The Corvette looks bigger than it is but it's still a great looking car. No doubt a vette is more powerful than a Cayman r. The 911 is longer than the z but the 911 looks smaller. It's because the lower part of the body bulges out but the roof and cabin area tapers in a lot. And the engine is in the back so the 911 doesn't have such a high and wide hood. I love bulging fenders but I like a narrow and low hood, and a small cabin.

What I meant about put together, I meant the alignment of the sheetmetal, the spacing and the length of the gap.

Have you looked at a new 'vette?

Reason I ask, is because when I looked at them in 2005, they looked horrible. Now in 2011/12YM, they are a lot better. Still, carbon-fiber and SMC will not be as precise as metal. Then, it's lighter and won't dent like metal, either. It's a trade-off.
All the gaps on my car were plasti-gauged and adjusted several times over at the factory. I watched. You would shat a brick if you knew how those panels were adjusted, lol.

It's obvious you don't want a 'vette, and from what you say I don't think you would be happy with one, I'm just throwing out info, that's all. Not trying to somehow "convince" you. Your mind is made up and that's cool, different strokes and all that.
