Porsche 911 vs. C8 Corvette

[mrsrobinson]

Prior boating I did have few good years with 911. I was not getting the car for show-off, mostly used it trackdays and my main cost was linked to tires Shortest stint was 2 days for Cup2R tires and normal wear was 4-5 sets per summer. As car had a factory warraty, I only paid for normal service and it was not that much compared to trackday tickets, tires and burned petrol. Pics for proof as well Nurnburng ring in rain and youtube clip from SPA and Hockenheims trackdays

It's not clear to me what your original plan was, 2 cars or 1? But, if it were me I'd walk away from the Vet/Dealer. I am too impatient for one and it's not worth MSRP to me. I also like to restore and modify my toys, so new has never been an option/choice for me.

It wasn't clear to me either. Started at one new C8 plus my '95 Z28 Convertible (original owner). C8 took so long I bought a fully restored '69 Pace Car. Loved to look at it, not so much to drive it. C8 still took too long, opportunity for the new Porsche dropped into my lap. So it was always two extra cars (Z28 plus ???) now it might be three. Dunno yet.

Porsche by far better in the twisties

Not enough twisties on Long Island.....except maybe the parkways at 0200.
