It looks better because all the black grills and bumpers blend away and all you see are the surface details -- which are pretty dramatic and aggressive.

It's definitely a GT5 shot, but the wheels and the ride height were photoshopped after the fact. Whoever did it did a good job, it's very convincing.

I like my cars slammed so this just solidified the fact i will be owning one of these cars in a few years. I knew they would look good lowered from the start. I can just picture a slammed black C7 on some brushed aluminum concave wheels. Ive seen slammed c6s that dont even come close to this car.

And to those who say that car isnt drivable, I daily drove a Mustang that was so low, I could barely fit my shoe under the side skirt and it was 100% fine. Corvettes have alot better ground clearance so it shouldnt be a issue.

Doesn't lowering the car mess up the ride quality though? Just wondering

Coilovers can lower a car with a shorter shock body instead of a simpler method of lowering with a shorter spring
