Possibly sports package vs. Base?

Also, this could be just the difference between different progress levels in their designing the car in the first place.

Wow... I had no clue about that. That's a shame because the Jap version looks a lot cleaner.

I wonder why we need to know our RPMs in 100th's. I could care less about that... I just need to know where the 500 and 1000 RPM marks are.

Whoa... Don't get me wrong, the C6 is a BEAUTIFULLY sculpted car. But lets face it, it's a little worse than hit-n-miss with GM when it comes to reliability.

However, GM always lacks in the interior department... Rolling windows down in the Solstice makes you feel a bit retarded since the switches are by your elbows in an already tight cabin. Corvettes get a slightly better interior because of the name, but nothing impressive to me.
