I am of the opinion that we are comparing apples vs. grapes here. The C-5 is a more powerful car and I think we can all agree on that. Our car the Porsche Boxster S is a better handling car. From those facts we can then compare the interiors of the cars and I believe that our car is less cheezy than the C-5. The interior is nicer and of better quality. Rides are totally different nod goes to the Porsche Boxster, but if you are looking for power the C-5 is top dog no questions asked.
I am happy that Corvette has gained racing car fame because of the factory teams which in the long run will pay off and make the Corvette much better car than it is today. Just in a few years the progress has been staggering. The Porsche marque has a history rich in racing heritage and of cars eventhough they dont't have the horses they still come in first in races. This comparison reminds me of the GT-40 which was a 7 liter monster vs the Ferrari 330 P which was about 3.3 liter. Ferrari was crushed but later adapted and kicked the GT40 butt. Guys we are not racing in Le Mans are we? What's the point. I love my car . It is freaky fast and handles like no other car I've ever had.
