alot of things in life are rare...does'nt mean you get it.


American cars are better to me because they have managed to provide cars that look good and perform better alot of the times over their European counterparts in the same class of car...all while being waaaay cheaper...kinda like when motor trend compared the new 5,0 stang with the BMW M3..the 5.0 won the comaprison..and was way cheaper...but i bet you would want the M3 huh?..because it's more rare?..lol

Fwiw... those last three would absolutely destroy you on the drag strip, from a roll, top speed, braking, turning, and at a car show. You would have nothing for them.
I don't need to show you what our piles look like, you already know there is zero comparison.

You are paying for just a name, research the cars.

The zr1 would get bitch slapped by plenty of exotics, just because you don't know they exist doesn't mean its not true. Sure, it can beat quite a few exotics, but don't lump them in one group... They run from 11s@115 all the way to 9s@140+.
No matter the price tag a Corvette will never be an exotic. It would just be an overpriced Corvette.

I'm assuming you have never seen a true exotic up close and personal? Heard them in person? Etc etc.. I don't mean passed it on the road, got to check it out.

Fwiw, drilled and blotted rotors stop worse than blanks drilled blotted rotors are an appearance upgrade.

The only thing that some can't do better is straight line speed at a drag strip. And I'm talking stock versus highly modded. Even at that the higher end ones would take 95% of the cars on this board for what they are purpose built for. Finally got you to see all other aspects, you should understand this as we. Plenty of exotics would destroy most purpose built "drag cars on here"... At the same time the exotic can turn brake have 200+k interiors hand made the list goes on, and were talking stock still. THEY HAVE IT ALL AND THEN SOME!
Our cars aren't considered exotics anywhere. They are considered American muscle/pony cars, nothing more.

I love gm American muscle sports cars, I will always own one. However, I'm not ignorant enough to compare it to an exotic for any reason. At the end of the day, Im still in a trans am. I ha e a purpose built car that can beat some low end exotics at the one thing my car Is built for, EVERYTHING else, I get waxed.
