Considering the fact that they have the same engine and rival HP, why do people diss the Trans am and praise the Corvette? The top trim Firehawk Trans am outperformed the Corvette, for thousands cheaper. Yes the Corvette is faster and nimbler on average, but much more expensive. With the Corvette you are essentially buying the name. What about the Corvette makes people love them so much more than a car of equal stature? And don't get me wrong, I love Corvettes.
