That is not difficult.

I am not sold on the side strakes, still. But I like the new wheels.

I don't have any interest in vettes, but if I did a c7 manual would be what I'd go with.

Front end: instead of leading with the bumper and then tapering back below the bumper? The Z06 leading edge is the lower air dam, more akin to how the GT3s or ZL1s have it.

Side: the air intakes are very different on the Z51 versus the Z06.

Yes, and one that doesn't sound like garbage (i.e. Mustang GT350). Hopefully it doesn't shake itself to bits (GT350). Or chew through a set of rod bearings and lock itself up solid in < 5,000 miles (take a guess).
