That's interesting because the Grand Sport is a much faster car :-)

I would disagree with this. Once they have the suspension tuning all sorted out, it will be a lot better than the C7 version. Just like when the current Mustang came out, it was all over the place. Now people all going dooh daaah over the GT350R but it's basically the same car fundamentally.

My feeling all along has been that the C8 is basically a Corvette albeit with the engine in the middle. People who are putting deposits right now expecting a $60K 911 or R8 or McLaren will be very disappointed. But if you keep your perspectives in check, for $60 (with options up to $80K), it's not bad.

Based on the Farah's vid, the folks at RT pretty much commented that after all the initial Corvette mid engine novelties worn off, they all came back down to earth.
