Of course it's not going to look as exotic as a Ford GT or a Ferrari. Would you pay $60k-$120k to upgrade your Corvette interior to that of a GT or an F430 if you still had a Corvette afterwards? $60k is about the price differential between a C6 and a GT. The Corvette is built to a price, and the money goes into the stuff that matters - the chassis and drivetrain.
well I was referring more to the more important exterior styling than the interior.
but...
I don't think the C6 or Z06 even looks like a $60K car let alone $120K.
To me both look like a $40K car, Tops. Its looks aren't bad but sooo bland.
The wheels look like they came out of the wheels section of the Sears Auto Store.
There is nothing on the car that would make it memorable. 100% Vanilla.

Do you know how many people have stopped me and thought my car looked like a $70K car? They couldn't believe me when I told them that you could find a very similar one for under $30K.

The styling on the C6 and ZO6 are really no different, you would have to look closely to tell them apart.
