I know a C6, but for an ME, probably worse.

I think there as been a lot of width added to the doors of the C8 in this discussion. Given the various mid-engine vehicles out there today, it is really easy to see that air management of some sort will begin in the door and lead into the rear quarter. I don't see any reason why the C8 ME would be any wider than any current Corvette due to this style of air routing. The rear suspension and tires will be more responsible for the width of the C8 ME that the cooling air.
The air coming down the side of the car and into the inlet in the quarter panel area is most likely for cooling. The intake air is probably going to come from near the rear facia, top area of the rear bonnet.

Interesting comparison of a C7 head to toe with FVS’s awsume ME. My big assumption is using the same wheel base and overall height for both to line them up.

Time to stop modding the C7 and put that money in a C8 fund... that is amazing looking.

C7 never did, and still doesn't, appeal to me, so beat you both. Never bought one. C7 fund carried on to C8 fund. Can't buy first year car, though. Just don't trust most manufacturers to get it right.

I had 4 C5s, never loved the C6, C6 GS caught my attention (removable roof and JSB paint!), but by then the C7 was coming out. Love the C7 design, my gripes are with some of the production methods and body/paint quality vs. the C5/6, but performance and amenities wise the car is very nice.
