Disclaimer: The first and last Corvette I owned was a 1956. (Don't I wish I had
that back?)
That said, what's your issue with Corvette owners? The new Sting Ray will blow
the doors off exotics costing many times what it costs and get better fuel
mileage than some "economy" cars while doing it, and costing little more than
some boring mid-sized sedans or SUVs.

From edmunds.com:
"You can also see the average miles per gallon figure, which was achieved on
91-octane fuel, and with judicious use of cruise control and seventh gear. I
did drive all day Sunday from Kansas City to Detroit (about 750 miles) in
Economy mode, which seamlessly deactivates four of the engine's eight
cylinders when their performance is not needed. That day I averaged over 29
mpg. Like I said, amazing. I wish I had used that technology throughout the
trip."
One could easily argue that the Corvette is the K3 of the automobile world.

W8JI found that 5 out of 5 on eham does not mean much.
SPE 2k owners are like in a Corvette club: they bought it mostly because
they have money and they want the most expensive stuff. Most seem to be
ignorant and afraid of saying one slightest criticism.
With small modifications, 2k-fa can be great, but SPE is no Elecraft.
