Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

You have to dig the 6.3L V12 - very cool.

It definitely takes some styling cues from the C7. Hit the "Start the engine" button. It sounds glorious!

It will just be another example of the great value we have in the C7 or the Z06!

Damn, that's gorgeous.

With some real beans under the hood, too. Nicely done, Ferrari.

From the tires spec list:

"Rear (winter, can be used with chain) 305/35 ZR"

Chains? On a Ferrari? Haha!

And the C7 headlights look like the ones on the Ferrari 458. So if Ferrari copied Chevy, they copied themselves, and Chevy copied them, too.

The only part of it that really looks like a Corvette to me are the headlights, and they actually look more like the headlights on the 458, than the C7. And both the F12 and 458 came before the C7, so who's copying who?

I think the C7 will lose that battle...
Obviously I was suggesting that a base C7 would have any chance. But certainly a Z06 should provide an interesting challenge. And HP isn't everything when it comes to performance on the track. Just look at the Viper.

They look so similar that somebody HAD to have copied somebody.

I think someone should come up with a C7 body kit for it. Group Buy? Anyone?

The 2 cars look SO similar this could not be a coincidence. Gorgeous for sure is the F12.
