learn to substantiate. I'm not only referring to your completely off topic convo with RC45 but also in regards to the Vette.

"worthless corvette" . . .

lacking in performance: no
lacking in price: well priced compared to other cars of similar spec but by no means cheap
rapidly depreciates: considering only 3k a year are made, again, no.
lacking in interior quality: it's not a ferrari but it's still not lacking. If you want nice and cushy, go sit on a couch.
lacking in everyday road manners: somewhat but who cares, you can take 99.99% of anything and everything on the road and the car sounds magnificent

Damn this thread is messed up!

C6 Z06 is cool in my book. Kinda plastic but the bang for buck makes up for that.

Different tastes for different people...

There's been some pretty amusing votes on many of the cars in the cool wall section. I personally don't know how some people were able to put "seriously uncool" on some of the cars in there. Most of the time it's just hate against a certain car manufacturer, and the fact that the person probably has never even sat inside the aforementioned vehicle doesn't help. For example, someone gave seriously uncool for the Vanquish. I bet they probably haven't even driven one. I have, and I think the car is very, VERY nice. Somewhere in between subzero and cool.

^
Different taste is one thing. Being a hater is just a shame. I admit I love Mercedes because I have grown up with that brand but I'm definetely not a blind fanatic. Even if I'm not in the market for a Vette, I'm (like most people) open enough to see that it's a pretty cool car.

not SZ probably but damn cool it is

RC and Everso - you guys should meet and beat up eachother than it will be peace on JW.
Btw Everso admit you are a bit biased - any BMW or Vette is utter crap for you and every audi is the best car in the world I dont have a problem with that its your opinion even if it is biased

But that's the problem, seems like all too many people are not open like this.

I wished they'd bring back something like the 1987 Corvette back. That design was close to subzero.

For me, Subzero would be the C2 Sting Ray and the C3 Design. Love the lines and the flow of the C3.

Agreed. I don't really care where the car comes from or who makes it, if its cool then its cool. Having brand loyalty is one thing, but having blind opinions is another.

^Well, to some people, brand loyalty is (regrettably) taken too far. They think that everything from their favourite maker is cool and everything else is rubbish.

Amazing how this shit just keeps going on and on and on..

I vote sub zero, the C6 Z06 is one of my dream cars, up there with Porsche and Ferrari.

i first wanted to vote "uncool" because imo this car isn't "cool" by my definitions. but then i had to consider a few things and i made up my mind.

the C6 Z06 is cool for what it is, many other users have already made fine lists with all it's abilities so i am not going to dwell on that.

it could never be SZ for me. that place would be reserved for the C6 R. but then again that model isn't a roadgoing car
