And just who the f#(% are you? I'll think whatever I want of the Corvette, and I think its fugly. I also understand that a lot of 'vette owners are not happy with all the plastic in the interior. For a car that costs that much, this shouldn't be an issue. Given the choice of most any car, I'd take a BMW M5 any day (if I had the $$). Sorry, but I've never been of the opinion that the Corvette is all its cracked up to be. I'll take a $35,000 Cobra and toast your $45,000 'Vette, and still carry 2 more passengers with room for luggage. Bang-for-the-buck? That's been the Mustang's specialty for years. The 'Vette is simply a status symbol, no thanks. The Cobra looks a lot meaner, thus my appreciation for it.
