I just had the opportunity to drive a Corvette Grand Sport 6MT during a Chevy test drive experience last weekend. The interior has been improved and feels livable but not luxurious. The driving experience is awesome though. It pulls much harder than our Z and the steering feel is light and extremely responsive. The new vette is an awesome car, but I can't get over the demographic I usually see driving it. Also, too many vette owners think they have supercars. It annoys me.

I agree with all you said except the demographic issue.z owners could say
the same thing about the corvette guys about the demographics

two things the cars do have in common...... for the money in each price range
they have no equals.
