    I have no issue with the C7. It is true to it's roots. It is a Corvette.

    The facts are what they are. I respect the opinions that differ from my own but also understand that I will not see it your way. As usual, fan boys all around. Enjoy the C8, I hope it is everything you feel it will be.

    I'm no supercar expert but mid engine/ mid engine rears have better handling than rear engine platforms. So there is that. Probably will be better track times because of cornering.

    If it's just a toy and I was going to spend C8 money I'd get something that's not only going to appreciate, but last my lifetime too.

    That’s a pretty car, too bad it can’t even match the performance of a camaro.

    It's not all about strait line speed. The camaro is def. faster but looks like a rental car. I've been in love w/ the NSX since they came out in 1991.

    I agree. It is not all about straight line speed. The Camaro also takes it at the road course / handling.

    Sounds like someone who is bitter because they've always wanted a Vette but have never been able to afford it or wife/girlfriend wouldn't ever let you have one. Or both!

    not perhaps. It’s fact. Doesn’t just beat the NSX, it absolutely annihilates it in every performance metric.

    looks are subjective. Just like you can find many people that say the Camaro is ugly, the same is true of the NSX.
