Default Z06 Max Width

The max width spec for the Z06 w/out mirrors is 77.4"

The max width spec for the base model w/out mirrors is 73.9"

Where is the difference ---- is it the flared rear fenders?

Thank you !

The whole rear fascia is wider, I believe, it's not merely in the fender flares. I measured vs a Z51 parked back to back, and using my highly calibrated hand, it seemed like more than 3 inches (insert obvious jokes here).

If someone knows, I'd be very curious also if there's differences in the frontal width, etc. The car sure -looks- wider and I'm also not sure where that difference is.

not sure of exact number but I believe it to be around 2 1/2-2 3/4" wider in the front.

By my measurement I think it's at least 8 inches wider.
