However the Camaro is available with the 1LE package for all 3 engine choices. You've got your base 1LE, SS 1LE, & ZL1 1LE. (personally I'd argue the base isn't a sports car, but would argue anything else is). And the Corvette is available with 3 different engines and 2 body styles (regular and widebody). Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06 & ZR1. Compared to Toyota, which is 1 car with only one available configuration. About to be 2 with the Supra (with possibly 2 engines). That's basically my point. And I'll say it again I am not a domestic apologist.

Sports cars? Nah. As for my original remark about decades, I'm just amused by how the mid-engine Corvette has been shown in some form or another, probably longer than I've been alive - and yet I don't see the same criticism as I do with the (admittedly long) Supra reveal. Although @Dadhawk has a point that we haven't been inundated with camo pics of the Corvette like we have for the Supra* *Yet. |

Hardly anything in that list to apologize for, at least not in the recent generations (well, except maybe the Camaro low-end....).

No car should have such paltry power. It needs at least double that and be able to reach 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Otherwise the car is SLOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW |
