I’m in the target demographic for this car. Old guy nearing retirement who wants to own an interesting gentleman’s GT car before they lock me up in a concentration camp (nursing home). I don’t know all that much about cars, but raced motorcycles into my mid 60s and rode a liter bike on the street to my late 60s. So I know that any poser GT cars would not make me happy. That they kept the exterior subtle (for a C8) is a strong point for me. I also like the AWD functionality since I live in the northeast and don’t want to put the car in hibernation for ~4 months a year when I don’t have that many years left. I won’t pay what Porsche asks for a comparably equipped AWD 911. I also won’t pay over MSRP for any car. If I can’t get an E-Ray then maybe an Audi RS3, but that might be even harder to get at MSRP.

What you get just depends on how much you have on top, as well as your personal taste, of course. I'm just glad this is $100k instead of $250k or more like what you see with Porsche, Lamborghini, etc.

Word has it that the ZR one is going to have the truck motor with twin turbos. So let’s hope that the Zora has the exotic LT six with electrification in the front. I would never call the pushrod small block a truck motor had you not invented the giant Ferrari motor that you put in the Z06. Now the pushrod motor is a truck motor. Not looking forward to the all electrified version what are you going to call it now that you call the hybrid E-Ray ? F! All electric! ICE ICE baby!

Even though they are both sports cars the Miata, BRZ, and 88 are more value based sports cars. Then you get into the mid tier sports cars like the Supra, Nissan Z, BMW's... Then of course you have the Corvette, the Porsches, and maybe some of the Aston Martins etc. I guess it depends what exactly you are looking for from the car. The Miata is an excellent value, but people shopping Corvettes and Porsches are not looking at that level of sports car either.

You completely miss the point of the car then. The electric motor is not meant to operate on it's own most of the time. It works as an assist to the gasoline engine. This makes it grip harder out of turns, launch harder from a dig, etc. There is plenty of reason for this car to exist and they nailed it. This was not built to be more economical, it was built to be higher performance while retaining the gasoline engine.
