Why is there this Chevy fetish to build the Corvette with a Camaro rear end?

I thought at one time that the cammo guys were the most talented ever. I thought that underneath the cammo, there would be a beautiful Corvette. Turns out, the cammo did not hide a damned thing including that repulsive side scoop.
Any body kit is going to sell like crazy.

Have you seen the car in person, or just pictures? When you see it in person, you'll see it looks nothing like a Camaro.

The C8 needs a large Butt in order for air to flow through the engine compartment and out the back side--WITHOUT disturbing the flow over the car and under the car. The large Butt enables more air to flow though the engine bay.

Well, I do like it being big, just not so much the similarity with camaro, geez.
It did hide the tail lights.

if you don't like it OP, stick with your C6, simple.

Must see back in person!
I have had the good fortune of seeing the car twice at two different dealer reveals.
As I posted after Kerbeck and again after Schumacher, this car is special in person and makes pictures and videos look like an imposter. The car is very sleek and awesome from the front and side. While I am not a huge fan of the rear and really disliked the first images of the Z51 spoiler, exhaust pipes, in person, the “Camaro” referenced lights and “fat butt rear” melt away. The back in person actually looks pretty damn good. Standing back and looking at the deck into the roof line looks really awesome!
See the car live than judge would be advice! I am in!!!

This argument is so yesterday. It started with the C7 and here we are today with the C8 and it's deja vu all over again. I thought we got over that in 2014. I like the fact that the C8 is paying homage to the C7. It's nice that they are carrying over some similarities. If you are going to slim up the rear away from the "big butts" then the tail lights will also need to slim up. I rather detest "big butts" anyway. They look as disgusting as Wal-Mart shoppers in disability scooters dragging their fat asses down the aisles leaving the scent of body odor trailing behind them. The C7 and C8 are much more aesthetically pleasing than their older "big butt" counterparts. To say they "look like a Camaro" is, to me, a rather superficial and uninformed comparison. And frankly, nobody cares.
