Eh, the C8 is better than anything Ford has ever produced, not including the New Ford GT. I see that as more of a grassroots platform, and not even really a Ford. My M4 order came out to over $103K, and I still passed up on the C8. I was all about it, and followed it, intently, But after I sat in one, it just reminded me too much of my C7, and I slowly let my love for it, drift into the shadows. Now I do think that GM has something coming with the new Z-06. I may need to get one just listen to the engine. |
I did a 2 day racing school in the C8 and it was noticeably better than the old M4 on the track, and I'm a biased BMW guy. You give up rear seats and it lacks the top end of the new M4, but it's very quick 0-60. I clocked 3.1 with the on board timing on a dirty track.
The Z06 will be a monster. I probably still wouldn't buy one, as I'd get a used GT3 or new GT4 at that price, but it is a great bang for the buck.
I haven't driven a Mustang in any form since the early 2000s and they were terrible. I'm sure these new GT cars are light years ahead.
I may be tempted to get an LCI G80 M3 in a couple of years.
