C6 and callaway

Anyone notice some similarities between the c6 and the callaway c12 front ends. Namely the center hood buldge, fenders, headlights, and grill. Not saying they are exactly the same but it hit me all of a sudden the other night that they are similar.

Aside from the headlights...all the areas you mentioned also had roots in the Corvette's past.

I agree. There's definetley some similarity between the two. I think the C6 looks closer to the C12 then it does to the Viper SRT-10.

Geez... ho humm people, MAYBE ITS BECAUSE THE C12 IS A CALLAWAY BODY ON A CORVETTE CHASSIS?

Forgive the attitude, but I'm sick of hearing this looks like that and that looks like this... all cars look like something else, doesn't mean it was copied. Hell every damn car in the 60's and 70's looked alike. They must have all copied the Camaro.:rolleyes

I don't think the C6 is an all-out copy of ANY car, but it does have some similar features of current cars like the C12. If you want to see copying, look no further than most Korean cars. They try to copy more expensive luxury cars as much as possible.

Again I'm not saying that it was copied. Just pointing out similarities.
