I asked my neighbor who used to be a gogo dancer and now her kids a gogo dancer what they thought of me getting a corvette last year and they said that they associate those cars with Pedophiles...
It's just the opinion of two women, but still, that's not what I want to be associated with!

The C6 is one of the best sports cars on the market.... period. It's also one of the best values based on performance.

The frount fasica may be getting a bit dated at this point.... maybe time for a new frount end update.... but otherwise it is still a very good looking car.

Yeah I was going to say, why is this still being debated? The guy is wrong, period end of story.

I dunno what the dude's problem is but at this point in the Corvette's life, it is essentially a FACT that the Corvette is awesome. We can debate about what cars are as good or better, but you can't really make a claim against the Vette anymore. It has definitely earned it's place among the greatest autos in history.

I find it funny that he complains that the vette "costs too much" then talks about getting a new Porsche instead

I'm surprised the Corvette is now over $100,000, I never really saw it as that fast or that expensive a car. I think it's a pretty cool car though to be honest and I wouldn't mind having one

I hope you understand that only the ZR1 is over $100,000. It is fast, and also inexpensive compared to it's competition. A coworker just bought a 3lt 2009 Corvette brand new for 44k. Deals can be easily had, and you get a lot of car for that much money. I just can't understand how people think it is over priced.

In my opinion the C6 is the best looking Corvette to ever be built. It is a top performer. I don't see a C6 in 15 years being looked at like most people do a C4 today.

Get over it.

What is the top speed then? Does look fairly quick and must be at the price.

Base price C3 (1982) Vette: $18.2k 2009 price: $39k

Base price C4 (1996) Vette: $38k. 2009 price: $51k

Base price C6 (2009) Vette: $48.5K 1996 price: $35k



Aside from the straight pricing the Corvette was even MORE expensive back in the day if you factor in inflation. Ive never understood the "common man car" arguement when it talks about how "cheap" a Corvette was.

I have no idea what the top speed is. Top speed doesn't matter to me, because I never try and wind a car all the way out. I believe a ZR1 will do 200mph, but the acceleration, and handling are the important things... not top speed.

Exactly. Contradiction. You know how they say everyone has an opinion, and how opinions aren't right or wrong? Well, there is one instance where an opinion is wrong, and that's when it's a contradiction of your own words. That is exactly why his opinion is wrong and garbage, because all he does is contradict himself.

I just dismiss the entire article as the ramblings of a fool. No matter how popular the car is, or how great it ranks in it's respective catagories, there will always be someone that doesn't like it. Just so happens that this fool has a by-line to his name.
