There are lots of things you have to think about though. The Civic guy LIVES for the drag race. The Corvette people just want a fast good looking American muscle car *grunt grunt*
The Corvette rides around in style catching looks, while the Civic can be a bit uncomfortable and tends to attract a lower mental capacity.
Personally, I don't want either one. The "riced" Civic is too small and requires too much work, and the Corvette is a boat with a big engine. I want something from the middle like an RX-7, S2000, 3000GT or Z300/350. These are the cars that are "Fun to drive"

Loud: True. And you also have to consider that not everyone who has a fast car knows how to drive it. I think it's pretty clear that the Corvette guy was pretty clueless to how to launch his car.
Where I live, anyway, there seems to be a lot of examples of people who can't handle their cars, particularly with Corvettes. My guess is it's probably simply that the Corvette is one of the most affordable examples of a car which has capabilites far exceeding a lot of drivers.
For example, about a year ago, a guy around here decided to take his new Vette out to see what it would do. He found out. He also seems to have found out that no car handles a hard uphill turn very well at around 140MPH. He wound up putting his new car through a billboard at top of the hill (The billboard was only a few feet off the ground; not one of those two-story jobs).
Either that or people forget the laws of physics or something.
And, to be honest, I don't want a Corvette or Civic, either. I'd rather have an S2000 or, should I get more money than I know what to do with, an NSX. The RX-8 looks pretty interesting, too. (I'd consider the 350Z, but I've had a couple of Nissans. Very good cars, but not great.)
Kind of a rambling post, but what the 'ell.
