I had you pegged for a Porsche man. Well as you can tell, I'm pretty defensive about the Plastic Fantastic and have always loved them. When you say it feels like a Corvette, that's honestly good news to me.
The heart leads you in weird places sometimes. I bought a Dodge. With my own money. Never thought I'd say that.

Over here you buy a Corvette because you want one, not because it's the best dynamically, or the most practical.  Also, you may have been let out of your straitjacket long enough to hold a pen. |
That's good to hear and I'm glad that it "translates" to some people overseas. I know parts of American cars can come off as overly flashy, but it's intended to be fun. Like the snakeskin pattern in the Viper's tailights. There's no reason to do that, but it's cool. Then again, there no real reason to own a Viper.
