Will be interesting to watch the C8 go through puberty over next couple years.  I'd still take the snake though.

I signed up to run a few cars at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac Michigan through Extreme Experiences on May 21.  Two of the three cars I chose are these two so it should be interesting to run each for three laps to see how they compare.  Should be fun.  I've never done one of these multi car track experiences before.

for the performance in corners, braking, downforce etc the C8 should be the deal and if they bring it up with more hp than now the GT500 will loose. I dont like both, I would take my V12 Vantage and eat them both, and also a well tuned Focus RS will get them for the half price what they cost. I would always prefer my 67 GT500 also on the track they can perform very good for their age.

I did a Ferrari 458 Italia at the MIS  road course last fall through Extreme(fathers day gift from my kids).  It was fun. BTW I'd take the new Vette over the Gt500 and pocket the difference($$$). Gary

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we will call the ZR 1 zone
.... game over !

The Vantage with mid 4 second 0-60 and mid twelve 1/4 mile times would not compete with either the new 500 or the current Vette. When the ZR1  arrives it will throttle the new 500, the current C8 and take the paint off the Vantage as it cruises by it...

Apples and oranges. Lets see the 2 seat sports car beat the 4 seat grocery getter - so drag out the race car grocery to beat the pedestrian 2 seat sports car. Watch for a rematch where the Z06 Vette beats the fully tuned on race tires Mustang.

currently a Florida tuner has a new 500, rumor has it that it is pretty maxed out

or as we say say not to much juice left in that orange

but you never know who or what will happen next

exciting times we are living in

oh my goodness what is this

Regardless of whether you are a very jaded "bleed Ford blue" person or one that likes all performance cars you got to give GM Kudos for bringing out a mid engine sports car starting at 60K. Hell Ford couldn't even do that with the Ford GT 15 YEARS ago for double the price. Just saying.... Gary

The Prius, the Chyrsler K car and the Corvair were also "car of the year"

The front engine C7.R could run with the racing Ford GT.  Corvette Racing will take the C8.R to a new level and much of it will transfer back to the C8 in "Z06" like options.  Good luck to the GT500 then.

And remember "Chevrolet" is French. Just a matter of time before surrender
