What a heap of over- engined under-engineered poo.

Something as common as a Sierra Cosworth would widdle all over them and go round corners as would an M3 and most of the more exotic European and Japanese cars.

Sports Car Reviews and Buying Guide:
If you ask someone in their 20's what they consider to be a "sports car" they will rattle off names like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Lotus, Maserati, and other European sports cars. Sure, those are the more exotic sports cars on the market, but for someone who grew up in the 1960's and 1970's they would consider a Corvette or other muscle cars to be "sporty" as well. Over the years sports cars have become faster, more powerful, and a lot more aerodynamic. Sports cars tend to be 2 seaters that handle really well on sharp curves and windy roads. Their looks are often more important than their reliability and horsepower is a key component that buyers are looking for. With todays environmentally conscious society, gas guzzling muscle cars are less popular while the modern sports car sells quite well. American doesn't offer many true sports cars, but the Chevrolet Corvette consistently ranks in the top sports cars per Car and Driver and Road and Track magazines. The Italian sports cars are very expensive and insuring one of those might make you rethink the whole idea

They are North American magazines - if you looked at "Autocar & Motor" "Auto Bild" etc you'd get a different perspective on greatness. Not that it's a counter argument - what you posted was valid - from a North American standpoint.

Would love to have a Mustang gt 500 fastback or some of the other greats. However, not on the back roads around where i live.... You'd end up parked up a tree.....


They simply don't do corners, or sharp ish corners anyway

In Road & Track. Don't think it's ever been much more than an 'also ran' in the European magazines over the last 20 years though.

Driving styles are different as are conditions. Our roads tend to be much narrower and twistier. We have (in western Europe) a much greater proportion of our total roads laid to tarmac than in the US and our motorways / Autostrada / Autoroutes / Autobahns tend to have higher speed limits, especially in Germany. And our fuel is a hell of a lot more expensive. So cars have developed accordingly. If I had to drive from the UK through Germany and over the Alps to Italy, I don't think a Corvette would be my choice. Cars can be very personal emotive choices can't they?

But vettes are a very good buy if you tend to lean to a sports car...handshake

BBC Top Gear reviewed them and remarked that they went round corners 'like a TVR' - a British muscle car. A rise of cornering and handling competence from the American brand, but it's not exactly up at the pinnacle like Lotus.

Absurd, the Trans Am & the Camaro are the same car.
My preferred car isn't on your teeny weeny list. In any case I already have my preferred car, it's a 1994 Mazda Miata "R" model. I affectionately refer to it as my "Garage Queen"
