Also I doubt the average age of a Porsche owner versus a Corvette owner is that different, not sure why the Corvette always gets slammed as an "old man" car.


edit: lol, Import, you should just start a Corvette thread, like we have a Mustang thread, I think there's enough interest and there are a few Corvette owners on the forum. I'd certainly be interested in hearing from you guys.

Because it's such a damn fine ride that that's about all anyone can think of to poke at it.

What do you want to hear from us? 190+mph top speed, 0-60 in around 4 seconds or less, 0-100 in around 9 seconds or less, and over 1G on the skidpad in a car that gets great mileage (My Z06 got a manually figured 26.02mpg over 117 miles the other week on the freeway including some on/off ramps and a bit of WOT. I covered the same ground twice, coming and going, so that eliminates "going down hill" all the way as the reason.).

Really that's about it. Corvette's perform right up there with the top of the line imports from Porsche, Ferrari, etc. they are affordable, and the interior isn't nearly as shabby as people want to pretend that it is to justify having bought something else.

*However*

The only 370Z and corvette that can be compared are loaded 370Z's and the coupe C6, simply due to price. Comparing a Z06 to a stock 370Z just doesn't equate price-wise. Sure, each car does something better than the other here or there, but then, my daily beater does some things better than a Ferrari. Noone really cares.
