Default Corvette Stance

Is it me or my imagination when I look at a Z06 compare to my Grand Sport.
The Z06 stance looks different for some reason.

Does anybody know the differences.

By the way I do wear glasses.

Visual things can distort prospective. Different style wheels and tires. Different front fenders. Different front splitter. Different style rear spoiler. Even different colors on brake calipers can change appearances.

They're not all exactly the same size. Don't know if that would affect the stance or not.

The C6 Z06 and the C6 Grand Sport are both 1" longer and 3" wider than the C6 coupe.

There can be differences even with two unmodified Z's or GS's etc. due to factory tolerances. See post #5 here: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-question.html

Also, many have been lowered for looks or performance. There's more detailed info out there, just search stock ride height.
