2 types of corvettes here, the stock ones with added vette logos and custom plates, and the crazy 1000+hp ones with custom plates.
either way your fucked if you have a basically stock vette, you dont fit in with anyone. At cars and coffee there are probably 40% corvettes!

The car the big 3 can't seem to build, decent looks, turbo engine >3.0 litre, rear wheel drive 4 seater, 2800 lbs, 6 speed, IRS, <300 hp stock with enough strength to handle 550,crackable ecu and >35,000.00 canadian. No siily sunroof,or dvd options, no leather, basically a modern day Plymouth Road runner.
Every car they come out with to compete with the asian favourite tuner cars are lame FWD and butt ugly, or its so portley and overweight , it really needs a zillion horsepower to make it fast in a straight line and would get killed on a road course.
Does the Challenger need to be 4000 lbs? , the charger 4200 lbs? The camaro 3900 lbs? And the versions of these cars with the "real motors" all end up well over 50,000.00 in Canada.
The new Hyundai coupe is where the big 3 need to be, I mean really Hyundai has better North American consumer vision than the big 3..

I'll pass i'm glad to be rid of the stang. Poorly built, road noise was HORRIBLE, all the plastic crap, vents, center console were coming apart at 30,000 miles, t5 transmission = FAIL, rust on the hood under the paint... hmmm what else.
