That's the most infuriating part! It smokes EVERYTHING in its price class in terms of performance (unless you're comparing ZR1 to GTR - and even then the ZR1 holds it's own) and yet they still pick the twice as expensive Porsche as the one they would buy because it has a better interior. :rolleyes:

With that said, the seats on the Corvette are HORRENDOUS! Even if you throw down $120K for a fully loaded ZR1, you get the same seats I had in my $44K base model. :shakes head:

But I wouldn't pay twice as much for less performance just for a better interior.

There will _always_ be haters. If you love the car, love the car. End of discussion.

The vette has a split fan base between it being the most overrated and most underrated car. I've read a lot of vette hate, believe it or not. Mainly because its built chintzy, cheap interior, bad transmissions, isn't fun to drive on regular roads, and cost $15k over it's value by opinion.
Others applaud its ultra light weight for its features, record breaking grip, acceleration in its price range. Record breaking top speed of 190mph and incredible track times on a base vette, considering it a value buy.

There is definitely a love/hate by reviewers and fans alike.

They put a premium on performance over luxury. I agree, this will draw fans and haters alike.

No problems here
 
Porsche Boxsters and Caymans should be on the list IMS failures.
Two years and no problems.

Volvo's are dope... You gotta be a serious car guy to understand volvo's worth in the enthusiast world. These were some of the best cars ever built. :tup:

I'm a fan though i don't own.
