So what does Chevrolet think is a competitor for the Corvette? It’s the Porsche 911, a car that has been compared to the Corvette by auto journalists since the 80s. ![]() Both are amazing cars, but they are not competitors. However, people shopping for something as fast as a Corvette aren’t going to be lured to the much slower Nissan just because it’s a good deal, and likewise people who are looking for the cheapest performance car they can get aren’t going to be looking at the C8. That does make it an amazing performance bargain, and honestly, it’d be hard to say that the Corvette is a better value. ![]() ![]() And it’s sold with a manual, so it’s already got a leg up over the Chevy. We don’t make any secret that we are excited about the new Z. Well, an old kid that reinvented themselves.

It’s got near enough the same power figures, and with an MSRP of $70,000, it’s pretty close in value too. Like the M3, or the Z, or… The M3Įveryone’s favorite pig snout is fast. What sets the Corvette apart is its incredibly low price tag of 60 grand.īut, surely there is something close. Lots of cars nowadays are that motivated. That’s enough to propel the car to sixty in under three seconds. It’s got nearly 500 horses under the… Trunk lid. ![]() The C8 has some really impressive numbers. Let’s start by backing up the outrageous claim we opened with. Namely, thanks to a late-night trademark filing, we could be seeing the return of an old friend. They were recently seen testing a variety of cars on their personal track, and the rumors have been running wild. Sure, there are faster cars, and there are cheaper cars, but there are no cars that can stand toe to toe with America’s sports car for the same price.Īpparently, that doesn’t sit well with Ford.
