    I see more Z series BMW in the rear profile, if anything. Other than that I think it looks pretty Ferrari'esque

    Looks like a Corvette in the same way one of those red and chrome Colnagos looks like a Specialized Tarmac, in that it has the same number of wheels and they're roughly in the same place.

    So much negativity. We should all be touchy feely happy here.

    End of my sarcastic drawl. It looks like a Ferrari. Corvettes look like bastardized Ferrari's.

    Looks like an Aston. Or, as they say on Top Gear, a footballer's car.

    I'll go one step further and say that Vette's look (and handle) like plastic Ferraris.

    Hee hee! I've never driven one, but that's funny nonetheless.

    No matter what they look like in photos, Ferraris never look (or sound) like anything else in person. How a car can be that low to the ground and not constantly send up a rooster tail of sparks, I know not.

    The metal work on a '69 365 GT leaves nothing to be desired. The current generation of Corvette has performance in spades, but Chevrolet (or any domestic manufacturer) will never have a finished product like a Ferrari. Back in the '60s the undersides of the cars were thought about. Unheard of in America. The Ferrari is not just one of many pushed out the door to make a profit. Each one is taken care of until it is finished and ready for the world. Wish I could live in Italy...

    Actually it looks like an LFA. What a great time to be a car guy...

    Its not as beautiful as the older cars, but unmistakably a Ferrari GT car. Lots of 458 Italia in the surface flares.

    Corvette not so much, other than the basic silhouette, which has been shared going back 40 years.

    I remember reading an interview with one of my favorite race car drivers ever: Richard Burns. He was asked what car he drove for fun. His reply was something like:
    "I read about a new Corvette that could go 180mph. So I went and test drove it, at 180mph... I bought a 911."

    I think it looks like a Hyundai Tiburon.

    But I'd still drive it. Can you get a Perrari from China through open molds?

    I can't wait for the boys at Top Gear to go for a drive in it.

    Yes it is. They just make a lot more profit from each one.
