    Default JDM Corvette Styling?

    Interesting. I find it funny how they have single exhaust pipes.... Must be the K20 swap. The side markers on the front fenders are cute too.

    Personally, I don't think the term "JDM" and the word "Corvette" belong in the same sentence.

    ^^ well, what i think hes showing is how these vettes have similarities to popular japanese car styling, sidemarkers, single exit and of course, TE's

    Wouldn't a JDM Vette just be one for the Japanese market? And besides, isn't the Vette sold as its own brand in Japan?

    Anyways....Westcorvette has made some great C4s over the years.

    I don't see any JDMness.

    Almost seems every Corvette has the side markers there maybe for regulations. Wait..I think that IS true..why would EVERY Vette in these pics have the exact same marker in the exact same location? How is a side marker even JDM..??? lol.

    Wings on track cars, so stupid....

    I used to believe TE's would look good on anything and everything. I changed my mind. The Vette is a badass car and needs badass wheels.
    Not that the TE's aren't a badass wheel in their own right. Just not badass enough for a Vette.

    U.S.A. is one of the few countries where side markers haven't been made mandatory.

    Single exit exhaust means JDM?

    Or.... It means it works just fine and you don't need 4 pipes in the back to show all your performance.

    Looks like corvette's modded for track... not JDM.

    Why not have the added weight of a big can and 4 pipes coming out the back?!

    It must be single exhaust because no one can ever line up the horrid four tips. I've never once seen a corvette (c5 or c6) with aligned exhausts.

    track car = left right turns.
    drag car = straight line.

    He runs in a Corvette series..

    There you go! They have a few small sponsors, like free tires from Michelin tires, Hurst, and Mobile 1.

    No they are not but he also said it wouldn't help him as much as the lip spoiler that they use now. Pretty much it would be overkill.

    A corvette can get up QUICK in speed and a proper wing would DEFINITELY help. No if and or buts about it.

    A Gurney flap is not always a substitute for a wing and has different purposes, some use both and many wings on road race cars feature a Gurney flap on it...

    That is what I said indirectly, yes a proper wing would help out the car. A wing that is overkill, would not help as much.

    x2, I think everyone nowadays associates JDM as a style and forget that it means Japanese Domestic Market, meaning these are the vette's available in Japanland. They look pretty damn good IMO, Domestic Owner's should aim for the JDM "look" now lol, was that an oxymoron?
