If by "sports car" you mean one that requires ten hours garage time for every hour on the road, you're right. I put myself through college thanks to the reliability of British Leyland products. But I do love them in spite of themselves.
North American geography and it's roads have defined sports cars much differently than in Europe.
When you consider the current 'vette matches the performance of European and Japanese cars costing twice as much, I'd say the Chevy accomplished exactly what they set out to do. My only regret is GM did not follow through on the original plan to make the Corvette into a lighter weight mid-engine car a few years ago.
