Or, IDK, maybe you can with some more money.



It doesn't sound like a particularly good way to spend 100K to me, when you can get a Cayman GTS for less money and actually have fun driving it.


They sure dialed in a lot of understeer it sounds like. Which is okay to a point. Then it’s annoying because I doubt the car communicates at the limit very well.

The base model is fast. This should help GM separate the Corvette from the Camaro now. The C8 is damn heavy for a car that doesn’t have all wheel drive.
