Funny I was just thinking about this just today.
I have a 2006 GTO and thought I could get better gas mileage if I drove it like a Ford Escort.
The the right brain kicked in and said if I wanted the mileage of a Ford Escort I would have bought a Ford Escort.
So, honestly, what's the enjoyment of driving a car such as yours like a Ford Escort?
He doesn’t get as many tickets. Corvettes can get tickets sitting at stoplight. Especially red ones...
Sometimes I wonder myself. It's too low to the ground and construction zones terrify me. The front air dam has just 5 1/2 inches of ground clearance and I cannot go into parking lots with speed bumps. It is comfortable at cruise speed on the freeway and it gets almost 30 MPG on cruise. With the top off it really looks cool.
But when I go to Laguna Seca with the local club and unloose all those ponies in the straights and pull 1.5 Gs in the corners the thrill is just great. I used to get those thrills on the open highway but it has simply gotten too crowded and too many of the fellow drivers are well-intentioned amateurs. I feel safe at Laguna Seca at 140 MPH with a BMW 530i drafting me and I feel threatened on the 101 freeway at 75 with a Ford Exploder 10 feet off my rear bumper. It's a matter of trust.
