Even if the car doesn't have a spare tire, we can still understand the area you are talking about. I have a C5 Z06 and that's where I put mine. I had to reverse the mounts, as they were designed to be mounted on a flat surface, so by putting the shorter mount up front and the taller mount in the back, I ended up with a decent bottle angle. My car didn't come with the well cover panels (all C5 Z06's had them deleted - weight savings?!) but I use a partition to prevent prying eyes from seeing my bottle through the windows. Is it completely hidden? No, but it is hidden from plain sight so that is good enough for me for now. The only way you can see it is if I open the rear hatch. Of course, a C6 has the bigger glass in the rear, so you will have to get a bit more creative.
I have seen photos on the net where people have turned the bottle sideways and been able to hide it under the well cover panel in the "spare tire well." That was on a C5, but I imagine that it is possible on a C6. Google it?

I agree check inside the rear fascia or behind one of the front fenders. They all come off easily and there is plenty of room. Especially if you have a wide body kit.
