I mean lets be honest.
The gm corvette is not a sports car, its a lifestyle car, with sporty styling.
Most people just call them hairdressers cars.

Br/o/.
Listen up.
My family has been here since the early 1700's, I'm so white that if I took my shirt off, it would be like staring into the sun at noon.
So trust me when I say that none of us are looking for 20yr old Corvettes ffs.

>>28639092
Ok, then give me money for a manual C7 GS

>A car considered to be "a sports-car years ahead of its time" is the 1903 Mercedes Simplex 60 hp, described at the time as a fast touring car and designed by Wilhelm Maybach and Paul Daimler. The Mercedes included pioneering features such as a pressed-steel chassis, a gated 4-speed transmission, pushrod-actuated overhead inlet valves, a honeycomb radiator, low-tension magneto ignition, a long wheelbase, a low center of mass and a very effective suspension system. The overall result was a "safe and well-balanced machine" with a higher performance than any other contemporary production car. At the 1903 Gordon Bennett Cup, a production Simplex 60 hp was entered only due to a specially built 90 hp racing car being destroyed in a fire; the 60 hp famously went on to win the race.

>The ancestor of all high-performance cars had its origin in Germany. The 28-h.p. Cannstatt-Daimler racing car of 1899 was without a doubt the first attempt to give real performance to a road car. Many of its features, such as a honeycomb radiator and gate gear change, were continued on the much improved version which Paul Daimler designed in 1899-1900. This was of course the famous Mercedes. It also laid down standards of chassis design which were to be followed, almost unthinkingly, for the next thirty years. Several variants of the car appeared during the next year or two, all conforming to the same basic design and earning for themselves a reputation second to none for fast and reliable travel. The 60-h.p. cars were announced late in 1902. The cars were possessed of a very real performance superior to anything else which could be bought at the time... and the model achieved an almost invincible position among the fast cars of its day.

The first cars in the world to ever be called sports cars were road-going touring cars designed to have higher performance than other road-going cars, which is the definitional archetype. The corvette is a sports car.

>Wall of cope
The gm corvette is definitely not a sports car, as its not designed purely for sports use.
Its really simple, the clue is in the name.
Anything else you say is cope, so accept it and remain silent.

>>28639809
Salty that your grocery getter is not a real sports car, even with its sporty styling?

Lack of taste then.

The term "sports car" is based on the English saying of doing something for sport. Pretty much something unnecessary, but enjoyable for one reason or another. Usually this means cars that aren't necessarily practical for every day use, but fun to drive ; a weekend car. You've conflated it with the American idea of spectator or professional "sports", which is an entirely different concept. That comparison only really holds water for cars being advertised as Race Cars. On which case you would be right to criticize them, as they're definitely not made for race use. But I've also very rarely, if ever, seen cars marketed as proper racing/track tools.

I prefer port injection without the egr and other useless emissions stuff, and round taillights of course.
>>
>>28639129
Why are you posting a picture of the car you drive irl without paper proof?
>>
>>28640056
Round taillights are indeed better than whatever they've got going on now. Still not sure why they did away with that iconic aspect of the car.

You are still incorrect.
The gm corvette is not a sports car.
>Glovebox
>Stereo
>Cupholders
>Lipstick holders

Theres a reason everyone calls them a lifestyle car.
>>
>>28640184
I don't mind the change. The jellybean era tail lights didn't hit the same as the classic ones anyway.
>>
>>28639926


>The basis for the sports car is traced to the early 20th century touring cars and roadsters, and the term 'sports car' would not be coined until after World War One.

A sports car is a suped up touring road car. Always has been. From the very beginning to this very day. The corvette is a sports car.

You're simply wrong and the process of your thoughts are incorrect. You can feel free to stop being wrong and saying things that are wrong and start saying things that are right instead. It's much better to be right rather than wrong. Your life will improved if you let go of this foolish hubris that compels you to stick to something wrong when it flies against all reason and rationality, and start being more reasonable and rational yourself.

This is really simple.
The gm corvette is not a sports car.
Its not designed purely for sports use, its designed entirely for use on public roads, and marketed to female drivers, like a handbag.

Sports cars are designed purely for sports use.
Its simple, no matter what mental gymnastics you try to do.

I bought a C5 last month
convertible but I'm still enjoying it, I've wanted one for years and finally just said fuck it
>>
>>28640743
A professional race driver doesn't drive for sport, he drives for his job. A race car is definitionally opposite of a sports car.
>>
>>28640884
Same here, except I ended up with a C6. More electronics than I care for but it's a grand sport in such good condition. Love the shit out of it.
>>
>>28640626
Mustang isn't a sports car
Drive a Corvette C7
>>
>>28640389
I'm tired of your shit. Go look in a mirror, reflect on what a failure you are, and kill yourself. You are fundamentally unlovable, and even those who may pretend to like you just insult you behind your back. Your brain is broken in a way that cannot be fixed even with extremely strong medication.

yeah maybe in 2005. Twenty years later and its only YN driving these cars now. Then they go destroy the stupid huge rear gear differential and attempt to fix it themselves, DIY. Only to find out how expensive and impossible to source it is. What a waste.

is this still the king of C5s?
Which is worth more, the Le Mans winners or the Daytona-car that Earnhardt drove?

nigga even the Nipponese are using LS engines in THEIR sports cars

That doesnt magically transform a car into something its not.
That is a cookie cutter gm engine in everything from vans, to trucks, to hairdressers cars like the gm corvette.
