I don't like the feel of the Vette or Viper. They both feel too heavy.

The 08 Turbo Porsche is expensive and that's its only drawback, but not expensive compared to the exotics, which in my opinion don't drive as well.

It has a scrolling turbo which provides power at both ends, great traction and the best brakes in the business. It is the best overall buy in the sports car line. It has a ten second turbo booster of ten percent power increase from the mid fours to the low fives. Something like 3.7 in the sixty.

It's not a muscle car but a fine piece of machinery. It's the finely tuned woman, with a perfect body that knows how to use it as compared to the hussy with big augmentation and lots of experience.

VV, this is what I was saying earlier. A Corvette is an american muscle car, not a sports car.

And, yes, it is a bang-for-your-buck car, at that. If you want the best dollat to HP ratio, then buy a Corvette, hands down. Enjoy your Chevrolet.

Let's be honest, when you are spending 50-130K on a car, part of that purchase is image and brand. A corvette does not have the same cache as a Porsche. not by a mile.

You keep saying this. Not sure what you mean.

Enlighten.

I actually looked and see your point.

I retract my previous statement.

The Corvette is a sports car. For poor people.

The corvette is arguably the best SPORTS car for its price. (notice that I didn't say MUSCLE car)

Now if you and Archaea want to tell us how they don't compare to cars that are six-figures, I know some sixth graders who would like to listen.

The corvette Z-06 is not cheap!! A lot less than Viper or Porsche, but not cheap. I just didn't want a girlie car.....

I already said the Vette is the best bang for your buck car out there. Best dollar to HP ratio. If calling it a sports car is your thing, then ok, lets call it a sports car. (I forgot, NASCAR is kind of a sport)

If it is what you can afford, go for it. It is awesome at the drive-in, going out for fast food, cruising down the main road of a backwoods town, showing off to Camero owners, etc...

I also said you can get a Porsche for WAY under 6 figures. There isnt anything magical about a brand new Porsche.

Triplet, have you or do you race? Or have a friend who does?

Your points were exactly what I would've replied if I typed faster...Oh, for the fastest car for the buck, check 1gracing.com. The Noble 400 is what I wanted, but wife compromised!! 425 hp and 2300 pounds. Mini countach and 0-60 in 3.2 and can be tweaked to 2.9 for 60. I drove it, and heart was fluttering on back roads of Ohio.
