Ferrari all the way, It's not like the Corvette sucks, because it doesn't, it's just always going to be a poor man's Ferrari. And quite frankly there's nothing special about owning a Corvette it's not an exclusive vehicle. Anyone can go a get one if they even give a slight damn about being a success.
Just my opinion not bashing the Corvette cause it's still a great car.

In short 12 Cylinders just because, there is no reason other than because they can!
Yea, that basically sums it up, because they can!

I'm an engineer, so I think it is dumb, but then again, I am not "burdened" with the resources to entertain the thought of buying a $300k car. Not too many engineers buying those cars.
I'm studying to be an engineering! I guess it is more of an iconic thing.
