After 750 miles, and nearly a month of ownership, the C8 is SO FAR ahead of anything Chevy has ever produced, it's not even comparable.
I will report again, with video and observations, from actually driving in anger this weekend at the track.  |
Yep. You are the only 2 here.

Insurance - if I had wrecked my new T/A. Insurance wouldn't have covered it at the track.

Purpose built means every weekend in the garage fixing what you broke at the track the weekend before. Finding parts that are rare, and putting a lot of money into something that will never equal 25% of what you spent. New cars, change the brake fluid, put track pads on, throw a track alignment on it, drive it all weekend and then put it back in the garage for the next event.
