7 is going to be a great car once it hit the road (and the bugs are fixed), but the rear end on my C6 looks pretty sexy in my opinion.

From this angle it looks like one could land a small aircraft on either side of the Vette.I don't hate any Vette,but they went back to C5 huge booty it would seem,and I was never a fan of huge booty!

I own two C6's, one of them the baddest Corvette ever built.
The C7 kicks both their butts (pun intended) in looks.

The exhaust tips look super tiny on the C6, I like the much larger look of the tips on the C7 and how they fill in the overall space.

I like both for what they are. One is nice, new and fresh while the other looks great for a 9 year production run.

I think the C7 rear is too busy. I'll keep my C6 for sure.

I'm keeping my C6 for a long time, but I love the C7 and hope to have one some day.

I think that Cormaro is a nice looking car. When are they going to come out with the new Corvette though?

All kidding aside, I'd bet that the after market is already working on round tail lights to replace the fugly ones they put on there. Better yet, a whole new rear clip.

I prefer the rear end on the C6. To me it looks smooth, clean, and classy.

Your on. Within 5 months, you'll see it. Round LEDS inside the square lights, similar to many renderings.

You can do that to yours, too. Mine have 4" tips.

Swap C7 tail lights for headlights and the rear looks like a front. Way too busy.

I'm not commenting on the C7 anymore, at least pertaining to the ugly end.

Yes the C6 has a beautiful rear.

I'm thinking color matching ZR1 spoiler for future mod to the GS?

mcandrew67, What rear spoiler do you have on your car? Where can I purchase the exact same manufacturer of it? I love the way it looks on your car.
