Is the 2013 Corvette a Ferrari for the 99%?

In Post 13 it briefly mentions stitching. That reminds me, I think to get contrasting stitching on the Corvette, I think you have to go to the 4LT and then there has been an additional charge of 300 or $400. I dont know why there is an additional charge as stitching is stitching. Its all programmed into the computer. My 2012 Equinox has a contrasting stitching and its not listed anywhere as far as an extra charge. Chevrolet, WHY??? ...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the corvette is actually one of the more poorly built GM's these days when it comes to fit/finish. My CTS is light years ahead when it comes to quality. The Vette is good, but their production process is very old now. That's not to say the car isn't bulletproof, just an old build process.

In fact, the Occutard protestors are the so-called 1%. They're just to ignorant to know it. I don't see the Corvette as the poor man's Ferrari. Each car is what it is with its own pros and cons....both are beautiful cars IMO. I'd use a Ferrari quite differently than how I use my Corvette.

Funny how both had vastly different opinions on the interior.One comments on a bad interior(calls it boy racer??)It's anything but.While not high quality, it is reserved,functional,with good ergonomics and pleasing to the eye.

The 99% Ferrari is the Viper, Lotus Evora, AudiR8, Aston Martin, Maserati, etc. Basically cars in the Mid $100k. The Chevy Corvette is the 99% for people who love Corvettes.

I agree with your cross compare, and while i agree that there are areas for improvement in the interior department, everyone that complains about the Corvette interior will NEVER be satisfied, and here's why. IT's NOT A FERRARI! GM is never going to spend the money to hire people to hand stich and assemble 'work of art' level interiors. It's just a core difference between a company who ONLY makes supercars and a company that has a supercar in its lineup. Now, a seperate argument in a different thread could address whether or not a 'ZR-1' level of corvette 'SHOULD' have an Italian level of interior, and i would agree. But, IMO, that is not the core argument of your position.

this is a funny thread im building a tribute corvette because i love my daughter and wouldnt own a corvette if it wasnt for her. she brought home great report cards and wanted ferrari style shields on the fenders. so our car has them and if anything it makes the car very classy and expensive looking. now im getting all sorts of bad comments for doing something i promised my daughter and yet again the corvette is being compared to ferrari. and heres the kicker ferrari and corvette share parts.

. And yes, they're a work of art. However, I'd take the Vette on a long trip

OP don't say 1% or 99% around here. You have a bunch of people here who are desperate to pretend they are part of the 1% and get outraged at the very mention of such.
