In terms of american sports cars, is the Chevrolet Corvette any good

Probably not. My experience goes back to the '60s and SCCA races at
Limerock. The Corvettes rules the straights but would get passed by Minis
in the corners.

I looked at a Stingray from that era. I had a AH Sprite rollerskate which
was one of the smallest cars on the road. I found it more comfortable than
the huge Stingray, although entry/exit was interesting.

Corvettes have improved a lot since then but given the choice I'd go with
a 911.
