Sorry about having 3 posts back to back. It looks a little odd and comes on a little strong. I'm under "moderation" right now haha, I've been bad. I actually posted those at different times but I guess they got accepted at the same time.

Oh, it's obnoxiously ignorant to state your opinion around here now? Thanks for clearing that one up.

Couldn't agree with you more. I love 'Vettes as much as anyone here, but anyone who thinks the C6(or any Corvette for that matter) is better looking than a 360 does have "tunnel vision" or as you said unique/bad taste. Ferrari has always been tops in design and Pininfarina is like the Michelangelo of the automotive world. Corvettes are still better looking than 99.8"% of the cars on the road, but they just can't compete with the exotic looks of a Ferrari. Go ahead and flame me if you want, but deep down I know most of you probably agree.

In case you didn't read the first page, post after post was oh that Ferrari is hideous, the license plate is or those headlights are tacky. Yes, some people are obnoxiously ignorant in that they think their car is just better than anything else out there. Maybe you haven't seen the license plate mount on the C6 but the Ferrari plate location is lightyears above what the Generals done. There's no need to defend the Corvette in a comparison against a 200 or 300 hundred thousand dollar automobile. If the Corvette can even compete with such a car, which I believe it can, it's awesome that it can cross the money gap like that. That in itself demands its own praise; however, there's no need to knock on Ferrari's design just because you're proud of your Vette. There two different cars in two different classes and both are equally beautiful.

I agree with you partially.....More exotic doesn't necessarily mean more beautiful.......

The Enzo and Murcielago i think are the most exotic cars in the road BUT i don't think they are the most beatiful........

I don't know if you guys have seen the Pagani Zonda, is very exotic but i find it very ugly also.......

Dude, go back and read my posts! I was the one saying how awesome the new Ferrari F430 looks, not one of the people knocking its design.

It's clearly no contest. The only reason we don't all own Modenas instead of C5s or C6s is because most of us can't afford it.

The Modena is so much better looking than the C6, I almost wonder if you could prove it mathematically

I was reading something about automotive styling, or maybe I watched it. It was a few years ago, but I remember one thing that stuck out to me was that one of the factors of styling is "inexplicable beauty" or something to that effect. It's what Corvettes and Ferraris have that Civics and Integras don't. Yes, it's the curves and radicalness, but what EXACTLY makes it so much more beautiful than a Civic? It's the WAY the curves and radicalness are done. Inexplicable, but definite.
