What is different about this beast?. Took me a while to figure it out. I knew something had been done.

No She's a C6 but something has been added. It fix's a look that people have commented on and I personally hated on the C6s.

1. I can't see the factory high mount brake light.
2. Also, doesn't the stock C6 have some type of faux rear mud flap? I can't see it on that car.
3. Lastly, looks like a CB antenna on the rear dack.

From the author of the thread where I found this.

"Ok finally pics of my new spoiler........it's small and subtle just the way I wanted it....but do you think it helps that "hey look my ass is cut off about 7 inches short" look that the C6 cries out?"

Not not shortening, made longer with the little wing.

To add just a little info. to this thread: The C5 and C6 Corvettes have "dusty rear-ends." The shape of the rear-end causes the airflow over the car to "burble" as it exits the cars shape, and lifts dust and dirt from street level up onto the back of the car. This is very similar to what happens to airflow over an aircraft's wings. Lately, people have found that if they change the little wing on the edge of the hatch of their C5 or C6 with the taller "Gurney-Lip" spoiler from the hatch of a C6 Z06, the airflow goes further behind the car before "breaking away" and burbling, and therefore doesn't suck up all that dust as before. This taller lip also decreases rear-end lift and is an exact bolt-on fit with the lip that is being removed. This may have been the case with the Corvette in this thread...:v

I bought an "electric" leaf-blower originally to blow excess water off my car after washing, and to make drying the car quicker....now I also use it to blow the dust off my C6's rear-end after a run. Work's great, plus I have a C6 Z06 lip spoiler on order, which should help...:22
