Considering the Corvette is a single car - and Ferrari is an entire company - I would hope that Ferrari has more racing heritage than the Corvette as a car.

However, when it comes to single model lineage, the Corvette is only ousted by VW Beetle - and apart from Herbie - has no racing heritage.

I think the longest running streek for a Ferrari model is about 7 years - with the successful racing chassis being redesigned EVERY year to compete - whereas the times that Corvette (again a single model - not a company) has gone racing, it has kicked ass with the same model a couyple years in a row - and when doing so was based on the STREET car, which was then changed for street car reasons and the racing Corvette would then come back and begin winning again.



So - it is rather difficult to dismiss the heritage thing - so lets call it a wash as well.

SO now we come down to it that the 360 does not even have a unique or lengthy racing heritage afterall, and is still over priced, easily out performed and really common.. :shock: :shock:

I guess it is not really that greta of a car afterall...
