When you go over the six figure mark, the competition gets really heavy and that C8 Z06 is going to be a freaking monster.

However...if this came in a proper manual, that opens up the door to a lot more buyers.
3400 lbs C8 Corvette are pipe dreams. A Z51 weighs 3638 lbs on C&D scales making it a porker for its relatively small size compared to the G8x. People keep talking like the G8x is some kind of massively overweight car despite the fact that it's lighter than its direct competition and in the ballpark of smaller cars like the C8.
