The Corvette. When this car first came out it was only to look like a sporty car but the only thing it did was handle sporty (for its time) it only had a straight six engine and two speed auto or three speed stick. GM was trying to compete with the European market that's why it didn't have any go power. Back when this car was new A lot of Americans where starting to buy small European sports cars so GM saw this opportunity to compete with them and that's when the need for the Corvette Arose.

The first one was produced in Flint, MI and then St. Louis at a truck assembly plant. Now it is one of the 2 cars that roll off the 3 lines at Bowling Green, KY. The latest versions of All American Sports Car are the C6 and ZO6...both Corvettes. The other car from Bowling Green? ...fast and luxurious Cadillac XLR.

Well I'm probably the only person in the country who doesn't really care for them, but I have to admit the "first" real American sports car was (and is) the Corvette. The Dodge Viper is about the only other U.S. competition against it. But there is a true difference between "sports car" and "muscle car" so all you other gearheads out there don't start comparing apples to oranges. The Mustang, Firebird, Camaro, and all the Detroit iron from the 60's & 70's aren't in the same classification. Yeah they were fast and could probably outrun the Vette, but put them on an race track or send them through the slalom and the Vette would waste them. The handling of those old muscle cars is about as stable as plate of jell-o.

the yankee machismo (the "manly" attitude) sez its a chick motor vehicle. yet authentic-blue open-minded motor vehicle followers call the MX-5 a motor vehicle that has severe performance for an really functional cost. The Miata's worry-free variety is lovable. gown it up properly so it would appear as if something it really is definetely exciting to race or rigidity in. P.S. IMO, Miatas seem cooler with the pop-out headlamps and matching "angel eye" lights.
