Whether any of us here buy a new Vette or not, I don't see any way this car isn't an awesome development for the enthusiast. Strong competition improves other makers products whether we individually cross shop them or not
Personally, I can't get past the old-school LS motor carry over. It's a great, reliable, supported, cam in block v8 that can take a large amount of HP, but there's no "new" excitement there for me. That said, If there's follow-on powertrain upgrades in the next year or 2, I might consider as a weekend toy
