None of the aforementioned cars look as exotic as a Vette because, well they aren't as exotic. In 2002, there were 218,525 Mustangs produced. In 2002, there were 35,767 Corvettes produced. These numbers are all inclusive of every line of each car. You won't see a Corvette as often as you see a Mustang. You also won't see a Dodge Viper as often as you see a Corvette. While I'm sure you'll try and argue that SVT production numbers are much lower than any of these, they still look 98% like the V6 Mustangs, hence the reason they don't stand out in a crowd. The only person that can truly identify a Cobra and aregular Mustang from a distance isan enthusiast. </P>

i see what you're saying, but anyone who cares about cars enough to be impressed by one will know it's a cobra. if nothing else they'll see the side emblems (leading slightly less informed people to think "clones" are cobras sometimes) and at leastthink it's one. maybe it's just me, but i clearly know the difference in cobras...it's just a better looking more refined car. there's lots of differences that practically jump off the car to tell you it's one. </P>


but if the main point you're trying to get across is that corvettes are always easily recognizable, point taken.</P>

I know the difference between those cars and its true ...</P>


a vette or especially a viper is about status and being able to afford</P>

No it's not all about money and status. There's much more than that. I currently own a modified C5 and did not buy it for status. I bought it for all around performance. There is no other factory production car that can touch it on the total performance spectrum in the $75,000 or less price range. I also love the tradition of the Vette. It has withstood 50 years and is known worldwide as "America's Sports Car." In the last 10 years or so, other players such as Dodge Ford with the GT are wanting a piece of the domestic sports car action, and currently, Ford has the top performer. The GT is way out of my price league, but it is an awesome car IMHO. I just wish they would have gone the non supercharged route. My next toy will either be a C6 Vette or a used Dodge Viper GTS. No matter what my choice is, Corvette has a name that is unparalleled. It's not always about who is the fastest in the straight line. Ferrari is a fine example of that. It's about total, all around performance.</P><edited><editID>DontEvenTry</editID><editDate>37998.0171990741</editDate></edited>

Well, as of now, I can't afford to pay more than 45K for my next car, so the C6 or Viper will most likely be used. The GT is one heck ofa car, and maybe one day I can take one off of someones hands. If I had 140k to spend on a car, it would definitely not be anything but the GT.</P>

I wish GM would supercharge a LS1, LS2, LS6, whatever, and mass produce it.....there would be no comparing to it for under 100K or so
