Default C7 back end for a C6

Just like the original C6 widebody kits....

How long before we see a full back end look of the C7 created for a C6?

I thought Tadge Juechter said in one of the recently-posted videos that the C7 was the wide-body...?

Actually its not a good one. The wide body on the c6 is too wide to be a world car. None of the other super cars are like that now. They wanted the corvette to be more of a world car, to play in the ferrari ballpark for a fifth of the price. The new c7 is wide enough, and compares in looks to the f12 berlinetta. The wide vettes are starting to look yesterday to me.

I can only shake my head. The C7 rear would look like AZZ on the C6, wide or narrow body. Its barely passable on the C7, IMO.

My favorite Corvette is the 1962. I think I like the tail lights the best.
