Fact is that the corvette is only good value when it comes for straight line power vs pricetag... It dosent have unique styling even from its previous model, it has an interior of questionable quality and little innovation.

corvette= wipe your ass in fiber glass.
i've drivin plenty of C4's and a few C5's and corvettes are the suck. they are crude and the build quality still isn't any better then a 80's japanese car. my 87 supra turbo had less rattles than my moms 96 corvette. they have the same door handles as a cavalier. i mean come on what a POS. ofcoarse that goes for any American built car. the build quality and the technology just isn't up to par with the rest of the world.
that video just told it how it really is.

Personally, I thought the guy was gonna start crying.

did anyone catch how much all the cars went for? the vette was the cheapest one out there and it still ran with the others. im sure if you took the difference and put it into the vette there would be no contest.

That was the funniest car video ever! Those guys are really witty! I bet they would be fun to drink with and talk about cars. I love the part where he compares the leafspring suspension to a "medieval ox car." 
Best car video ever, hands down. They still recognized it as a decent car though. If money was no object, I too would snob the Vette but its beauty is that it offers Porsche performance that the many more people can afford.
