As I expected, the Porsche comes in last. Writers love them but they just don't stir the heart like the other two.

Play back some V12 audio files on the C7's Bose system - problem solved.

Would certainly be less expensive than picking up an F12.

The F12 is too heavy and too ugly. The Porsche just looks boring to me. C7 all the way

Gotta love the sound of the V12, sweet! But the best thing is that the Corvette is winning in the poll! If this doesn't make GM happy then they just better quit making sports cars, they really did their homework. Glad to be a Corvette owner. Keep waving, peeps!

Anyone who said they would have the C7 over the F12 is drunk as f*ck. Lets get real here chaps, even though the c7 is a beast for what it is, the 'rari is a whole other level.

It asked what would like to drive. Said Porsche. That is what would buy.

Corvette is going drive very similar to a C6. So blah blah blah on driving it.
Probably only reason its getting high score is many feel its the cheap one
they could possibly afford.

I respect your opinion but you awfully sound condescending.

The Ferrari is too ostentatious and I don't even think it's very good looking. 355 is the only Ferrari I could see myself driving. If we have to play that tired game though, I'll bite, "I'd take the Ferrari and then sell it and buy 8 Corvettes".... better?

There's a specialness involved with driving Ferraris that's hard to put on paper. I would venture to guess most have never been behind the wheel to draw a conclusion based on actual experience. So saying you dont like Ferrari's while never being behind the wheel of one to see what makes them the "gold standard" is ignorant. That's like a ford fiesta driver telling you, "eh, i'd never drive a corvette, it's an overpriced pos, i dont know what the hype is". Of course you dont know what the hype is, you've never been in one in your life. Everyone is entitled to their opinion however.
