      okay, I admit it - I've been a Euro snob most of my life when it comes to high line and high performance cars.

      Driving, REAL driving, is more than going quick in a straight line...

      BUT...

      POWER!

      road holding and handling dynamics

      Did I mention POWER?

      The Vettes since the C-05 have been awfully tempting on paper, and yes, they more than live up to the hype.

      Bone jarring - more so than the Ferrari 430 - when the roads are anything but glass smooth, even in touring mode, and it does transmit lots of road noise.

      The seats are a pleasure...

      The paddle shifters lag generations behind the 430 shifters but in auto mode is far more pleasant.

      All in all a real contender even with no pricing consideration, but throw in value for money, a true world beater.

      Yep, another untested assumption shaped by prejudice and other people's opinions blown to bits after personal hands on experience...

      (I don't really trust the electric door releases even on the inside...give me pure mechanical linkages anyday...)
