Haha yeah. Corvette straight-up bought the engine out of a crashed Ferrari 458 and copied it for the Corvette C06... And they openly talk about buying Ferraris and picking them apart to see what makes them good, then copying it. I mean they always did this, but Corvette never used to brag about it. So to your silly, leading question. Are there any exotic cars out there... At Corvettes price range? What... You think Mclaren, Lambo, Ferrari are trying to make cheap cars, but failing to do so? You think their price range is a mistake? You think if they just tried harder, they could compete on GMs level? What is your game here? What is this culture. The rest of the world makes better cars. Its not just cars, its everything. See if you can name an American top-end, quality product. Christ, you people...

One main thing about the SVJ, is that people don’t buy it for speed. There are plenty super cars even within lamborghinis own line up that will destroy it in a race. People buy those SVJs and SVs because of that raw V12 that has 770hp, which makes a noise and presence that no other car has these days. Combo that with fighter jet looks and you have a car that’s in a class of its own. People buying SVJs aren’t usually cross shopping any type of C8 corvette. There usually cross shopping it with other NA V12 cars that sound like that, for example an 812 Competition or 812 gts.

For the money I STILL would take GM's own Z06/Z07 package over the Yenko, or wait for the ZR1 due later this year. A collectible isn't what I would want, and I'm pretty sure most everyone who would buy the Yenko ISN'T going to drive it with any enthusiasm or rack on miles and will instead turn it into a pampered garage queen, something that MIGHT visit a local Cars & Coffee meet. As for any of the Euro exotics...they generally do come with a lurking, significant price not reflected in the MSRP now down the road. Unless you're made of money, when they break you will break. That's their innate nature.
@george1la2 ай бұрын
For that price nothing can touch it and you have a full Chevy warranty. With that kind of power expect some maintenance bills after warranty. With this kind of horsepower and the way it will be certainly driven, unless just collected, you have to expect problems even with all the best parts. I just saw a video of a Steve Morris billet motor with the biggest main caps you have seen and they were cracked. Rings and valves can have problems over time with this power, cylinder pressures, and temps.

The Yenko is probably worth it, as it a limited-run vehicle.

How about a Rapid Blue with the orange stripes. Or black with red, silver or orange stripes. This car is going to be in direct competition with the ZR1.

The ZR1 will have less HP, likely close to 850, but I think it will have the advantage as a future investment...maybe.
