Did Ferrari just make a Corvette?

There's some debate as to how the numbers were arrived at, but cars like the Tatra T77 are supposed to be extremely aerodynamice.  And the T77 is quite nice to look at if the alternative is looking at whatever this Ferrari is, in my estimation, although I may be seen as weird.

Why does Superfast sound so damn goofy but Superveloce doesn't when it's the same damn thing?

It does look Corvettish but I remember chatter about the C7 looking Viperish and Ferrarish when the it was new.

I agree that once you list all the requirements, there's only a limited number of shapes that'll satisfy it. That said, this does open up Ferrari owners for some ribbing, as in "What kitcar panels are those that you used to make your Corvette look like a Ferrari?"

yes, but again, Ferrari just does it better

You can't blame them for trying to copy a winning formula.

Be patient, though. In time they'll be able to build something that not only looks as good, but is as capable and reliable.

It will just cost 5 times more than the Vette

Even the protafino has a wiff of corvette about it.

Superfast?  Are they really calling it that?

The original Superfast:

Edit:  Okay, so maybe I'm wrong.  Ferrari first used the name Superfast around 1964.  Matchbox started using the name around 1970.

 

Please people...  Iso Grifo: "Ferrari" with a Vette motor.

Well, i guess we can say that GM has come a long way from the days when i couldn't stand the front of a C6 because it couldn't pull off (imo) Ferrari Modena headlights.

I could go on, but you get the drift.

Plus, front engine, RWD, 2 seat GTs all tend to look alike, and all have common ancestry. From this Ferrari to Corvettes, to Astons, to, well you get the picture. It's always the details that are different and set them apart.

I always saw them as more of a "poor" man's 575 Maranello, which is kind of like being a poor man's Scarlett Johansson. Not mad about either one. There are no losers in this situation.

So I was driving through metro Detroit on I-94 today when I see a red car closing on me from behind.  Until it was literally about three car lengths behind me I thought, oh, look a new Stingray.  At about 3 car lengths, I first noticed the proportions were a little bit off for a Vette.  It was at that point that I saw the prancing horse on the hood.  Traffic was pretty thick and he/she was really hustling, so I didn't get that great of a chance to look at it, but I'm about 90% sure it was a Superfast.  (I know, BS w/o pics) 

I gotta say, it looks more "Corvetty" in person that it does in pictures.  

I don't know if its relevent but I think all NASCARs look the same.
