I wouldn't be at all surprised if GM went this route with the 50th anniversary 'Vette and I would applaud it as well as respect it. I mean, who doesn't respect 500+ HP in a street car?

Unfortunately, this kind of 'Vette falls into the 'Exotic' car class and is usually far beyond the reach of the average performance-lovers price range.
So, mostly middle-aged fat cats buy them and they never race or even appreciate what they have. A shame but then, how many younger guys do you see in 'regular' late-model 'Vettes?

That's what makes the Mustang such a great car...affordable power and style for the price of a Honda Accord. That was the whole point of the original Mustang concept in '64 and it still holds true today. Sure, I'll admire and respect a 427/500HP Corvette but I prefer to drive a Ford Mustang.
