while these cars may have the performance of many if not most supercars, neither of these cars IMO will have the prestige (for lack of a better word) of a lambo or a ferrari...
sure when you pull up somewhere people are going to take notice to either ride, but at the end of the day, the dude that rolls up in the lp640 is going to be the talk of the country club instead of the chevy or nissan driver.
to car guys, these cars are attainable, feasible, and have the utmost performance one could desire in a stock car. to supercar buyers, they are merely the "srt's, svt's, or ss's" of the supercar world.do not get me wrong, because that is going to be the main buyer, but at the same time, these are going to be owned and driven by the guy who has the lambos and ferraris occuppying the same garage, and cherished and loved by the people who own the chevy or nissan as their main pride and joy.
I think to the main people that actually drive the shit outta these cars Prestige doesn't really matter. If i get a corvette that can beat out a car thats 3-4x more money i'll praise it for what it is, a fucking awesome corvette.
Lambos and Ferraris are the Dream of every car fan and the attainable to few, Corvettes and GTRs will be the reality for a lot more.
