I know that styling and exhaust note are really subjective (which was JST’s point).

I think Ferrari has become soulless and the Italian equivalent of a Honda Civic Si —too fussy. I’m not a super fan of Lambo either. There’s something weird and soft about the McLarens. Love the Ford GT. Probably my favorite super car right now for looks.

I don’t think there’s a better looking car right now than the 718. It’s clean and classic looking. Less strakes and louvers than the BMW M standard these days.

The C8 reminds me more of design elements I like in the Acura NSX of the 90s. It speaks to me.

I also think the American V8 sound is intoxicating. It trumps the high pitched overly echo-y Ferrari sound to my ears.

That written I haven’t driven this car. I worry about the steering feel and the sheer size of this thing. I hate the new 911 size and this is likely bigger.
