Here's the latest award, the "2nd Best Sports car Ever," from CNBC.
No surprise that the Porsche 911 was considered the Best. To be just behind, and we are talking about the last fifty years, not comparing the new StingRay to the new 911 (as we are seeing the current comparison almost always favoring the StingRay), is one heck of an honor.

To quote CNBC:
"#2. Chevrolet Corvette
It may be hard to believe, but the Corvette has been in an almost constant production for more than 60 years.
As a result, said Brauer, it wears the mantle of "America's Sports Car" and should be used in the same breath with "baseball" and "apple pie" when speaking of uniquely American products.
"Now in its seventh generation, the Corvette has always offered a high degree of performance at a remarkably low price," he said. "While never considered an 'exotic car' the Corvette has often been described as an 'exotic car slayer,' because it effectively competes with sports cars costing two to five times as much."
