911 in my area is 8% off MSRP all day long unless it’s a GT or special variant. My 15 Cayman GTS had 514 miles it was titled and returned from a customer waiting for his 911 Turbo, the GTS was MSRP 91k I walked out before tax 67k and it was CPO.

Porsche is a luxury brand Corvette on its own is too but at a lower scale. Does Porsche have cars around the Corvette MSRP sure but the dealer experience alone is like a high end steakhouse to Bonanza with Chevrolet. Sorry no horse in the race I have owned many of both products and the Porsche is higher on the luxury scale. One big thing that hurts the Corvette it’s under the Chevrolet badge. I loved my 15 Z06 but the quality of the interior was still behind my 15 Cayman GTS, both had similar MSRP 90kish.

Performance the Z slaughter the GTS it was Not even in the same league, you would need to compare it to a GT3 or GT4. I believe the new ME will close this gap, but GM will always be behind when it comes to Dealership after sales and perception. When you walk into a Porsche store the least expensive car is 55k walk into a Chevrolet dealer it’s half of that number. Okay don’t blast away as I am on the list since 1/16 and can’t wait to get my ME.

IMO cars are getting crazy expensive and Porsche has lost their minds I was at the dealer yesterday they had a new 718 Cayman S loaded up to 114k. Lol that person will loose their A when they trade that one in.

like any change, some support it while others don’t. It’s no different on the c7 forum with the introduction of each generation. Remember the stupid debate on the shape of the rear lights......let alone changing the position of the engine. Those that have the money can select between a ME or Porsche as they wish or have both. The fanboys will stick with their cars and think they are the best whether they are or not. Somethings never change. My opinion is, Porsche currently makes the superior car.....granted at a higher price. Porsche is the car GM also bench marks with Corvette development......which is really as far as you need to look to see what GM sees as their aspirational target.

I have had both and understand the C7 has higher torque numbers. I also know a current generation 911s will out accelerate a regular 460 hp c7 0-60 and through the quarter mile. With a top end of 190 plus the 911 more than holds its own. The only place a C7 will perhaps excel is on the track.....and then it will be a drivers race. Fit and finish is also better on the Porsche. .......and GM did buy a 911 that was used as a benchmark in developing the C7.

Most guys who are enthusiasts buy corvettes not for the image to others but rather what the corvette offers in driving fun at a ridiculously reasonable price..

you want to impress others by all means buy or better yet lease a porsche...or ferrari or a lambo or R8...

you want to laugh your @ss off driving an amazingly fast and extremely capable sports car...buy a corvette..

for thise that simply want to impress themselves the corvette is a great choice...

nobody buys a corvette to impress others...with the exception that those that know what a corvette can do...they are already impressed with the car...

for those that are impressed with expensive things...they will never be impressed with corvettes...as they are relatively inexpensive in the world of 190 mph road rockets capable of pulling 1.0 lateral g s..accelerating to 60 mph in under four seconds etc...

decide..if you want to impress others or yourself...

if its impress yourself then buy a corvette...

if its others..lease a porsche ...

btw most girls arent impressed with porsches either...in fact cars in general in the land of leasing, sports cars mean very little to women...

they just want their gucci bag etc..

The only person most of us should impress is ourselves...

who cares what others think...and if the german or italian so called higher perceived quality is important...buy one of those other brands and we will congratulate you on your purchase...

no hard feelings...to each his own..

That very well may be true. In reality, 0-60 and quarter times are for bragging rights for most car buyers. Very few serious racers in the aging Corvette and Porsche crowd😏. I don’t think you can dispute either car isn’t a quick and fast car by most people’s standards. A lot of hair splitting takes place on this forum as well as Rennlist. Very entertaining if you don’t get too serious about it. At the end of the day we are talking about cars. Not very damn important in the scheme of life.....at least for me it’s not!
