Sure, I see a few decent people in the cars, but I see more decent people in Ford Focuses.
Corvette? Middle-aged men who use it for looks.
Viper? Whitebread yuppie.

May I scream out huge generalization here? So anyone with an old muscle car is the real thing, but any one with an american current sports car is a fraud? I agree with you that V6 Camaro/Stang owners in general are not enthusiast drivers, however this turns them into every possible offensible niche there is? My personal experience has had some assholes driving said cars, but many of them are true sporting drivers.
Also, you seem to have verged a heck of a lot of every argument on what to me is a basically superficial life. You seem like you're trying too hard to impress, and in the process are stomping on anyone who isn't at the leading edge of technology/styling etc.
As for the inefficient large engine comment, do you really need that V6 in there? It could easily be argued your engine is just as inefficient, I mean, how often do you need all 270 of those horses? Sure, passing, but then why are the 300+ in Z28's and SS's and the 250+ in Mustang GT's thrown into the inefficient section? Those same cars can get amazing gas mileage depending on how they're driven, yet they are still too large and inefficient? You sound as if you're setting standards by your car, which works for you, but not for the majority of other people.
