I'm assuming that's a photo of the wives of wide body owners, correct?

Lots of May/September marriages in that club, me thinks.

Nope... This is the actual size no matter which Corvette you own.

narrow vs wide
 
We just sold our 08 Velocity Yellow vert base car. We loved this car. Someone just wanted it so it went to a proud new owner.
We found a 13 Grand Sport and like it very much. I have to say having both that each has certain advantages over the other.
I for one would never look down on a base car as they call it even though its any thing but base.

:iagree:

My wife, whos idea it was to buy the car, prefers the narrow body, and I have to agree, as it is wide enough for us.

Assholeism is not created by a car type, it is a natural effect. :yesnod: Hope this clears things up.

Due to aerodynamics, isn’t the narrow body slightly quicker?

.....and I thought I was the only one.

Less mass to rotate around the wheel hubs with narrower, lighter tires and wheels on the narrow bodies. Are the brake rotors smaller also? That'll be a factor as well.

Wide body wouldn't fit in my garage.

I like the base cars because they remind me of the C2's and C3's. Never lost my love for them.....:thumbs:

:iagree:

When I look out of the windshield at the tops of the 2 fenders, I almost feel like I'm still driving my C2!

[Personal preference].

I never cared for any Corvette other than the the C2, until the C6 was released. And I never wanted to own one until the wide-body Z06/GS models came out. I think the Base narrow body cars look plain looking, to me. I bought a GS. I definitely don't like the C7 Stingray either. The wide body C7 looks better, but would never buy one because I think the C6 has the real Corvette look.
