I'll indulge if only to point out how incredibly faulty the OP's premises are.

a). It's VettE if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about. Otherwise, it's "Corvette". My guess, to you it would be "Mr. Corvette".
b). An Audi RS7 has 560 horsepower and goes 0-60 in under 3.3 seconds. A V6 Mustang has 305 horsepower and a 5.1 second 0-60 time. Careful with those broad generalizations.
c). "Look dopey". Who might the expert on looks be? A man who doesn't know how to spell "Vette"?
d). Seriously, dude, what are you, 16? If you are a "ladies' man", you can pick girls up in a rusty Pinto with flames painted on the side. If you need a car to help you pick up women, hookers are MUCH cheaper and come with substantially less baggage (provided you bag it).

Could you point me towards that Pinto with flames. I always like the Pinto look.
If that were true I would have to buy an Aston Martin.
If you can afford it and it doesn't swallow up who you otherwise are, then more power to you. Just remember that a tailored cheap suit is better than an expensive suit that doesn't fit right.

You are referring the the HS student/poor people Stang. BSDs get the Shelby Cobra.
The Camaro ZL1 has 580 HP and 6.2L. 20 more than the Audi RS7. The RS7 costs over 100k and the Camaro is about 57k. For about 64.5k one could buy the A7 3.0T, which has 310 HP. Between 580HP>310HP and 6.2L>3.0L. For the price of a A7, one could buy a ZL1 and and a V6 Stang (GF's Valentines Day gift) and still have money left over.
A panel van, of course. With a queen-sized mattress in the back.
Your onto something. Why not a super stretch Rolls with the same interior + a driver.

. I'm sure there's rust aplenty beyond that sexy paint.
