1 year agoWith these high dollar toys, it’s a good idea to start thinking about net worth and not just income. If you’re considering a 750, your finances are presumably well sorted, so will a rapidly depreciating asset compromise your investment goals?
Lot of Porsche love here, so I’ll provide a slightly different take: Corvettes excel at the edges of the “fun car” use cases. They’re great as a fun, fast, decently practical daily driver. They also come alive at 9/10 on the track. This is especially true with mag ride optioned.
Back roads are the in-between use case, where you’re not usually pushing the car to its absolute limits. The 718 is the clear winner here for the reasons others have stated. The C8 will have less approachable limits and less steering and chassis feel.
You will meet a lot of old guys at track days who want to talk about the Corvette they got for their retirement. Props to them for at least bucking half the stereotype by using their cars.
