Best engineered, emphatically YES. Most beautiful, no, not in my opinion.

there's def more than a passing resemblance, but that's not a bad thing imo.

still not 100% sold on the rear end but it's def going to be a great car and kudos to chevy for finally offering real seats in their sports car.

Yea, I like that they resemble eachother. If Chevrolet did copy from Ferrari, I see that as them having balls. Bring themselves closer with the best in the world of performance cars. . .

well, it's only fair seeing as how ferrari leased GM's magnetic ride control tech for use in their 458 if iirc.

i had heard a rumor that GM sold(?) their mag.ride control technology TO Ferrari. Also, i've heard other technologies that debut in other cars actually were originally developed by GM . . . ex. Audi's cross-linked magnetized shocks that use electric signals to stiffen/loosen a metal gel inside the shock. True ? ? ?

MagneRide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Originally Delphi, now China... not GM

I don't think in this particular case it was GM technology, but there's a lot of sharing that happens in the industry. Case in point, Nissan uses Ford's PTWA tech to toss a layer of iron/iron oxide on the cyclinders in the GTR
