Best
Thanks for the clarification. Thta's how the article portrayed the events

Rightly so. Wouldn't you spit on a Corvette trying to impersonate a Ferrari?
Not at all - I am sure you must be up on your Pininfarina history, and if so, must know they have done a couple car for GM over the years.

My implication was that had this been a Pininfarina Corvette base special (or Viper based, or Mustang based - heck even Porsche based) your reaction might be more critical.
