I'm sure most can spot that the AMG C-Class and the DTM C-Class don't have much in common, but both are muscle/sporty cars so does it matter?
Anyone who notes the 5 L motor and the live rear axle will be able to notice that a VE Supercar is not based on an SS. But at least they are along the same lines, and the SS is certainly fast enough for the unwary to integrate with a tree even in standard tune.
