Beautiful car. Amazing specs. I agree, game changer car. Im up for a new car soon and have been looking at 911s and now I have a dilemma. The only thing I worry about is the interior quality. In the past its been a deal breaker for me. Cant wait to see this thing in person.

I'm just wondering how I feel about the looks. Will wait until I see it in person. But under 3s to 60 for a car of this category is just silly. Well done!

I will say that from this C6 to C7, there's no comparison for interior. This C7 I took pictures of at the dealer goes up against anything else IMO. A lot of people are biased and think certain interiors are better when really, there's nothing significantly different or the "more expensive" one uses just as much plastic and fake features. I'd have a hard time living with that C6 interior, but this C7, my 2SS 1LE, no problem. In these days, I think the perceptions are more of a problem, rather than the actual "interior".

![]() That said, if a new M4 comes out with ~500hp, it has the potential to be pretty special, as that's typically the dyno number and not at the crank, so if it's not too overweight, the rich torque curve can make for a pretty amazing car. It won't compete with a corvette, but the corvette crosses a line for me as far as practicality, in terms of interior space and utility, so it's unlikely I'll ever go there.

And I'm sure they benchmarked this on a bunch of cars, but it'd be hilarious if it outperforms the Ford GT.

Perhaps The HACK will trade in his beautiful Vette for the new C8 iteration...

This car is going to set the automotive world on fire!
Think about the performance we're talking about here - and this is for the BASE Stingray with 495HP from an "antiquated" pushrod V8! They stated 1.0g on all-season tires too. Much of the speculation was the GM doesn't know what they're doing with a mid-engined layout. From the talk last night, they looked at it as a complete advantage that they took fully advantage of. All this for what will be less than $100K fully spec'd is epic. I'm assuming that the 3LT model will probably be close to $20K more than the base car, plus other options should keep it under the $100K mark. NSX owners have to be feeling really stupid (yes, I still hate that car!) What the hell is the Z06 and Zora (ZR1 replacement) going to be like?

I was considering a 2008 Cayman 5 years ago before I bought my Z4. The interior was nothing to write home about. Laid out decently for driving, but the design and build quality was average for the original MSRP price point. It wouldn't have kept me from buying the car.
