What is Vette?
1.
Short version of the Corvette.
1953-?
C5 Z/06: 1.0g skidpad stock (@ 15k less than a Porsche and 220k less than a Ferrari)
C3 ZL-1: 0-60 in 3.6 sec, 1/4-mile in 10.6 sec @ 125+ mph
2.
The shortened name for the greatest vehicle ever to roam the lands, the Corvette. A stylish blend of luxury, power, and grace, all at reasonable price (only by comparison to the likes of its competition...porsche, ferrari, viper)
I pulled up next to this hot chick in my vette the other day and looked into her car to see her fiddling her bean over me and my hot ride! I told her it was ok to join me in my vette, so she did, and we banged.

Short name for the Chevy Corvette. Made from 1953 to now. Has and has always had incredible handling, on par with most European sports cars. Same goes for acceleration, only better. The 1990-95 ZR-1 Corvette, complete with a 405hp 5.7-liter overhead cam V8, could pull OVER 1.0g on the skidpad... completely stock. The 1969 aluminum-engined ZL-1 featured 50/50 weight distribtion and it's L88-based 427 V8 produced over 450hp at the wheels. It could hit 60mph in the high 3-second range and could run the 1/4-mile in 10.5 @ 133mph; the only mod being drag slicks, which, I'd like to point out, are inferior to modern racing tires. With modern tires... Who knows? The ZL-1 could top over 180mph with proper gearing and could pull about 0.94g on the skidpad. Not bad, for 1969.
I knew this guy who had a '71 ZR-2 Corvette. That thing got to 60mph in 5 seconds flat, thanks to it's 425hp LS6 V8 engine. It could also take the corners with the best of them.
One last thing, in 1973 Car&Driver compared a Jag, a Ferrari, a Porsche, and a Mercedes. The 'Vette out-ran, out-cornered, and out-brake them all.

A car designed by a guy who has won some very prestigous European races and was good enough for the likes of such people as Buggati and Ferdinand Porsche. Zora Arkus-Duntov.
The 'Vette has won LeMans a few good times over the years. The 'Vette ZL-1 is also one of the fastest cars ever made. The '06 Z/06 will be one of the best handling cars in the world. Plus, it will cost 1/5th that of a base model Ferrari. Now, I only make $80k a year, so it is much more in my price range. I could get a marginally-better performing Ferrari, Porsche, or Lambo if I won the lottery, seeing as the cost 225k, but I doubt that'll happen so I'll stick with a tried & true sports car classic that pulls 0.97g on the skid pad stock and gets to 60 in the low 4-second range.

Short For Corvette, The BEST Car in the Universe period.
A Lingenfelter Corvette can do 300MPH and still cost less than a stock european sports car.

let's straighten out all you unknowlegable
First off, the vette has and always will have an amazing suspenion. the c5 z06 pulled a full 1.0g on the skid pad stock.
Secondly the vette is fast in a straight line as well, it can run an 11.6 in the quarter mile stock.
now that you have all been enlightened a little bit, go buy a vette, then judge it.
"Wow that vette hadles the turns like no car i have ever seen."
"The full 1.0g and 51/49 balance are probably why"
"but damn it's fast in the quarter mile too"
"a vette is a well rounded car"
7.
A Chevette. When someone scratches out the first three letters of the word Chevette on their car as if to make up for their small penis.
Dude, check out my Vette.
