The whole Corvette thing just goes to show that Chevy is not the leader of any pack. Their 40+ year old sports division is just plain lazy. Ford and Dodge have high power supercars, and since GM can't make one, or even convert the pitifull vette into one, they quite and blame it on the government?
As Penn and Teller would Say: Bullshit!
Oh no they say, the goverment wants us to make better cars, wah wah wah, like a baby. It's tooooo hard, wah. Pull up your panties GM, you saw this coming 20 years ago (you too Ford).
For those that don't remember, I had a corvette, a 50th anniversary, and it was the second biggest piece of shit I have ever owned. Might have been ok except the Chevy dealers are useless, they won't fix anything.
