The flip-up or fixed headlight debate is not what this is about. They were fixed from 1953-62. Round or square tail lights? No, the square tail lights first appeared on the ‘91 ZL1.
It’s about the look of the Corvette that was always purely American and not trying to imitate Ferrari. Or anyone else. The long nose/short deck, when you look out over the cowl and see the hood a mile in front of you. It always looked “right”.
THAT has always been a Corvette.

I'll agree with the side you're taking.
C6 is peak Corvette, but it's not optimized for weight distribution. Imagine how much more appealing, if any ZR1 had an Al big-block! 582?
Modern Vettes have always aimed to be more acceptable for rich guys to show off. Collectible Pontiacs auction for big bucks. In that regard they should re-badge C8 as a Pontiac and sell them as a sub-brand under Caddy dealers.
