C7 Widebody Version?
I'm wondering if the high-performance version of the C7, whether that be a GS, Z0X, ZR1, etc, will have a slightly different body style than the base coupe. I'd certainly like to see a wider tire underneath the version that is supposedly going to be in the mid 600hp range...
I've read some postings that the high-performance version already exists and is undergoing testing now, but has anyone seen it?
The answer to this will likely influence whether or not I will buy a 2014 car or not...

Yep, it could already be a wide body. But it may be a few years down the road before a "flared wheel area" model comes out.

This car is already wider than the 6, so more than likely will see bigger tires tucked in under the fenders, flares add a lot of drag to the tune of about 10mph at top speed, so there is a good possibility that fenders will remain the same or maybe wider without the flares, like in the C6Rs that won LeMans.

They could still keep the Stingray model and do a flared GrandSport model. As popular as the GS has been it seems like a natural that it would pop up down the road.
