Well you know what they say about opinions..... and I personally think my new gt3rs looks a lot more bad *** then my 570s did ..... and drives way better much more fun when you don’t have to wait for the turbos to spool up! The engine is a masterpiece just like the last great corvette the c6z06!

the problem with McLaren are Deprecation... they are incredible cars but they lose value faster then any car. I just lost 60 grand in 5 months of ownership! Next time I’m buying used!

the problem is the way these engine works it’s very simple .... super charger vs turbo!

I was in the same boat I thought these exotic manufacturers were just charging more because people were suckers and the wanted the name of the car ...... that’s very wrong the extra money goes for all the extra engineering they put into the car!

What performance? Mid-engine doesn't equate to performance. If it did, the $200K NSX would beat a $92K Corvette Grand Sport, but it doesn't.

sure because apple car play cost 800$ of engineering while all the other car manufacturer offer it for free.

just checked my sticker and I guess it was a free option on my Porsche! My m3 cost me $250 and I would pay 800 if McLaren offered it!

lucky you. It was 800$ on the 718 cayman S

They will not, have not, or never will have a mid engine corvette for 60k. Sorry. Should have went to a better college.

It’s going to be a great world class car, so there is no way that GM can or will price the C8 at the entry level price of a C7. There are at least two factors in play: the R&D of the ME design and all of the new systems it will require, and secondly, the demand for a hot new design, evidenced by the impatient buyers in this forum..

Because GM simply has to make more money on its “halo” vehicles, I suspect there may be more differences between the base and higher priced iterations of the C8 and the options will be conisderbaly higher cost than in the C7. GM make its money on its mos popular vehicles, especially the trucks. Because of demand. Who ever thought dressed out Tahoe’s and Yukon’s would be in them $90k stratosphere? And the same vehicle with a Caddy emblem on it can break six figures. Thank you soccer moms!

And, regarding eh apply play... while Porsche offers an uber high end audio system, GM offers only the mediocre Bose. Remember the age old question (not neccesarily applicable to cars with run flats) ... Why did my $50k GM car come with a cheap $10 jack? Because GM was out of $5 jacks.

I believe demographics plays some role in this. Not because there aren’t plenty of rude, offensive and combative people with money, but rather due to the fact they have the means to buy something more expensive than a Corvette should they desire. Therefore eliminating some of the jealous rock throwing crowd that would love to have a higher end marquee if they could afford it. (Feel free to add any number of higher end cars to this list of possibilities). Therefore, I believe the pure function of “ real” choice helps to reduce the potential for hate since many of these car lovers can have both and much more should they wish. In summary, any buyer of a new 911 could buy a new Corvette, while not every Corvette owner can purchase a new 911. Granted their is always the used market, but with that comes higher maintenance costs that many really can’t afford as well. As a result, money allows for a greater range of choice. It will be easy to see who the jealous rock throwers are by observing the responses to this post. BTW......this is the same reason why more Mustangs, Camaros and other inexpensive cars are purchased as compared to Corvettes, Porsche’s, Ferrari’s, etc. As with the Mustang and Camaro buyers, it’s a simple function of what they can afford, not necessarily desire or want. Don’t you think a majority of those buyers wouldn’t give their left nut to have a new Corvette, Porsche, Ferrari or a $500,000 Ford sports car? I know I would.

Cheers
