Exactly, more weight coming from a mustang owner who would take a vette over a stang anyday. And its not like my stangs are slouches either.

There is no question Corvette's perform well, but that doesn't change the fact that most are generally nothing more than "look at me" props for aging losers that have some spending money either before being broke again at retirement, or because they saved well for retirement.

Besides, why would you want a car that ages so poorly? The C4s have awful interiors that appear to have been made for a bad talking car TV show and the C5s now look like a kids Playmobile toy.

And they keep performing better and better. What truly confuses me, all jokes aside, is why? Their target demographic is clearly defined. 60+% purchase them above the age 50, and I know from experience there are 50+ yo's at the track but not nearly as much. It's few and far between.

As a marketing major I get that you must continue to improve and move forward or you are willing to take a step back. I get that. But why focus on making it faster when a vast majority do not push it to the limits? Why not spend budget on better materials for the interior? No one questions they perform, not even spiteful magazines, but the first thing they bag on is calling it plastic fantastic. I could stand behind the car so much more than I do if they made it a well rounded and complete car. I get that it's my opinion, but why? Why not step up the game where you are constantly hounded?

Ney, C5's are teh sexxors. Still my current vette favorite.
All brands, all makes have plenty of people that don't use them to potential. Mustangs even more so, since there are TONS more of them. It's my opinion that mustang owners are the biggest Douche bags of domestic autosports. I'd really put 75% of them at ricer level.

People want to buy supercar fast, not supercar quality.

I hear this often, and I just might be alone in this category. But I don't like to buy my speed always as any car can be made to perform, but not any car can be remodeled.
