understand, they basically produced a car too fast to stay on the track. The only way to improve their track time was to go to the mid-engine design. This says a lot about the 2017 - 2019 rear engine Corevette with some models pushing over 700 HP.

To me, the problem is less that they made it look like a McLaren and more that it looks like a Camaro.

Fewer Mustangs than Camaros. Mustangs are more refined, more for the Manager than the Poors, unlike Camaros.

I’m fine with the mid-engine placement, but agree with you on the looks

Corvette ≠ Muscle car. It's always been a performance car

It kind of straddled the line...

Muscle cars, traditionally, only cared about straight line speed. Corvette's

A '67 vette with a 427 isn't a muscle car?

It is. I get his point but he's only half right...

Did it have a back seat? No. Traditional muscle cars do

Did it have a front engine?

If you want to say it straddled the line, fine. I'm not the foremost authority

I like the C7’s and expect the C8’s to get better over the years

I have a C7. C8 is 150HP less & currently no Conv. C8 is a great value, imo.

It is now probably the best performance car in the world for under 100K

The performance to price is incredible on this car. I’ve never been a huge ‘Vette fan after the ‘50s and ‘60s, but from

To get anything as good you have to spend at least 2x

jkccoug

well, not "at least" 2x the money, since the 911 isn't 2x, but it is close

911 Turbo (which is the only 911 as fast) is 200k
