Why? The Cobalt SS will top out at about $21,000. The 2003 Cavalier LS was $20,200 and sold well. The Dodge Neon SRT-4 is over $20,000 and doesn't come with simple things like full power windows, a good stereo, etc. The Cobalt SS even has leather. It's a bargain really.

You don't have to cry about it Alan, take it like a man.
Bottom line...the vette is cheaper and still won the comparo. AND it will hold it's value just as much as the porsche, not to mention it will cost alot less to fix all around.

Sure, if I put $10,000 (about the difference in price between my car new and a comparable BMW) into my suspension, I could say the same and more. In fact, i could do it with less than half that. The Caddy CTS and STS have almost ZERO wheel gap and ride better than most BMWs, IMO.

That's a matter of opinion. I feel exactly the opposite of the way you do. The GT40 was a rough, very focused car designed for a single purpose. At that, it excelled. The Corvette has excelled at much more than just being a fast car. It's also been in full production every year since it's inception. Stylewise, the GT is nothing special. Seems to me like there's no contest. But then that is just my opinion.
