Frankly, the 'nicer' rear end is already there on the C7. Deal with it. The idea that they designed the C7 rear end to save money is a desperate reach.
Calm down there BlueOx or Tadge or whoever you are. My thought is that they have to really shake some things up with the Z06 besides just the HP. They have to differentiate the Z06 enough so that you see it coming. Park a base model C6 next to a C6 Z06 and you will immediately note the difference. I would expect the same with the C7 Z06. I think the exterior changes will have to be more than subtle to command the extra money.

BTW I don't know what you mean when you say "the idea they designed the C7 rear end to save money is a desperate reach". I never suggested that.
