If you had doubts that the Corvette was a good-looking, stylish sports car when it was redesigned, perhaps you need to be reminded of the old adage: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Read all about it in the above link, but the original may be your style.
This is stage 2 of Sergio's master race...err....plan. First, tell everyone GM should merge. Then, design everything to look GMish so as to make it seem it's just a natural fit to merge. :lmao:
Exactly BAM!!! I'd spend most of my time at the dealership. And please bring up the miniscule amount of C7 engine issues in relation to the number on the road
Proving again that GM has a Porsche BRAND competitor and it needs to move on it pronto. Screw the purists.. Porsche did. NO reason in the world why there shouldn't be a Corvette brand at this point. A TRUE "Excitement Brand."
I think it's more the case looks have been converging for decades - safety, aerodynamics, even things like spidery-spoke wheel designs.
I think Ferrari had this 'look' first - the Corvette maintains the traditional 'cab-on-top' 3-box look, the Ferrari more the 'integrale' GT-sports ****pit. Also, while Ferraris are associated with the blood red racers, that yellow has been a constant Ferrari colour for decades, too. I think the colour (possibly bodged a little in photoshop) and angle certainly contribute to an exaggerated 'sameness' that would not be apparent in the flesh if they were sitting side by side.
I think most people would be proud to own either or both these - the C7 design certainly kicked the Corvette can a long way down the road, as shown in sales.
That may be the case but at the end of the day I arrive at the finish line long before you do! All the status in the world doesn't make up for coming in 2nd!
So how many cups have ferrari won in nascar? See I can play the same game as you! How many indy car championships have ferrari won? See its easy if you want to be selective.
Now I know what your saying F1 is top dog and that may well be the case and if ferrari is so good at it then clearly stepping down to nascar would be easy for them!
We should all siiiiiiiiiigh because for the love of GOD I thought a thread without a certain poster from SF would at the very least... give us a break from having to talk about watches. Damn it!!!! I don't even look at my watch anymore for the time. That's what cell phones are for in 2015
That's surely a matter of opinion. Apart from the modern V6 F1 hybrids I've never heard a bad sounding Ferrari motor. Corvettes are usually pretty good, too. The smoggers are pretty dodgy, though.
I don't particularly like either but if I was buying one it would be the Corvette as hopefully its engine wouldn't need a rebuild in 60,000 K's like most Ferrari do.
What self respecting Ferrari owner ever does 60K km on their Ferrari? Most it would be a tenth of that, afterall the other cars in the garage need lovin' too....
I have no problem with having intelligent conversations so that crowd never bores me or intimidates me. I love asking these bozos why they would pay 2 or 3 times the price of a corvette if their crap box can't out run it!
That's why I say it's junk, same performance for 2 or 3 times the cost!
They simply are not buying them as just performance cars, they are buying them as exotics, amongst many other reasons having to do with marque history and culture etc....
Those Bozo's would likely equate your question of why pay more for something that can'y outrun a Corvette with a question such as; why pay more for a Bel Aire Mansion when it can't house as many people as a block of apartments in East LA?
Horses for courses...
