Boring and GT3 do not belong in the same sentence.

The C8 is a great value proposition, no doubt. For someone like me who doesn't want to plunk down 6 figures on a car, it will do nicely.
I would notice it. I like 911s. I like Corvetes. I like most performance cars. I don't understand the slavish loyalty towards one brand. Porsche makes a hell of a car.

I'm well aware. The post I replied to seemed to think it was because there was some massive V8 back there, when that is not the case.

Understood. The LS and LT engines are incredibly compact.

Like the titanic and its because of the trunk trunk. Not the frunk.. lol

It's almost 6" longer than a C7 which is also pretty dam big...

In person especially in the hips disproportionately so, it's like a grounded fighter jet but not in the cool fighter jet way.

I'm hoping the GS Z06 variant evens the car out some from front to rear... right now it's really back heavy in length and width compared to the narrow front end.
