True, they all look far better in person. (Ive seen all 4 at the Chicago Auto Show).. But the Stingray might as well not even be related. The Z06/Z07 is on a whole different planet. Wider, WAYYY more aggressive, sexier & and far more gorgeous. The Z06 is what the c8 was always supposed to be. And imo its the better looking car vs the GT. The GT is awesome & more exotic.. But its more sleek & elegant, but I prefer the sharper angles, aggressive body lines/splitter/aero, and the chiseled look of the Z06. And for the price difference, (and the fact the Vette is the do-it-all daily, supercar, track beast), I think its the best car under $250k

NA cars, like the 458, have a FEEL and SOUND to them that forced induction cars to do not. Its why there was such a hissy fit when Porsche originally thought it might stop making the GT3, and why the current GT3's are selling for 2x MSRP. (even higher for the ones that come with a stick shift, which in no way keep up with the performance of the PDKs).

This new corvette is to the auto industry what the Nissan GTR was back when it was released to the states. For the money it was beating super cars everywhere and it prompted all the car manufacturers to step it up. I say this is a win for all of us regardless of the brand you like, because it’s only going to cause more passion and determination within the car engineering industry. And it will be us who benefit from it all. Awesome vid! 👍🏼

@@gregorysloat4258I'm with you on that, however when the time came to buy my vette, I was six months out of back surgery, I'm 6'4" tall and went to my local Chevy dealer. I found a new 2000 Vette convertible in the showroom. It took me time to get in and my head bulged the softop! The salesman informed me I'd be driving with the roof down! I left and went a few blocks down to Pontiac, took a WS-6 for a drive, now at the time these cars had the exact same drive train. But more importantly I fit into this car! So I ordered one, and 23 years later am I glad I did, as my order included Pewter paint & a Taupe leather interior. The salesman told me only a grey interior would look good with that paint. There were just 32 with Pewter paint and 9 with Taupe leather made, with the combination, just 4 were built, 23 years ago.
