One of the great cars of the world

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8PEjYLqJDE this video of the berlinetta is terrific and I cant get over how much the vette looks so much like it. I cant wait for the top model of vette going after this car. Whether they call it an L88 or the zr1, I think with all the improvements it might give this ferrari a run for its money. Speaking of money, it will be one third the cost of it.

Estimated base price for the F12, $310,000.00. For that money you could buy 5 C7's a full detail kit for each one, a years worth of gas, and still pay for your kids first semester at a major university. But 730 HP is pretty impressive.
I'll still take the Corvette, because at a $255,000 price difference, the Corvette is close enough for me. I'm cheap like that.

I hope you're not critical of the "camaro rear" people.

I like the 458 better though. Anyways, some might think the Corvette looks better and some might say the Ferrari. But I tell you one thing the C7 looks right in place with that Ferrari. Take all the Corvette badges off and replace with Ferrari badges and how much would you say it would cost?

It is amazing how eerily similar the look of the 2 cars are. In fact, with the rear end treatment, the C7 looks even more modern.
Nothing beats a Ferrari, except maybe Aston Martin, for pure sex appeal, but the C7 designers have done a fantastic job to step up and compete in the looks department for a fraction of the cost.
To reiterate, remove the horses and crossed flags, slap a couple of hundred K price tag on both cars, do a blind test, and many would find difficulty in discerning between the two.

People who can buy Ferraris don't buy them b/c they are the fastest and really don't care about the cost! They buy them for the same reason they live in 2 million dollar homes, b/c they can! It's also a matter of exclusivity, they want what very few others have!!!
