My 2000 S is fun to drive around town and out in the country where I live, and I like really Porsche's, but a Boxster isn't in the same class as a modern Corvette in terms of performance.
yeah, if Chevy could just figure-out how to fix the interior of the 'vette, so it doesn't feel like I'm in a pickup truck.....
they'll never truly be a world-class car until they get that sorted-out.

I love it. It really looks like a super car. I wish I could afford it.

Thats called a Porsche 911 and you will spend about 160k or so.
lol
The Corvette has to cut some corners somewhere to give you the performance of cars costing double.
For its price point Im generally fine with its interiors, last few gens anyway.
Point taken though, its a common gripe.

Agreed. When it comes to dollars per MPH, you can't beat the Corvette. When you have that much performance at that low a price, something's suffer. So it's the interior. When it comes to performance, MPH and Seconds are what count, not interiors.

Again, I'm not a Vette fan, but I'm stating the obvious.
