I think it is currently the longest-running nameplate that is still in production (constant production), uses an engine design that dates back to 1955, and there are those leaf-springs...
The Corvette is what it is, an American icon, if Europe or Asia likes it or not. It is cheap, fast, and looks damn good. Thats why it is probably my favorite car as only the Camaro and the Jaguar XKE come close.

FWD Alfa?
Blech.
About those CGT times, where are they from?
I've never seen a CGT crack off less than a 3.7 0-60 run, much less a sub 11.5 1/4, and the weights I've seen listed for the CGT and Z06 were varying by a couple poinds, not 100 Kg.
Was the CGT stripped out before the test?
Cause, that would be just a little biased, dontcha think?

people don't dismiss the vette because it doesn't have soul..
it's because like so many other cars, you see about 15-20 of them on any given day...No not z06's..but C6's in general.....Same for C5's....
Rarity plays a large part in people "liking a car"...And the fact that a z06 looks 90% identical to the base C6(and not many people can tell the difference) but it costs 70,000 dollars...

Not so much here, but if you visit other boards, you'll see it a LOT.
Corvettes are pretty rare here. I live in Ohio, and I've only ever seen ONE C6, a base model. I've seen a few more C5s, but never 15-20 on one day.
BX: Ah. Still tied for sports car longevity, however. 👍

No, you miss the point of the question.
You said that people are dismissive of it because it is so common. Earlier in the thread someone said that it's "(mostly Europeans)" who are dismissive of it. I don't see how both statements can be true simultaneously - though I appreciate that only one of the statements is yours.

I'd take the Corvette, and it's not just from brand loyalty. It's cheaper than many of the other options, meaning you have more money to keep for maintenance. It'll also outperform a lot of them, which (as I've already said) I consider a major factor in buying a sports car. The customized car is probably the only option with the potential to be faster AND cheaper. The problem with a custom job is the fact that you run the risk of a voided warranty. So if something breaks down, it may be tougher to get it fixed.
