Video title says "new" but I cannot tell if it is a 70s a 80s a 90s or later model. I may watch when someone posts the year....

Oh my you are sooo funny like that joke isn't played out enough, almost as much as you. And to be honest if you can't tell the difference between the different generations of 911s you are a fool. Go come up with some new material.

If you want GM to listen you ought to be courteous and help them a bit.

It's an attractive style. But let's be honest, an 80s to now models do not look the same. Similar? Sure. Same? Not even close. It's like saying you can't tell the difference between Cindy Crawford and Kathy Ireland.

I've been a Corvette fan for a long time and find the latest versions to be the ugliest which is purely subjective.

C7 was atrocious with that emo mascara running eyed back end. C8 is a wanna be that missed the boat of sharp lines everywhere. It's a day late to the party. Smooth lines are back in. Even lamborghini, who has more sharp lines than the other mid engine designs, have at least incorporated the sharpness into flowing lines.

Subjectivity wise.... everything goes.....

Porsche's are great looking cars but what impresses me is the commitment to their craft. The GT3 is a motorsport tool sold at a dealership.

When developing its new 2022 Porsche 911 GT3, engineers drove a prototype at a sustained 186 mph for a distance of approximately 3,100 miles, only coming to a stop whenever the car needed refueling.
The test, which took place at Italy's Nardo high-speed circuit, which Porsche happens to own, was just one of several key durability tests for the car, and in particular its 4.0-liter flat-6 engine. In fact, testing of the engine was even more rigorous. We're sure Porsche is still mindful of the engine fires that plagued early examples of the previous-generation 911 GT3.
In addition to the high-speed Nardo run, the engine in the new GT3 racked up more than 22,000 hours on Porsche's test rig. During these tests, the engineers repeatedly simulated runs the engine would experience at major racetracks, with the engine pressed to full throttle for a high proportion of the time, according to Porsche.

I think GM is listening and that’s part of the success and the problem. It’s the reason why no one bats an eye at the new GT3 “only” having 500hp, but people are having internet meltdowns if the new C8 Z06 doesn’t have at least 700. Porsche is the undisputed champ of doing more with less. Less weight, less displacement, less cylinders but equal or greater performance. It feels like GM copied Porsche’s multi platform formula to an extent, except they missed the part that every platform offered for Corvette doesn’t have to be saddled with daily driver requirements.
It’s like they’re afraid to make a model that isn’t for everyone. Last Corvette that I got that vibe from was the 99-00 hardtop. It wasn’t for everyone, as reflected in the sales due to being a stripper model. But it was also the most performance oriented. Then they tweaked it into the Z06...it still wasn’t for everyone. Too bad we can’t get back to that formula, as I feel less restraints are in place and there’s the focus on performance first.

In fact OP could have left GM out of this...
Are you listening GM?
As someone invested in the Corvette I say the GT3 represents exactly the opposite of what GM should do with the Corvette.
CNBC has it right. Add Mercedes to it... these are the market movers GM should be paying attention to:

I say it reads you are trying to be confrontational to feed the thread. I don't whine. I post opinions. IMHO many of them learned opinions. Criticize the C8 and/or any other vette at will. This is the GT3 thread.
In fact OP could have left GM out of this...; instead he reads like the proverbial 911 "overlord" indicating GM should emulate porsche GT3 wich basically simply added 7HP and put new tires on the same o samo and is asking an additional 20K for it AND on top of that NO WARRANTY FOR TRACK USE!!

Your post #4 in this Other Cars thread was clearly intended to be another cheap shot at Porsche...see the bolded above.
You even took the time to post pictures to keep that false narrative alive.
Those are the true marks of a troll.
The confrontational attitude is all yours.

Hopefully you are aware that VW never had a 911 model.

I suggest a quick read at the first stop of the 911 journey at the Porsche museum in Stuttgart. Known fact the 911 was born as a sport version of the beetle and they share the same monocoque architecture. Porsche is not ashamed of this and neither should you. 911 stands for heritage and tradition. The last rear engine 4 seats sports car standing and that is a cool thing. Just let's not get GM involved with it.... Two different paths. Let them land where they may instead of pushing this narrative on the CF that Porsche's is on the better one...
Right?..... OP?
