You have never done autocross or roadracing? It is amazing how many essentials one can carry in a vette to the track, including a set of track tires. :eek:

If only it would look and perform like the new F12 for a Corvette price. 730 horsepower and quickest production car on Ferrari's test track, EVER. Given its seperior and massive horspower, it must be AWD, a front engine rear drive car would be absolutely uncontrollable with those specs....... Strangely Ferrari's highest performance road car ever, is not AWD, it is RWD. Those Ferrari guys must be absolute idiots, what were they thinking? Given the 300k price tag they expect 20% of them to be daily drivers.
Yeah, I would be OK if the Corvette looked similar. |
I agree with your assessment of the Ferrari. Here's hoping the rear design is nothing like the depictions I have seen of the C7.

Yeah, I would be OK if the Corvette looked similar. I wouldn't be surprised to see them going for over $450k :eek: for the first year+. |

So who would complain about a car 'looking like a Ferrari?' I don't get it.

Several here don't see the comparison. Not saying I dislike ferarri even though I think the combination of angles and circles is disjointed, I just don't see the likeness. If the vette lines were to resemble a Ferarri I would prefer a more pleasing to the eye Ferarri body. The Ferarri lovers seem offended if one does not agree with them that the vette looks similar to Ferarri. What's up with that?:toetap:

Kind of like the girl in high school who feels pleased when her new hairstyle is copied by the "wannabees". |

Perhaps something to do with wanting something one adores/worships to be copied and emulated, psychologically speaking.

Obviously people will differ on this, but I personally don't want TOO much utility in a sports car. "Taking my dog with me" (or "how much stuff can I cram in the back") doesn't cross my mind when considering the purchase of a sports car.

Fair enough, but many of us make our sports car part of our daily life, so a little utility is real benefit. If a Corvette were to become a second vehicle only, sales would likely stay low as they are now, indefinitely.
I agree, I like being able to throw lots of stuff in my trunk, like an emergency grocery shopping. I can get $200 worth of food stuff and 6 12 packs of cola in there with room to spare. When the wife is out with the van, the Vette's trunk does a yeoman's job for me. I wouldn't have something like the old Fiero that would barely hold a briefcase... :crazy2: Best regards, ...z |

Best regards, ...z Seriously, I agree the utility is nice. I recently picked up pet food and litter. :D http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...106121515b.jpg It works as my DD quite well. :cheers: |

Well, minus the cola, I can fit $200 worth of groceries in a glove box. :lol:

I think there moving in the right direction making it easier for ferrari. I mean they might own the Corvette rights in a few years when gm bellys up anyways. Thanks for looking out for the Europeans general. Lol its going to look nothing like it once they take the sheet off just calm down. It's obvious after they built the car they weren't thinking man does that look like a ferrari had sex with a lambo... Well I hope they didn't can't wait to see the finished product!!!
