What's also strange is where you see corvettes in the country. When I lived in Westlake village, CA I did not see many corvettes on the road however here in Dallas I see quite a few. Same in IL. I guess it's more of a mid western / southern car....

yeah see lots and lots of old camero's in central and northern cally, as far the vette goes... is it really worth 60k to pull .5 gees more in corner? and never drive another dirt road? not to me... one road I like in lockwood valley as no bridges, you've got to drive through the water when the creeks are running or go back the way you came... about 25 miles... it's a totally awesome road that will NEVER see an exotic car, it's vette country for sure though
yes the vette has issues "ass happy' being one of them, 'under steer' being another... the interiors are much better these days and my interior is fine after 5+ years, the vette is probably the most reliable car I've ever had. had several Toyota's in the past. and I'm pretty sure whatever you are driving around is 'cheap plastic crap' to bunch of people
I was chattting with a guy that has a turbo porche and an aston martin as well as the vette. he drives the vette on a daily basis... up to 170 at times... total wild man for sure. i once raced jay leno in my vette againt his old lambo, we hit 130+, he didn't pull off and leave me
