Default It's a Ferr-Vette or Corv-erarri

Not only does it look like it, it IS it. Almost!

Take a look...





Maybe that's why it doesn't have round tail lights

Humor is best left to the professionals. In the wrong hands it can be very, very ugly. (crickets chirping)

Difference being the Ferrari is smooth and classy like Marvin Gaye or Billy Dee Williams. The Vette is tacky, loud and vulgar like an 80s hair band.

To each their own.

In looking at this side profile, I think I actually like the C7 better.

Rock on!

Speaking of the engine sound, I have listened to the F1 cars wind em up during the Phoenix Grand Prix, witnessed Top Fuel Dragsters and Drag Boats run em till they blew up, and I have heard many engines of every variety in between those two extremes. They each sing their own noteworthy song. One is not better than the other, just different. That photo accurately portrays how you view others' sensibilities.

Drive or ride shotgun in a F430 and that opinion will change.

To each their own, but with you on this one. Pleated pants don't make a suit look better.

I honestly don't understand why, if you don't like the C7, what are you doing here? Trying to change the minds of those that do like it? There is a whole lot of internet out there, go find something you like and stop contaminating this board. If you like C6's better, there is a board for that. sorry for the ot but getting sick of these folks.

I have thought that the similarities of the 2 Ferrari's(F12 and 599) to the C7 is a good thing. Both of those cars are beautiful, and so is the C7.
