You know what they say about copying, it's the best form of flattery.... BUT I hate it! I always had that problem in school in art class, it sucked to be copied all the time.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Kind of reminds me of those Viper headlights in the C6.

Just the nature of the car business. The original Viper clearly borrowed heavily from the C4, clamshell hood, D44 independent rear axle etc.

Maybe it's because hash marks have existed in racing for a long long time. GM didn't invent them... just a thought.

How the **** do you copy somebody in an art class? Did somebody make an eerily similar hand turkey or something?

Can't argue with that logic, the art class arguement is no longer arbitrary, defunct as the "Twinky" defense!!!!!

They copied my IDEAS, not my drawings exactly. Kinda like when some ahole steals someones patent by changing something minor on a product because they can't or are too lazy to come up with their own ideas. BTW I had more of an imagination than to draw hand turkeys.

Like the C5 looks like a RX7, the C6 looks like a celica and the C7 looks like a pokemon.
