I was joking with the "copyright infringement" comment, but if you dont think these two cars have VERY similar lines from the front splitter all the way to the rear shoulder then you may need to get your eyes checked.

The front two thirds are the most similar. Try this, scroll up to the original photo of the Ferrari, put your right hand up to the screen and cover everything up from the gas cap back. Add another vent on the door and you have a Vette.

The two cars look nothing alike other than being 2-seat front-engined sports cars of similar dimensions. The only reason people think of Corvettes when they see these is because the Vette is the closest thing in their mind to relate it to.

Physics and aerodynamics dictate the basic package, but beyond that...
Come on, with the exception of scoop placement, those cars have nearly identical lines.

Oh, and they both have MSRC suspension courtesy of GM/Delphi

I think you guys are the ones who need your eyes checked.

Blurred vision would make their silhouettes line up. Sharp eyes can see... EVERYTHING else.

Saying these two look the same is akin to calling Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johanssen twins.

This is a silly argument, but I kind of like it, the cars and the chicks

I will also add that Ferrari has been designing cars with these proportions since the 50s.

Corvette didn't get to the flowing feminine curves until '68
