I have only owned one Corvette. The 1981 that my first wife convinced me we needed. It got driven a little on weekends and went on a few short trips, and one to Galveston and back, that convinced me it needed to be sold or traded. Rest of the time it spent in the garage covered up. Yeah, it was fast, it handled and braked quite well, but I really hated that car for some reason. Might have been that it was just so uncomfortable to drive.
We kept it for less than a year, sold it for more than I paid for to someone who thought, she just had to have it! It was a beautiful Corvette, with a black exterior and red interior, T-Tops, CenterLine rims on it. The previous owner had hopped up the engine a bit, so it wasn't a slouch either. But it was just damned uncomfortable to drive or ride in for more than just short trips into town. I ended up after selling it buying a 1989 Chrysler Conquest TSI. Now I really enjoyed that car.
I like the looks of the new Corvette, but looking at it, it doesn't speak to me and say it's a Corvette.
If I were going to buy a new muscle-car, it would be probably a Mustang, or a Challenger.
