Absolutely valid, but circling back to this thread’s main point: In addition to the arguably less purchase cost than a 360/430, a C8 owner also...
Can that still be said for a 360 with over 30K or 40K miles on it? The inability to put miles on the car for fear of dramatically impacting...
Was that in Newport Beach by chance? Must admit it caught my eye but disappeared quickly, as expected.
I can assure you that it will positively eviscerate a 360 in all situations. Probably even the 430.
Let the record show... if I could afford an F8 (or even a 458 Speciale) I would absolutely choose that over a C8.
I’m right there with you on that point, but there were enough other positives to offset.
I appreciate the candor :-) I must admit It’s going to be very weird to finally stop raping my cars.com “favorite searches” button every few...
I suspect the same could be said for loads of other butt ugly cars with and without performance mods. For me it was never simply about sheer...
Devil’s advocate: What if that is partly because all previous generations of Corvettes simply didn’t measure up to the aesthetic appeal of...
Yes. This. Well stated. Ferrari was only “aspirational” to me because of its: - looks - performance - sound - to a lesser degree, its pedigree...
My deposit was actually $2K at Bob Stall In San Diego, so yes :-) Had I not, I would have bought a 430 this week instead. Paid my deposit right...
I absolutely agree... but there is some heavy irony dripping from this concept :-)
Despite obvious performance prowess, I personally have never found any Porsche other than GT3 RS to be “exotic” nor attractive (esp the sound), so...
“Inclusion” is all the rage now. The C8 identifies as exotic, lol. Who am I to judge.
Fair enough... but that very statement helps drive my basic point. For the very first time, the term “supercar” (although I prefer exotic) can...
Yep. I totally get you, and that is the exact analogy I had been using with my friends... right up until I finally saw the actual C8. Where that...
While I currently own a C7 Z51 and I’ve longed/aspired for decades to own a Ferrari or Lamborghini for performance & symbolic reasons, I don’t...
Sounds like you could solve your problems and save a few bucks just by switching to a 430 coupe, lol.
Fair enough. 458 is brilliant to me.
You’re saying you’ve driven a 458 and it wasn’t memorable?
