Why do some wide body owners look down on the narrow body?

Look at it this way...
Some guys like over weight women, but most like the slender types.
Some guys like a 34 B, but most would prefer a 38 DD.
Some guys like romantic comedies, but most prefer action movies.
Some guys like tofu, but most would prefer a cheeseburger.
It's the same with Corvettes.
Some like the narrow body base car, while most discerning, discriminating car enthusiasts, prefer the kick a$$ lookin' wide body.
See, it's simple.

I own a 11GS and I like ALL Corvettes regardless of year, wide body or whatever.
If a wide body owner looks down at a narrow body car, then they are not real Corvette people, just folks going thru a fad and wanting to own a Corvette for a year or so.
My advise, ignore them, they will soon go away.

it really depends on the person.
z folks look down on gs folks because their cars are fake.
gs owners look down on thin body cars because theirs are wider.
c6 owners look down on c5 owners because theirs are newer
and recently, it happened to me the other day, c7 owners look down on c6 owners.
it is THE EXCEPTION, but you can't even count on a wave from a fellow corvette drivers anymore
most of us just love driving our cars and share the joy with anyone else, regardless of their cars, even those SILLY EURO TRASH cars
don't sweat it.

Oompha! That's a sweet lookin' ride ya got there.
The problem with all these issues...ZR-1, ZO-6, GS, Base, Vert, Coupe, Run Flats, Non-Run Flats, M6 vs. A6, Best Color, Black Wheels, Chrome Wheels, C6, C7, C2, C5, etc. etc. ad infinitum, ad nauseum, is manifested only on forums.
In the real world, each of us buys the car we like, the TV we prefer, the lawn mower that suits our needs, and who the hell cares what anyone else thinks???
BUT, as soon as we get on a forum site, it becomes, "my choice is better than your choice". The whole thing is really stupid.

Most important thing to remember is the current GS model most likely saved the Corvette from going out of production.

Actually OP the ride of an F55 GS is better than you think. I had an 08 before and loved it but there wasn't a difference in ride. The main advantage is that your crappy OEM Goodyear tires last longer than the crappy OEM Goodyear tires on the GS.
