Not to mention the Ferrari is probably owned by some Newport Coast douche nozzle...

Most Ferrari’s at a glance, looks like a Japanese car unlike the Lambo’s, you know it’s a Lamborghini!!
I take the C7 any day of the week over that Ferrari!!!

I figure if you're gonna compare the high end Vette, it should be compared to the high end Ferrari.

C7Z almost makes that 360 look dated?

I suppose some people think that car looks great. I think it looks like crap, and I'd be mortified if the new ME Corvette ended up looking like that.

When cross shopping cars I can understand comparing the Z06 and La Ferrari. They cost about the same right?

Are you star-struck or something? It is very easy for someone to prefer a Corvette over a La Ferrari. You don't have to like something just because the so-called "experts" like it. Personally I really dislike the looks of the La Ferrari. As I said, if GM models their ME after the La Ferrari I will be extremely disappointed.

Huge Corvette fan of 20+ years, but I can’t argue that GM makes anything I would argue is superior to a La Ferrari. Nobody at GM would make that argument either!

No, they don't. But they could. And if they did, it would be second to no one. Look what your getting for $130+. Imagine a vette at $400? But alas, they sell to the masses and I'm glad about that.

The 360 looks pretty tame next to the Z.

That's a 430, not a 360. Regardless the Z blows it away in every department.
