If I wanted a great performing all-rounder, the BMW M3 is a no brainer. That leaves little room for the 'vette, which is no doubt a great vehicle.
I'll give pony cars one more chance in a month when we go to Florida. I've reserved a Mustang from Hertz, and although it's more than likely we'll get the oversized V6, I'll see how the solid rear axle on that works. (Yet another "dated" suspension system)

a v6 mustang, bought new or from hertz is not comparable to a vette.... the body roll on the stangs is significant, the interior is nowhere near a vette. In fact comparing a mustang to a vette and then coming to a comprehensive all encompassing conclusion on "pony cars" is naive. It would be like going to see the Scranton Yankees and developing an opinion on the NY Yankees.
I mitsu evo, m3 and vette (z06) as track cars are all COMPLETELY different animals... to each their own, but you're comparing apples to oranges, big time.
