Here is a picture of the Ferrari posed in the same position as the 8448
picture. Almost perfect. The tail is a little closer to the Camaro's spoiler,
but I'll admit defeat.

The fourth generation Camaro does look a lot like the Super Street 8448, but
I think the Ferrari 550 Maranello fits it better.  The 550 has a
twelve cylinder and the Camaro has rear seats (tiny as they may be) so neither
is a perfect match.  I think Lego should have given the 8448 a V-12 anyway.
But then again, this could just be my dislike for Camaros.

The 8448 looks like a 4th gen Camaro to me. Front engine, V8, convertible, • mag
wheels, with the secret white plastic seat option you can only get through
Lego-Chevy dealerships. The Lego version has more cup holders than the Chevy,
and costs about $30,000 less with the same options, but everything else is
exactly the same.
