Default Thought I just say a beautiful red fararri but it was beatiful red C7

I went to lunch with some friends on the island here in corpus and in the parking was a smoking hot red ferrari with tear drop looking tail lights. So we checked it out and it was nice but the c7 interior really looks just as good I thought anyway.

So fast forward 30 minutes later I am talking to my wife on the phone and see this hot looking red car I thought it the same fararri I saw earlier but as I looked again it was a torch red c7 with black wheel and yellow calipers. Wow I said. to myself that car is freak'n hot. I turned down my wife and rolled down the winder and "beautiful man is it a z51 and he said no he was just going to tour in the car. I said man, I thought it was ferarri at first and we both smiled.

I stayed in the right lane just so I could get another glimpse of it and sure enough he nailed it passed me. Man, those pipe and that car were freak'n awesome. Please mr shipper deliver my car I'm jones like Casey Jones.

You may have hit on something here!

Instead of Z51 badges... put a Ferrari one on!

I had the opposite happen the other day. I thought I had finally seen my very first C7 on the roads in my area, but instead as it got closer it turned out to be a Ferrari!

We got our first snowfall today (and therefore salting of the roads) so I probably won't see a C7 on the road here until April now

I've had my VY Stingray for a couple months now and people are still checking it out wherever I go. The word I keep hearing repeatedly is "Ferrari". Eventually I noticed those comments usually come when viewing the car fom the rear. I now see that the base Stingray with no spoiler does have rear window and deck shapes reminiscent of recent generations of F cars.

The front definitely has some Ferrari F-12 DNA. The first time I filled my gas tank in the 458, a guy poked his head thru the pump area and asked whether it was the new Mustang. I didn't cop an attitude but had a nice conversation with him. When I was a teenager and knew cars, I did not know all the new models. Too many people flame others instead of promoting our sports car passion.

I believe Showroom floors do, but definitely not pictures. I loved this car in pictures, saw one in a showroom, (the only one Ive seen in person) and was floored. It was so gorgeous and amazing. Nothing like its pictures. I live in Northern Canada so no one really got any C7's with any time to drive it. Straight into storage they went.

When I first saw a picture of the new C7 in January, I immediately thought that from the side, it looked just like the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
