This is the current gen NSX though in many other ways. I wish Honda/Acura did something similiar instead of chasing after 570 crowd which they can't win. |

I want the C8 to sell well, only for the fact that BMW either needs to lower their base price on the M2/M4 (not very likely) or to offer more options as standard to lure people to them (probably not likely as well)

If you buy or don't buy a car on image and perception, then you might have more pressing issues than picking a new car.

Ignoring the looks and perception of a car ignores the entire reasons some of the greatest cars were ever made. And how do you even define a true performance car enthusiast? Because I know tons of guys that would fit that category to me that would never own a corvette and tons of others that would never own a Porsche. So I'm curious what you think this objective criteria looks like?

Seriously, I don't dispute all/most of your statements. I'm not a Chevy or BMW fanboy (the M2c being my first, and likely last BMW unless they quit adding weight and nonsense to all of their cars)...rather, it's the experience for me at this point. If I scrape together the time and money to do that resto-mod I've been lusting after, an LS is 100% a potential power source. I'd also like to see how the GT500 plays out and its viability as a crate motor. Would i consider BMW, VW/Audi or any "modern" ish engine? No way in hell for many reasons you mention, and then some. |

And for those of you bashing the quality of the Corvette check this out. M2C with O2 CEL before it drove out of the showroom.

While the Corvettes have been generally reliable, Chevy is also facing multiple high profile class action lawsuits right now specifically about the C7 Corvette's defects/unreliability. How would you like your wheels cracking by just driving them? For the people who hate on Chevy quality on current C7s and Camaros, hasn't been in one. They are night and day better than they used to be on the previous generations. The C8 will be good too. And for the price, quality vs cost is a hell of a bargain.

Quick question, how many of those are for the M2/M2C?

"Yet" is that key word haha. That frying amp issue with some rain may end up becoming something, who knows.
