I for one am rooting for the Vette to do well, even though I'd probably never buy one (although I wouldn't mind taking it for a spin). Let me tell you why:
When historic car companies like Porsche and Ferrari corner a market, the percieved notion is that a monopoloized territory (such as the 911 with the 100k dollar sports car) can loose its intention of pushing the technological envelope in newer models. A lot of people complain about the minimal hp increases in the new Porsche lines (although a hp race is hardly an accurate gague of technical innovation), a cheaper, viable competitor will push Porsche to make a better product.
It can only help...anyone who can't see that is being naieve and has a tendency of homerism.
My feelings are very similar. It's only a good thing if other companies are able to produce successful sports cars.
