[QUOTE="si|verfish, post: 1178955, member: 2758"] That's not right. I assume people who buy supercars to be big car fans. They know their cars (ignoring the rich posers of course). They love cars. And if they love their cars they'll know the Ford GT is special, it is a great car. It is also limited, which makes it even more special. Those cars are going to fetch a big price in the second hand market. But I agree that most buyers of this type would plonk their money on the Ferraris and the Lamborghinis of this world. Only some enthusiasts with a lot of love for American cars would appreciate muscle cars. It is all about the drama and the image of such cars. It is also true that European supercars (make that all cars) are better in many ways. Especially in the area of handling and quality. Which is also a reason why them Corvettes are so cheap (relatively). And they are starting to work out the handling part of it, like I've mentioned earlier. The interior is still cheap plasticky rubbish though. Side note: The Z06 is one scary machine, watch out for it smoking the Europeans out. Anyway, what the Big 3 fail to do, the rest of the great American people manage to sort out. There are plenty of tuners and small volume manufacturers that produce great replicas of old muscle cars or even new supercars. Especially love the Shelby's they completely reproduce. With great interiors, top aftermarket parts, a lot of snorting wild west horses and of course all that 60's style. [/QUOTE]
