There's a lot of "Lambo" in the new Vette. Ferrari's are more curved, Lambo's more crisp and angular.

There was a lot of Ferrari 360 Modena in the C6.

All i know is, That C7 looks cheap with those crappy chrome wheels and chrome lip on the grill. Throw a lowered yellow coupe there with a set of HRE black wheels and itll hold its own next to that Lambo.

Hmm I personally hate the black wheels on the lambo or just about any car. Chrome can look tacky if you get huge oversized ones but when they are sized right and nice design still think nothing beats them. Personal taste of course.

The Gallardo styling is definitely exotic and out there. It looks like a supercar.
Personally out of Ferrari and Lambo generally like the 458 italia or F430 bit better than that Gallardo.

I really liked my c6 z06 in silver with chrome wheels. But while it looked pretty damn nice it didn't really have the wow factor or a Ferrari or lambo or McLaren or few other real high end exotics. The new c7 is a great looking car. From the front and side maybe not so much from the back. It is getting there on the exotic looking scale but so far is still maybe a 7 /10 compared to a Ferrari or Lambo being a 10/10. Maybe the c8 will look more 10/10. That concept covertte in silver to me was 10/10 . The c7 isn't anywhere near that radical or exotic looking. But hey still thinking hard on getting a c7 z06 in couple years when prices come down do to the magic of depreciation.

I own a yellow C7 coupe and love it, but the scarcity of Lambos on the steet make it unique. If I saw both without knowing anything about either of them, I might pick the C7 because it's a vert with headroom and great styling.

I'll take the Stingray and the extra money in the bank. I test drove one for over an hour and while it was quite some time ago, the stingray interior seems more spacious. The Lamborghini styling is always more edgy.

One of the reasons Corvettes are "creampuff" is that one day he put dozens of pillows in his vert's trunk. As it didn't fit, he applied pressure and cracked the said trunk. A ton of pillows equates softness, therefore Corvette = creampuff.

I like the Vette’s appearance far better and the Vette is a vastly better value.

In most cases, if you have a problem on the road far from home, a dealer can take care of you. Good frigging luck if your $300K Lambo dies, find a long distance tow truck ride, rent a car, drive home and get stuck with an obscene drop off charge or take an airline. I know which I’d prefer. Don

A Gallardo is not a small vehicle & looking at the picture with the Vette is huge, not saying it's photoshop'd but could it be a kit car?

As far as looking sexy, the Stingray wins by a mile!

Lambos are usually short, proportionately wide, and flat. The Gallardo is no exception: 170 x 75 x 46 in. And that's what I like about them.

C7: 177 x 74 x 49 in.

Murcielago: 180 x 80 x 45 in. Perhaps that's what you had in mind. One constant: very flat!

Both look great. Keep the one you like most, and you can give me the loser.

They are not even in the same realm on the same planet. Lambo hands down. If it weren't for the ridiculousness maintenance costs on Lambo's, I would have bought one instead of the C7. No regrets but clearly, a C7 is not in super car territory yet, just sayin'.....

Right on Sin City. I've been saying the same thing since I saw the Jalopnik leak two years ago November of 2011. I would say there's more Lambo in the Vette than Ferrari.

If the C7 had black wheels.. then I'd give the looks crown to the C7.

That said.. the chrome wheels really date the car. The yellow Lambo with the black wheels is just a better, newer, looking combo.

I'm a Lambo fanboi if there ever was one but that brings home how far the Corvette has come in a few years, far enough that I would have a hard time justifying a Gallardo now.

???

Haven't seen one in person, have you? It's about Prius size with a V10 where the back seats would go. I wouldn't say it LOOKS like a Prius except for the short nose. No photoshop or kit car in that shot. Next time I go by Lamborghini Carolinas I'll try to take a picture of my C6 next to a Gallardo.
