Yeah, for some reason most uninformed people have a neutral-to-negative view of the corvette. Porsche is exactly the opposite.
I asked some female family members what they thought about vettes, and their answers were along the lines of: cheap/crappy quality/what you get if you cant afford a porsche/etc. They were all surprised to learn (1) how much corvettes actually cost, and (2) how good their performance is. I would bet that if presented with the question "which would win a race around a typical race track - a corvette z06 or a porsche boxster," the majority of the population would choose the boxster.
Anyway, having driven a Cayman S I have to say it's a great car. But if I were upgrading from a Z, I would want something with a lot more power than that.
