[QUOTE="DEADLY FORCE, post: 16248595, member: 34454"] I’m considering it. Less than 3 second zero to sixty is impressive, and the price starts at less than 60k for it. I’m also looking forward to seeing the lap time comparisons between the two on a road course. I feel like it will be a good race with just the Z51 package. With the Corvette being lower, lighter, more balanced, and having a more manageable power band, I believe the average weekend, track day enthusiast will pull faster, and more consistent lap times in the Vette without the worry of heat soaking the car, or burning up the tires and brakes because of the heavy weight and high power of the 500. I think it will be a lot easier to drive the C8 fast for a longer duration. Hate to say it, but having a rear-mid engine would also make it feel like driving a more exotic vehicle, at least until they are all over the road when Chevy sells a ton of them! I just hope both vehicles end up being reliable and don’t have a ton of recalls. With the Vette being a whole new design, I’m sure it’ll have the most bugs to work out, which could be bothersome and take away from the ownership experience of the car. I’ve had my fair share of warranty work with Ford though, so who knows. [/QUOTE]
