I like the look of any C6, coupe. But I didn't seriously consider buying one until the GS came out.

The wide body is so wide I couldn't get it through the garage door, so I stayed with my much narrower 06.

Face it, most of the public couldn't tell a C6 from a Z06 from a ZR1 if you did park them side-by-side. Hopefully no 'widebody' C6 owners look down on a narrow body C6. If they do that's their problem. Be self-assured....both the C6 and wider body versions of the C6 are beautiful cars!

Human nature.
Just like:
Coupe v. Vert
LS3 v. LS2
Manual v. Auto
Black v. All other colors
Tinted windows v. Untinted windows
Black wheels v. Chrome Wheels
ZR1 v. Z06
And on and on....
If yours isn't just like mine then it must be inferior.

I would let you in on why, but I don't have to explain myself to you narrow bodies.

Same thing with women....some men like big boobies, some like little boobies, some like big back ends, some like little back ends. Just human nature.

I personally like all Corvettes. Came from a 2005 (narrow body of course), to a Z06. I would buy my 2005 back if I could find it.

I "look down" at the narrow body and I have one...I wish I had a widebody, but wouldn't pay to have it done as i'd rather have power mods first

I`ve never really noticed any wide body owners "looking down" on narrow body owners. Hell I always thought they needed those few extra inches on their car to make up for what mother nature didn't. J/K.

For me (in a narrow body), those 3 inches are all that separate me from other cars, i mean idiot drivers, on the road or in the parking lot.

Yeah, I'm around Washington DC area. Those 3 inches have saved me more than cash at the tire store.

Don't get me wrong, like the look of the wide body, but the narrow is still a fine looking car.

YMMV
