RE: Porsche 911 beats out 'Vette and Viper
I do not know about the new Corvette but in previous years, Corvettes have always had reliablility issues.
Hence one of the reason the resale drops so fast unlike a Porsche.

I guess I should have clarified that I never meant to say that the Corvette is reliable. I know the Corvette has a bad reputation. If they are having problems with the Z06 engine, I won't be surprised. The 7.0L has a 11.0 or 11.1 to 1 compression which is super high espically for a all-aluminum engine. What problems do they normally have with the Corvette?

I would take a Porsche over a corvette anyday. Not that I don't think corvettes are a cool car, but the porsche is just a beautiful car.

I won't deny that they are beautiful. I just prefer domestic muscle. Always have, always will.

use too much plastic in the interior and it looks too cheesy.

The interior is cheap but I'm not surprised. Despite the fact that it is sometimes matched up against luxury cars like the ones listed, people have to remember the simple fact. It is only a Chevrolet. I think that GM should have given the Corvette to Pontiac back when they first conceived the idea.
If you ask me, it is a muscle car heritage name that is in a sports car package. What systems specifically were the problem? Was it the engine or what that was the problem.

the viper was the fastest, yet its second to last?

However, this is the only outlet that is declaring that the Viper is faster and quite frankly some of those other outlets numbers seem like they've been doctored; therefore, I going to give CR credit for that.

Well the way I see it, performance is all I expect from a Viper because that is all its about; however, some of these Mercedes coupes and convertibles are anything but comfortable. So I guess it depends on what you value. It seems to me that CR always compare every car to a Lexus no matter what class it is in. Their top priority seems like it is comfort and their last priority is performance, and in a supercar, Performance comes first.
