+1 on the vette, if Chevy keeps their current trend up with the vette that'll be the only car I'll upgrade too...

YES the car has gobs of horsepower and torque, but in terms of drive the z beats the corvette hands down. take a turn in the z at 80 or take a turn in the vette at 80, the z feels better.

I actually think the 997 models look quite good, especially GT3/GT3 RS.

Dont get me wrong because I have an 02 accord along with the Z and I love my accord! But I never thought of it as a sport car at all....just me, though

1)they are new cars with interesting side profiles
2)they are potential choices for my friend(who made this chart) to buy lol

+100
Stock for stock , teh c6 is a lot better than the z in terms on handling. Turning at 80 mph in both cars won't say anything about the handling.
My wife has a tC, and even though they drive completely different, I told her the side profile is very very similar. she didn't agree. but its online in a forum, so I know I'm right now!
I love the G's profile. Not a vette fan...but this is the best looking vette in years if not decades.

Personally, I prefer the profile of the Cayman to the 911:
I also like the classic long hood with cockpit pushed back look of the Z4 coupe (though it would look better without the Bangle over-styling):

What I saw at first when I scrolled down the list quickly is that if you focus right in the middle above the door and just glance at the shape the windshield takes then follow up over the roofline and start towards the back about 80% of these cars look IDENTICAL. Vette is way different and GT-R is an illusion at first but is nearly the same.
Did they all buy wind tunnel time together?

Got a question... When a man in Nebraska gets married, does he call her his wife or sis? I always get confused with that.
Is it also true the family trees in Nebraska only have one branch?
Just curious.
vette has such a classic sports car profile from the side compared to the others.
the Z always looked too tall to me. the roofline is too high. needs a chop top. and the front end is stubby.that is why I like the Nismo V2 front, it elongates it more like the porsche.

I don't know about chopping the top without bringing the door's window line down.
