Most corvette owners and drivers are rednecks, it is a capable car that is priced low enough that anyone whose worked a decent job 2 years can afford to finance one, I live in southeast missouri, and they are like camaros here there are no less than 8 c6 Z06's here, 10 or more c6 regular models, a crapload of c5's, a 850rwhp c5 with weight reduction full carbon front end and other goodies, so here they are like camaros, and point of fact the camaro SS can make a vette look real bad if the purchaser also orders the GM performance option when buying a SS otherwise its a souped z28, that pack helps a lot, my buddy had that option and he ate several vettes. And a mk3 wouldn't stand a chance, why well because its 2 decades behind the automotive times and thats like 50 years in any other field of growth, we have a few faults, heavy azz car, underpowered engine that takes more money to prep for high boost than to buy the parts for making that boost, and old design, If I went american I'd get maybe an SRT 10 viper, Saleen S7, or a classic Buick GNX yea it may not handle but the GNX will eat vettes at the strip all day long.
