Zerv02,Thanks for the information before you head back to the mothership. Here’s G.M.’s pricing philosophy: “If you can afford a C7 you can afford a C8.”That’s it. I assume Zerv02 was just fooling and trying to get some sort of a reaction. It was definitely my laugh for the day!

I'm not too concerned either way, my C7 may be all the sports car I'll ever need or want, the car is off the hinges great/fast/cool, etc. Two years now and the honeymoon is not over yet.

Maybe you can buy your base model beloved 911 that will most probably be much less attractive and have inferior performance and so on!

People like me who don't want everyone to have the exact point of view. It's people like you who make forums a boring place to be. This has to do with people having a difference of opinion and those who think they are holier than thou, such as yourself, who seem to think that we all have to get along. You cry because we argue, newsflash, I sometimes argue with my family but that doesn't mean I don't love them any less, arguing is as natural as getting along, there is no heaven without hell. Sorry, I'm no snowflake, I don't mind if we have a difference of opinion, my feelings don't get hurt if someone disagrees with me, I was brought up in an age where we all don't get participation trophies, where we don't cry to mamma when someone hurts our feelings, I live in the real world where, surprise surprise, we all don't or have to get along. The sooner you realize this, the better off you'll be.

Just out of curiosity, as you seem to be in the camp against the $170k price point, what justifies a $170k price point in a sports car, in your opinion?
Please.... dont give me the "dealership experience" jarggin. Tell me what kind of experience your going to get buying a GTR from a Nissan dealer..... ah hah.
You do know some Zr1's can be optioned up to around $150k? I saw one at Les stanford plopped up between a chevy equinox and a silverado.... dealership experience....

I'm not one of those with a burr up my *** about buying a Corvette from a Chevy dealer. I have great Chevy dealer. And yes, I do have significant track experience in several different cars, and I still do not have the skills to take advantage of those capabilities. I'm experience rich, but talent-limited, and I'm smart enough to recognize that.
In order to hold on to it's market share, GM knows very well that any new ME is going to have to start at around $70K. That car will be more than 99% can handle going 8-9/10s. The same is true of the base C7.

Nah, I like Monk, and he has contributed a great deal here over the years.

Be argumentative even when the no valid reason to be.
Honestly your probably right he a great guy. One of those who will argue for argument sake on the Internet but would never be a jerk to other in the same fashion in person.
I read an earlier post that said the Internet brings out the worst in person?
I would say the the CF brings out the worst. Ferrari Chat you never see this back stabing argue for argument sake.
Not sure how the Porsche forum is yet but I just ordered a 911 so I guess I see.
I am new to Porsche so I am just hoping it much closer to the helpful and informative side and not the pissy argue over nonsense seen here on the C8 forum.

I've interacted with Monk on many different subjects here over the years, and I don't think he "likes confrontation for no reason other than confrontation." Like me, he enjoys a good debate. We've tangled on various matters and agreed on others. I respect his opinion, and I've never felt he got overly personal. He may have gotten irritated at times, as I have I, and taken a jab or two.
I've regretted doing that, and strive to avoid it because it gets one nowhere even on an "anonymous" forum. However, we all have our weak moments where patience wears thin.
