The Cayman has always been one of my favorite cars (obvious is obvious). The chassis is still one of the best on the planet, but I never believed the 718 warranted its price.
Now with this new Corvette release, Porsche looks like their hands got caught in the cookie jar.
Even with comparable options or pricing, or the talk of fit-and-finish, there is no avoiding this:
a mid engine NA V8 vs a mid engine 4cyl turbo.
These two engines are the antithesis of each other. Yes, electric sports cars are inevitable, but kudos to Chevy for holding on to this dinosaur engine. And when I mean dinosaur, I mean a T. Rex.
Everyone here knows Porsche makes fantastic cars, but I am very glad to see Chevy come out with this and hopefully shake things up in the sports car industry. It is good for all us enthusiasts, whether you love the new C8 or can't stand it.
Now bring on the Z06 (without the overheating).
