IMHO wide booty on a Z without installing wider tires is like getting into a wide booty race with the base C6. Like many has said, not really my cup of tea, but if you like it, that's all it matters.

1 -- I'm running 1920X1200 resolution and even I found it annoying to look at this thread with pics that have not been reduced at all. either thumbnail as a link or reduce them.

2 -- I don't see how grip can be "better" at all, you havent added any rubber in the equation, wheels sitting further apart? I don't see how that's going to help grip/accel at all.

I commend you on the work, I love to see a vette flying around on a road, but at the same time I have to say it's just not my cup of tea.

1- some people here like to see full details of the pictures and save the image with full resolution if they want
and if you use Firefox the image will be reduced automatically

2- i really don't know how to explane it but i really feel the difference
i have a theory in my previous post again i might be wrong

many people have diffrant taste some times it goes all the way to this

Why mess with a great Dave Hill design.

Nice execution though...reminds me of a Porsche a little.
Sorry did not mean to use the P word.

The dual tail pipes looks like a copy of a Viper GTS.
