I will admit that pre C5 vette GM had pathetic attempts at fast production cars and other than a few models like the GNX/Grand National's or C4 ZR1 Vette's. But it is different now, they know what the vette means to the company now vs not knowing then and after about 01 the Vette's are really killer deals for what you get.

I would take which ever one performs better for the $$$$, not doing so lables you as a blind fanatic of imports. "It's better because it is this brand" type of crap. The Z06 can run in the 10's bone stock and out handle a 911 GT2 in turns. All while getting a epa average of 30mpg on the interstate.

Seems preatty dam sweet to me i would take that over a Z06 any day but thats just me. . .
I'd rather have a AWD import anyday over any chevy.

have lack luster interiors for their price range, and lack an overall feel of quality that other cars in that price range have.

No doubt that it is the best performer for the price, which is why I would buy one if I had the choice. But you also have to look at the fact that they depreciate very quickly, have lack luster interiors for their price range, and lack an overall feel of quality that other cars in that price range have. Don't get me wrong, they are great, just not for everyone.

People say that import companies have better interiors but for the most part if you take say a NSX interior and compare it to a Vette interior there really is not a better vs worse thing. They are just different layouts, different feels, same quality wise but neither is for everyone.

thanks for a properly thought out response marty unlike some others...as I said, I too would take the vette, I'm just saying they aren't for everyone. And while I've never driven them all myself, I think there is a reason that all of the car magazines say that the interior is lackluster, and that there isn't the overall feel of quality. I don't think you'll find one person staffing a car magazine that will say that the corvette has the same feeling of quality as a porche.

"Ruthless performance notwithstanding, I usually tire of the Corvette quickly, instead yearning for a more polished implement like a Porsche Cayman. Sure, I enjoyed the urgent, chest-resonating roar from the new exhaust, but the gains in refinement—a remarkably upscale stitched-leather dash; a friendlier, lighter-effort shifter; and dramatically improved steering feel—are far more significant. The next step is to ditch the flimsy seats. Start by benchmarking a $30,000 Mitsubishi Evo’s."
That's one of the things car and driver said in a recent review. Like I said, I don't want anyone to misunderstand me, I myself would take one, but these are the types of reasons i can understand why SOME would not want one.
