Yawn. Least amount of cargo capacity? That means we win, right? I mean, when I bought a 350hp RWD coupe how many kids' soccer bags fit in the back was

Yawn. Least amount of cargo capacity? That means we win, right? I mean, when I bought a 350hp RWD coupe how many kids' soccer bags fit in the back was somewhere near the bottom of my priorities.

Honestly I like how I have no space. None of my friends bother me for rides or for me to move any of their ****. I have room for myself and a date and that's good enough.

I happen to agree. Total waste of time if you read these articles. And what do they say about the space in a 4C, a 4S, a TT, the list goes on. Total silliness.

Do you mean Corvette and Driver? Chevy once announced the Corvette was design to hold golf clubs for the wussies who play golf. My 370z holds my tennis racquets just fine for those of us who actually play a sport and move and sweat when they play.
Did you see the Lightning Lap issue where they admitted they blew up 2 Corvettes?

The Z is my only car. Since I've bought it my grocery bill is down $100 per week and I've lost 20 lbs. I couldn't figure out why until Car and Driver made that article!
