Great looking work, as always.

My wife drove one. I told her she had to at least try one before replacing her Boxster with a Cayman. She didn't hate it. She wants a stick rather than paddle shifters. She wasn't able to push it hard or take it on a road that would let her get feel the handling at speed. Her take is that the muscle is nice, but that she believes a Cayman with some suspension options will out corner the R8. This is maybe more preference on her part. Also a $25K+ price difference, so maybe not unexpected. She thought the braking was not great (she brakes hard). Don't recall if it had the brake upgrade. The car seems like an excellent value.

I'm guessing the C8 if you want amazing power and good handling. Cayman if you want handling like a go cart and good power. Guessing the 911 would be similar, but closer on the power (depending on model and options).

•Just as I consider all Corvettes to be
as quintessentially American as it gets...
-I also consider you, Sir, as being the
embodiment of the quintessential Detailer.

•Yes, ‘Scott(y)’, IMO:
-you have Detailing down to a science!

Thank you so much for that Bob! Really appreciate it.

As far as performance/bang for the buck goes, the C8 really hit it dead on. Look at the 0-60 numbers stock! WOW! And it has power to spare, handles excellent. And to think that an American manufacturer is producing something like this, that, can/should/could/would compete with others in a much higher price bracket, is awesome.

Let's see what happens when the ZO6 comes out...

Maybe I am too old school.... While the C8 has the European supercar look to it , it just doesnt feel like an American Corvette. All previous gens were very distinctive and they all screamed "American muscle".

To Scotty...

Nice job as always !!!!
