GM can sell the base 'Vette at $60K because it sells on average 2,000 cars a month compared to the 911 at 700 per month. The economies of scale of the sheer production numbers plus the Corvette can parts share with other GM products allows GM to produce the car less expensively than Porsche does the 911. I think it is fare to say that the 911 has a better track-focused design and has for decades, which probably makes it a more robust track car, but it starts at $35K more in price so it should be. |
Come on man.....I've tracked the hell out of the majority of Corvettes I've owned! (Drag).
Granted I'm not 68, but I am 45.
Plus we have a regular at the track who is 66 I think with a H/C/I C6Z and he flogs the shit out of it!
