I wouldn's go so far to say 'very' similar but at this point in
time with aerodynamics being what they are, you can only go
a few directions in certain areas. The other car guys do the
same and you get certain aspects of cars looking...similar.
Now having said all that...

I do agree the hood
especially looks like VERY similar to the current SRT's.
The side coves has always been a Vette thing and they
are a carry over from the C5, albeit more rigid and longer
in a vertical sense.
The decision to go 'non-pop-up' was probably the biggest
struggle within. Again, with non-pop ups and the body
design from the hood/bumper and front fenders and to do
HID, I suppose the design gets limited in trying to exert
'function over form'.
Heck, I'll take a Viper comparison, rather than the S2000
comments when the SRT was first introduced.
