4th Gen T/A bubbly rear end - All cars lean to one side? - floaty front end
Why couldn’t they have made the 4th Gen as good looking from the back as they did from the front? It’s kind of embarrasing the look especially when you consider the 3rd gen ‘normal’ looks…. anybody think that?
Also I never noticed until someone pointed it out, but they all lean to one side, think it is lower on the right side… why is that and has anybody found a way to correct that?
I got new shocks and springs recently put on in the front AND for some reason it is floaty and hoppy as ever, so I guess I need to find better parts? anybody run into this?
I don't really see anything wrong or "embarrassing" about the rear end styling of 4th gen F-bodies. Camaro, Firebird, T/A - all look good to me.
On the other hand, I think the C5s could've had better rear end styling, they sort of look like a caricature of a C4. They have grown on me a lot over the years, to a point where I would own one if the right one came along, but I still feel that the rear end on those could have been done better.
To each his own but I like the rear end of my T/A. I haven't noticed any leaning over the 2 decades I have owned mine unless the garage floor is off a bit.. Embarrassing?? Why??
The TA looks great from the front or rear. The right side is slightly lower to compensate for driver weight. Have your girlfriend sit in the rear driver side seat and problem solved.

The C5 looks the best front and rear of any Vette to me. At least they didn’t carry over the hideous square taillights. I feel kind of the way you do about the C6, cause it was nearly identical but somehow not as good looking…

C6 was a massive step above the C5 in terms of styling. C6 rear was the area of greatest improvement; they really cleaned up the styling from C5.
C6 with the back bubble glass ruined it. C5Z06 is where it's at.
You all want to talk about a car that leans, get into a Gbody. Sold Aluminum Body Bushings in this car and it still is lower on the drivers side. Frame is straight too from the ground I took enough measurements. I have shims on the rear drivers Spring Perch, that's helped with it. Pics before and afer the Body Bushings installed.
