Default Back end lift?

Hey guys. I am still on the look for a corvette. I am for sure buying one. And i want to know if its possible to make the back end sit higher like you see on old muscle cars. I mean, i probably wont do it. But its a thought. Any advice?

C4's are designed to sit with about 1-1.5 degrees of rake (nose down). Any more or less and you risk having a corvette that handles like a shopping trolly.

Doing that will have a huge negative impact on handling. You will also change the angle of the half shafts in relation to the diff and the spindles. You will need a 4-wheel alignment and it may be hard finding specs that are specifically for raising the rear of the car.
