Have you had any test drives in a Corvette, Badhobz?
I've only driven a C5, but have sat in multiple C6, C7 that were driven in anger (at autox / track). The power / torque from the monster engines is totally insane, and ranks right up there with any other legitimate supercar. However, I found the engine characteristic to not really be my cup of tea.
It's really quite odd to describe. I like my cars to be responsive to my inputs, and I am not saying the Corvette is dull or slow with responses, but the engine, in particular, somehow seems lazy to me even though it will deliver brutal bouts of tractable power on command.
As a result of this behaviour, I like and have tremendous respect for those Corvettes, but I can't find myself loving them.
