Well, I'm not a guy so I can't answer your question from a guy's perspective. However, as a woman who has had sports cars (and quite a few of them Corvettes) for years, I can tell you, from a woman's perspective, yes...guys do like a woman who drives a sports car, especially a standard!! But, then, is there any other type of sports car??!

hey, another of the forum ladies checking in. i'll relate MY personal experience even though this question was directed to the forum men.

guys love hot cars. guys love women. ergo, put a woman in a hot car... i *always* get a good response from guys... thumbs up, waves, etc etc etc when i'm driving the vette.

now then... women? WHOLE different story. and, though i hate to say it being 22 myself... the younger they are, the more "hostile" they seem to be. i've had other chicks make snide remarks at gas stations, cruise-nights, etc when i'm driving the vette. i mean, not like i CARE what some skank at a gas station thinks, but i think it's funny the way other women will react.

anyway.. there it is.

Women are cold to each other that way! Most likely the "skanks" are jealous that a peer of only 22 years old is driving such a fine ride!

I always snap my head around when I see a woman in a sports car. I was sitting on the side of the road, after my wife and I were rear-ended, and a young girl in a WS6 with Borla's on it drove by. I almost got caught looking by my mourning (lose of vette) wife. Even funnier the girl almost hit another car smiling back and looking at the vette......

You've gotta love a woman driving a Vette vert who isn't worried about how her hair looks and doesn't get all up-tight when one of us checks her out from the passing lane.
