Default C6 / Viper comparison

I see these comments about how the C6 is "just like the Viper". Viper this Viper that.

It has exposed headlights in almost the same location. So where else would you put them?

It has a power buldge running down the hood. So do a lot of cars.

It has a wide grille opening. Yeah, again, lots of cars do.

It has cool fender bulges. So does the C3 and they had them long before there was a Viper and THAT is why the C6 has them.

I can't see anyone mistaking a C6 and a Viper on the street.

Maybe its just me.

The main resemblance is in the front fender humps.


But I'd like to point out that the C3 had them loooooong before the Viper did.
