Sorry, wrong thread. I meant to post this in the thread with that tacky Jake spoiler piece and the license plate surround thing.

I like the Z06 badge!

Producing the same power output as the LT6 in a much lighter vehicle That doesn't negate the fact that the C8 has the ugliest rear end of any Corvette ever produced.

Fwiw, I'm not a huge fan of the Callaway hood bulge either as I prefer the stock B92 carbon fiber hood, but it is what it is.

One can discuss things, learn about things, and have opinions about things without liking every aspect of said thing. Crazy concept for some, I realize. I've owned 40+ vehicles over the last 30 years, some of them I liked more than others, so what. Some of them other people didn't care for (look at the irrelevant stab at my current Z06 above). Who cares. People are entitled to their opinions, and their opinions don't affect my vehicle purchases. I don't get bent out of shape if someone has a different opinion than I do. It's a car. It's a discussion forum.

The prevailing opinion about the C8 rear end is that it is not even remotely one of the best in Corvette history. Doesn't mean other aspects of the car aren't great.

lol, there is nothing wrong with C8 rear end. 100,000+ sales, says otherwise. It is easy to bash a car you don't own, or have no intentions of owning.
If your statement was actually true, wouldn't you get a few likes?
