Default Is the C6 Corvette Getting Better-Looking With Age?



Jalopnik reminds us of why the C6 Z06 has such a huge fan base.

I think it is. The more C7's that I see the more I like the lower wider C6.

I think the C6Z and GS will go down in history as one of the classic vettes when it comes to styling. It truly has a timeless shape and a very aggressive stance as a result. I was behind a friend of mind, and he told me that my C6Z looks "mean" in the rear view mirror.

I find myself staring at it for a few seconds after I get out of the car each time I drive it. It is a beautiful car.

Iconic 427 power plant, round tail lights, analog dash layout ala mid-years, 7,000 rpm and wide stance; what's not to like!

Never been a huge fan of the C6, but to each their own.

A mistake on the picture
The Z Centennial has Z07 Package with CUP tires .... so it must installed the Full Witdh Spoiler.

... but yes, C6 Z06 looks every past day better.

I had a chuckle at the article in the OP. They guy that wrote the article said the car was too big for him at 5' 9".

If that's the case, then it should be WAY to big for me at 5' 7".

I owned a C3 many moons ago, whose shape I still love, and currently own a mint '96 LT4. C5's are nice, but when that '05 came out I remember being floored. The C7 has grown on me since first appearing, and it too I think is quite "nice", but personally I feel the C6's are some of the most gorgeous cars since the C3's. JMHO
