The Corvette was originally a touring car body, only slightly re-done to be used for WGT, so its really tall.

The Sophia was the first WGT specific body and the trim lines reflect the WGT rules for overall car height. If you trim the Sophia above the trim lines you will not be able to meet the 104mm car height. To get a Corvette down to that height requires trimming well above the trim line.

FYI, at the first WGT race during last year's IIC, the minimum car height was 95mm. Now that was some squished lookin Vettes right there
