Perhaps you can explain why in your opinion a Corvette is NOT a sports car, while a MR2 is. Now we don't build many sportscars here in the states, but a 'vette must certainly rank among them. While I don't care for them personally, there are a lot of Porshe drivers who have eaten crow in the hills around here challanging 'vettes made after 1982. tim o'brien |
