on all things Corvettes. I love them, will own one at some point. I've just seen a lot of experts say they're not muscle cars. They're not super cars either. Corvettes are Corvettes. They are their own.

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?

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

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
