Given the choice between a Viper and LaFerrari, which would you choose? Do you see a Buick sports car, the healthiest of GMs brands? Where is Fords' sports car? I am afraid they will become the province of the affluent with the little guys looking for used sports cars that we can modify, hey, that's the Crossfire!
This from a guy who thinks the solstice/sky were based on a vette chassis LOL Have you seen a solstice?
GM Kappa platform (also used in a Daewoo, not a vette)
a viper is nearly twice what a corvette costs, they are not even close on a race track, unless you compare the ZR-1, which is about the same price as a viper
