corvettes are nothing but cheap fiber glass body with big engine cars. they have no soul they have nothing else.
and they're not expensive either, but I guess that'swhat happens when the build quality is so low.

BRZ's are fun and gorgeous cars.

it's nothing but personal preference.


Something that beats supercars for 1/2, 1/3, or 1/5th the price has to make some concessions somewhere. They also haven't been fiberglass for 2 generations. As for the soul every corvette I've been in has tried to talk to me.

they have to compromise somewhere. they cant build ferrari quaility, compete with them and still be a fraction of their price.

even if the brz is made of slightly higher quality materials (which i can tell you its not). it does not even perform close to what a corvette does, it does not respond to mods as well as the corvette does. when you can show me a 700hp+ DD that is reliable from a BRZ i will agree with you. until then please dont make assertions that you cant back up.
oh and they havent made fiberglass corvettes in like 15-20 years.

No... not even close


The C6 (non-Z06 model) body is made of five distinct plastic materials, all of which are technologically advanced and chosen for their particular application on the car

polyurethane (rear fascia and grill)

polyester (hood, doors, and hatch lid)

SMC or sheet molding compound, which is a thermoset fiberglass (rear fenders)

mica-reinforced reaction injection molding (RRIM) (front fenders)polycarbonate (targa top on the coupe)



And more




"Plastic" is a poor generalization for the RRIM and SMC panels in use on the Corvette (C6 and also C5).Reinforced RIM (RRIM)Short glass fibers or mineral fillers (mica, wollastonite and others) can be added to the polyol blend to produce reinforced RIM (RRIM) parts with enhanced stiffness and heat performance. A high-quality surface finish also is possible with RRIM parts, which are relatively easy to paint. This process is used most frequently to produce automotive exterior parts, from body panels to fascia to side moldings.SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) and BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) are fibre reinforced composite materials which primarily consist of inorganic ingredients. The organic plastics content is less than 30 per cent by weight: unsaturated polyester resin, a thermosetting resin, which cures by means of a cross-linking reaction. Fibre glass reinforcement guarantee superior mechanical properties. Additional additives like low-profile components, fillers, release agents, catalyst, process additives etc. are used to enhance the performance or processing of the material.
