C8 design

GM designers did a horrible job designing the new Corvette, they should have taken a look at the Ford GT before approving the final design, the Ford GT is the best mid engine looking car today.

Well, at least the OP isn't saying that it's not fair.

Is that a Ford GT for your avatar? Looks more like a C5 Corvette...

5 C-8 try 7 or 8 that being said the GT is a terrific looking car but a little out of most price range.

Which Ford GT? There are three versions. I'm partial to the first - the one that won Le Mans three years running

That said, this is a Corvette forum. Carry this on in Other Cars.

I did not say that I don’t like Corvettes, I own a 1982, 1984, 1998 and a 2019, just talking about the new C-8

I like the second and last generation of the GT, just can not afford them.

Lots of mediocre vs one great. Sounds logical.

Sort of like taking home five 2's vs one 10 from the bar.

C8 design

To me they are just copying Ferrari. The Camero has a much better design.

And people complain about the "ease of entry" in the C4? Maybe, after you find a way to crawl into a Ford GT, you won't want to get out, anyway!

I agree. But, the lack of a manual transmission on both the C8 and 2017 GT, kills either one for me.

I like the 2017.
