Ford GT compared to 2020 Corvette
« on: August 14, 2019, 10:30:07 PM »
See any similarities here besides colour?  Square steering wheel, mid-engined, body lines.  Even the "C" pillar man oh man!  Only thing missing on the Vette are the flying buttresses.  I wonder where the Vette got its inspiration??  Hmmmmm.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Not even in the same universe of design quality.

Yes agreed.  And it was so sweet to see the Ford GT win one and two at Road America two weekends ago.

IMHO mid-engine styling is difficult to create a distinguished look. View the cars in profile. There's air intakes behind the rear door edge and the shape is dictated by air flow management. Big C8 styling twitter complaint was that it looks like a Ferrari which looks like a Lamborghini. . .

Ford pulled off a unique profile thanks to the GT's flying buttresses. Glad Corvette "borrowed" Ford styling and not the other way around.

The new Corvette "shares" some design elements of the Ferrari and even more the Acura NSX.

Or less....... depending on the number of recalls, unexplained engine failures, etc. The UAW strike has already has delayed production.

Those numbers will mean nothing to the bald old men that will buy many of them, except for when they are in some parking lot or at the dinner bragging about what the car can do, (but not what they can't do) LOL

I have a full head of hair and I don't like the new corvette.

Is there a correlation between hair and the new vette?  :D
