Wow, color me impressed! The Corvette is the only American purpose-built, full production, mid-engine flagship with arguably supercar levels of performance.....and the new G8X (using a modified 3- and 4-series chassis) holds its own. German engineering at its finest.

And you'd be right. Anyone paying $20K over for a C8 Corvette definitely has more money than brains. The base car is not worth $110-120K that some people are paying. But hey, supply and good old demand right.

For me, I'd easily choose the M3/M4. A Z06 at MSRP (when that comes out) is another situation.

I already loved the new corvette look but next to the G8X it's infinitely better looking

Pretty impressive that a luxury sports coupe is so competitive against a mid-engine pure sports car

This is why you should not be paying more than sticker for that c8. It's good but far from "super car killer"

Am I only one who thinks the corvette doesn't look right. Its too boxy for a mid-engine sports car in my opinion. The rear quarter panel view really shows this.

Cool vid! And just like the G8Xs…the C8s do not photograph nearly as well as they show in person!
