So I guess the next logical question is: What exactly impresses you about the SL65 that the Vette doesn't do better? (apart from 'just coz it's a Mercedes') [honest question, not being defensive of the Vette] Also, do you have a similar viewpoint with the Cadillac CTS-V ?

See you all are getting all into the mechanics of the two. I'm not even debating about that. I am talking about general looks and background. I don't like the Corvette. The bland look and the basic interior just isn't my "cup of tea". Not even about brand, if that is what your thinking. Matter of fact the Camaro is a Chevy and I love it.

| Fair enough...and thank you for explaining that HoH. The reason why I enquired about your distaste of the Vette was simply because nearly everybody on this forum (and the motoring public in general) has been very impressed with the Vette... even the Europeans (that says a LOT!!)... so I was curious as to why you shut the car down without an ounce of due credit. I've never been much of a Corvette fan, much like I'm not much of a Porsche fan.... but it's definitely been a huge suprise seeing what GM has been able to create in the form of this new Vette,...but much like klier's post, there's just something about the Vette which doesn't make it 'something special'..very much unlike the Nissan GT-R which instantly grabs my attention. Hard to explain why the Vette isn't as captivating...but nonetheless, huge kudos to Vette and its creators!

| I think I would have gone for the SL63 before both the ZR1 and the SL65.
