I don't like the Corvette, big name but cheap interior and bad cornering compared with other sports car (which are more expensive, yes - quality costs)

Come on, I know there is got to be other people here who like the 'vette. BTW, Racko, what other sports cars do you have in mind? Perhaps they are on my list of favorites also.
Lol JETPILOT, good one, I didn't notice the Z3 when I posted. That's a nice car too.

Yep. I like the 'Vette also. In fact, my all-time dream car would be the 1967 Corvette ragtop, with a 427 cid engine, 4-speed manual tranny & of course, fire engine red in color. Tell me folks, do you care to share your knowledge & opinion on the 1983 model? Just wondering what y'all think. Regards.

I have had alot of experience in Corvettes as of the past year and a half. While I think the interior is nothing special the overall look of the car is excelent! I fondly remember getting into a bright red ZO6 vette one day and laying into it! The cluth is very smooth on the 6 speed transmission and made it possible to throw some "mad gears". The sound of the beast in first gear with the pedal stuck to the floor is great! For me it was one of those rare times where my hands started to shake after throwing it into second gear because the power was just so incredible! (Only happend before on a Ferrari 550 Barchetta and 360 Modena Spider). So yes I am a fan of corvettes for sure!

Cheap interior....Racko have you been in a 2003 Corvette? Please what are you talking about?
Heres one of our families friends vette...
What a great vehicle!
Chevy makes this supercar so that not only the extra rich "full of themselves" people can afford it but people that dont have $120,000 laying around...And it still spanks some azz.
Bad cornering bad interior....*sighs* I love how you just make up stuff....

The cornering performance of the newer models luckily isn't what it used to be, I was rather surprised myself. Although it's not the type of car I'd use for a high speed chase on a twisting mountain road.

Since you don't seem to get it, I was pointing at the fact that it's cornering performance doesn't match it's great acceleration. It's a rather heavy car after all.

Ummmmm...................haha..........funny.
For such a higher quality car, the X3 should at least be able to out-run the Vette right?
I don't like the Corvette, big name but cheap interior and bad cornering compared with other sports car
OMG.............
It's funny how some of you American car haters like to make up crap when you run out of arguments. In what ways is the Corvette interior cheap?
The interiors looks no less cheap than any import sports car I've seen.
I just feel a hint of jealousy coming from you import boys about the Corvette. It can out-run almost any foreign sports car, yet it costs less than almost any foreign sports car. It is AMERICAN MADE as well.

The new (C-5) Corvette is a very nice piece, especially the Z-06
But those 74-82 Corvettes, pieces o' crap....a bad joke...a mere shadow of what they once were in the glory days of the late '60s and early '70s. The engines were choked down with emissions control devices, and de-tuned to meet mileage requirements. True disco-era boulevard cruisers. Mechanically, they were little more than 2-seat Monte Carlos with swoopy fiberglass bodies.
Then when they developed the LT1 engine, the Corvette became a contender again. Only gotten better since.

Z06 is a winner in my book! My favorite Chev besides the ImpalaSS's. The late '70's and '80's Vette's were not great, but your calling the new models "cheap"?
BTW, you can't compare build quality against a Z3, the Bimmer roadster's build quality is not too great from what I have heard.

LOT,
How old are you man? If you are anywhere from 16 to at least 18 your pretty damn lucky to be cruisin' in a late model Impala. Yes, I did mean the '94-'96 models. It's a real shame that GM terminated the Caprice/Roadmaster/ImpalaSS design, even more reason to justify my loss of respect for GM. It's just a shame the Impala's only came in Auto's. I have been thinking how a Tranny conversion would come along, of course it's possible, I would definately look into one if I ever had an Impala. Adding to my previous post, I forgot my other favorite Chev, the old skool '80's F-Body MonteSS's.

I am a die hard 'Vette fan! The Vette is an excellant car, it puts all of those rice burners to shame!! The interior in the Vette is fine, it may not look like the interior of a BMW, but it is just as comfortable, and better looking IMO.
Staffan: The Vette's cornering isn't that bad. My uncle used to own a '92 Vette, and it had no problem cornering, in fact, it hugged the road!
