This Corvette (minus the V8) is really what the NSX should have been!

cafe80s well that was rude

@@cafe80s Stripped down and simple? Especially technologically? Not to mention downgraded in looks from the previous generation.. I do agree in some ways, the whole complex, ultra-high tech AWD drivetrain and high curb weight that came with the NSX didn't seem right for the "Purist" NSX namesake. Should've been a bit more raw and drawn more aesthetically from its predecessors. The newer NSX was very unique though if you were willing to look the other way from the Purist roots, and it was way ahead of its time technologically. And all that tech costs $$. The sub-60k price tag for the Vette was surprising, but overall it's a bit disappointing and lackluster amongst its fleet. It won't be easy to drive like the NSX, and it won't compare to other current Midship RWD supercars in the corners. But then again, that's never been the Vette's forte and it has always prided itself as an affordable alternative. We'll see when they drop a ZR-1 type track-oriented poster car version in the upcoming years though..

Matty D they aren't, Chevy dealers will mark it up 20k at least. Plus you'll need to add on packages. It's a 90-100k car when it's all said and done. Z06 will assuredly be over $100k

keelay the z06 is a whole different car. I think the base corvette shown in the video is maxed out at 70k with options. Still the best bang for buck. Anything under 150k

They all cost that, the rest is brand value added.

My question is why did you have any interest in the Lexus RCF at all?

Conor I think you’re being hyperbolic. It’s definitely not as fast as it’s competitors but it’s the only naturally aspirated option. So if you prefer a more Motorsport feel, it’s great. Although it’s worth noting the RCF is build on the last gen IS platform. So I personally think the GSF is a much better representation of Lexus’ F performance cars. But to call either of them “obscenely slow” is objectively unfair.
