I actually owned 2 Vipers before precisely because they weren't Corvettes. Don;t get me wrong, the Corvette is an insane performance machine but I get more comments and looks from the Camaro, especially from younger folks than my father ever got in his cheesy Corvettes and I ever got in my Vipers. I think the future is LT5 Camaro. I would keep my 18' ZL1 but if an LT5 Camaro comes out, instant trade! But I won't go Corvette. Chevy needs to pay attention to this buyer segment.

I’m gen x too, and this precisely sums up how I feel about the vette. It’s just got a ‘old man’ stigma to me. So I chose a viper and a zl1 instead. There’s never been a single moment in my life where I thought I wanted a vette.
