I own a corvette because I like it and that's it.

Yeah, I'm still thinking that way.

"lifes to sort to be ridin a chevy" and "yea if my car was all fiberglass it would do 0-60 that fast too"

anyone else see this?

it might be easier if I put it this way; "GT-R? it's just a Nissan..." nail that stands out gets hammered.

had a chance to drive a brand new 08 cobalt with only 55 miles when I got it for 3~4 days while my car was in shop. I put about 400~500 miles on it and I wouldn't be surprised if someone can't acknowledge corvette's performance because it's made by chevy.

it only takes 1 poorly designed/made car to bring down the entire brand's cars with it.
