Short answer: "No".
That's what my gut says, anyway. Examples like this immediately come to mind:

Then there's Hellcats. I could also being up the "T" word, but let's just not.

Translation: mods have fun with this thread.
If you are looking for bragging rights, there should be some specific areas where the G8x comes out in the top spot, particularly the G80 since its a sedan and high performance sedans are less prolific than coupes. The AWD model is also going to occupy a smaller niche too, with the M4 in particular being something of a neo-GT-R at a much lower price-point.
So maybe not necessarily game changing territory, but certainly great value at any rate.
