Have you driven one?? There's a night and day difference. I used to think like you do until I first drove a C5 a few months ago and was just floored. I know that an inherent amount of the extra price difference is the "Corvette" name, but the engineering and technology that went into the car and the bells and whistles included with the car make it well worth it. Besides, the Vette' is a true sports car whilst our beloved F-Body cars are muscle/pony cars, and not subject to the same level of refinement or attention to detail. I didn't go looking for a Vette' simply to jump into the LS1 world. I moved to the Vette' over an LS1 WS6 because I wanted what the Corvette had to offer.
