Actually checked out a vette CLOSELY today.
I looked at a new vette up close and personal for about a half hour today. My conclusion?
If it didn't look like a Corvette I might have bought one (the muscle/rocket car image suuuuucks).
Then again, the thing is way too cheaply made (interior components materials, etc) for me to be interested.
When you're used to quality (in the things you have) and used to paying for that quality you can't see "good value" as a good enough value.
Discerning razor thin performance comps? Ehhhh, I don't track the car, I just avoid speeding tickets on public roads. If Porsche would just slap a 450 hp in their base Carrera the comps with Corvette would be over.
