    Yep, they're both yellow and share a double spoked, 5 arm wheel design. Other than that no. I think you'd better saddle up your horse and ride out of town now....

    It just shows how many generations ahead Ferrari is compared to the Corvette in regards to styling. I think the last decent body style was the C4. I had a '94.

    Don't really see similarities
    Want to see something similar?
    Have a look how closely Chevy copied the 360 Modena's headlight.
    They're almost exact copies.

    Chevy used the Modena's headlight and then copied the Viper's hood:

    It's no real secret that in recent years the Corvette designers have stolen Ferrari visual cues and modified them. (headlights, rear taillights, etc)

    This is not just a recent phenomenon. If you look at the a 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO, and then look at a 1968 Corvette coupe, especially from the rear, you'll see where Chevy got the idea.

    In fact, back in the 1980's Chevrolet produced a car called a Camaro Berlinetta!

    Yup, let's start up that old Z06 / 7'43" N'Ring lap time thread again. Things were getting boring around here anyway if you discount World War III having broken out between 98x and 98x S drivers.

    Re: I'm gonna catch hell for this

    I've owned lots of sweet toys and at the moment I am waiting for both a 430 and a Z06. While I do not doubt the refinements that are in the 430, it is very difficult to argue with what GM has done with the Z06. The numbers do not lie. Either in a straight line or on a track, the Z06 is a major achievement and for the money, a steal.

    Has GM reached Ferrari's level of style. No way, not even close.

    For some folks, it is difficult to understand why someone would buy a Rolex over a Timex. The same argument applies to cars. But at the same time, I attempt to respect what others purchase.
