me. I've only driven one once (a 67 Stingray) but they have always seemed either too big or overstyled (as in the 68 thru 78 or so models). Their interiors have always come up short, IMO. Build quality has always seemed mediocre. They go fast and handle fine, but they are just another Chevy to me.
But something I have noticed for years is that you rarely see Corvettes being driven even remotely fast. I've passed far more on the highway than have passed me, and I don't run all that fast--only about 75-80. I realize they are cop magnets, so it's maybe harder to drive them fast, but it also tells me that people who buy them do so to be seen as opposed to driving them. They are, to me, not a driver's car, but a posers car--"Look at me in my 'Vette!'
