A car designed by a guy who has won some very prestigous European races and was good enough for the likes of such people as Buggati and Ferdinand Porsche. Zora Arkus-Duntov.
The 'Vette has won LeMans a few good times over the years. The 'Vette ZL-1 is also one of the fastest cars ever made. The '06 Z/06 will be one of the best handling cars in the world. Plus, it will cost 1/5th that of a base model Ferrari. Now, I only make $80k a year, so it is much more in my price range. I could get a marginally-better performing Ferrari, Porsche, or Lambo if I won the lottery, seeing as the cost 225k, but I doubt that'll happen so I'll stick with a tried & true sports car classic that pulls 0.97g on the skid pad stock and gets to 60 in the low 4-second range.

Get the vette mug.Short name for the Chevy Corvette. Made from 1953 to now. Has and has always had incredible handling, on par with most European sports cars. Same goes for acceleration, only better. The 1990-95 ZR-1 Corvette, complete with a 405hp 5.7-liter overhead cam V8, could pull OVER 1.0g on the skidpad... completely stock. The 1969 aluminum-engined ZL-1 featured 50/50 weight distribtion and it's L88-based 427 V8 produced over 450hp at the wheels. It could hit 60mph in the high 3-second range and could run the 1/4-mile in 10.5 @ 133mph; the only mod being drag slicks, which, I'd like to point out, are inferior to modern racing tires. With modern tires... Who knows? The ZL-1 could top over 180mph with proper gearing and could pull about 0.94g on the skidpad. Not bad, for 1969.
I knew this guy who had a '71 ZR-2 Corvette. That thing got to 60mph in 5 seconds flat, thanks to it's 425hp LS6 V8 engine. It could also take the corners with the best of them.
One last thing, in 1973 Car&Driver compared a Jag, a Ferrari, a Porsche, and a Mercedes. The 'Vette out-ran, out-cornered, and out-brake them all.

The best car ever produced made with an engine almost as powerful as Jesus and Chuck Norris' beard. With amazingly awesome performance and dashingly good looks, it is THE CAR OF GODS!!!!!!! No import car will ever beat it and it is way better than a mustang. It was already destined for greatness because it is American and a Chevrolet.
Honda Civic Driver: Wow, is that a Corvette?
Corvette Driver: Why yes, yes it is. Wanna race?
Honda Civic Driver: OK, lets do it. One condition tho.
Corvette Driver: What's that?
Honda Civic Driver: We go uphill, you drive backwards, and i get a three-quarters length head start.
Corvette Driver: Ok.
Narrator: Unfortunately for Mr.Civic, his VTech didn't kick because he couldn't get his car over 5000 rpms going uphill and the Corvette still won.

I pulled up next to this hot chick in my vette the other day and looked into her car to see her fiddling her bean over me and my hot ride! I told her it was ok to join me in my vette, so she did, and we banged.
