Another reason why not to drive Corvette C7 Stingray in winter and another design flaw

In case the summer compound tires, hardening, losing traction and cracking in freezing temperatures were not enough to dissuade new Corvette owners from winter driving, there is another reason not to do it.  This time, there is an apparent design flaw and lack of brains on part of +Tadge Juechter and the rest of +General Motors  Corvette design team while extending the track width, choosing sticky compound tires and then designing the wheel well and rear bumper areas around them. 

There is no doubt that whoever designed the rear section of this car had to have shit for brains.  Maybe the area behind the rear wheels was designed by a consortium of body shop and clear guard installation shops owners to keep them in business?  Nevertheless, the area behind the rear wheels is short enough and angled in a way that it is exposed to constant blasting from road debris in a manner that puts most of the sand blasting equipment to shame.  And no, the General Motors splash guard will not cure this problem, their design is just as flawed as the car itself.  The OEM splash guards are too short and not wide enough to create a barrier to this sand blasting cabinet on four wheels, LOL.

BTW, this problem will persist beyond the winter months, there is plenty of gravel and sand and other debris on the roads to keep the body shops in business.  The problems may not be as severe during warmer weather but God forbid should there be any sand or gravel on the road.  This is actually worse than the problems the previous Z06 had behind the front wheels and along the sides, way worse actually. 

Now,  what is really interesting is to see what the upcoming Z06 can do, with the front fenders designed the way they are and even wider tires as a standard equipment.
