That ME corvette has been talked about, planned and postponed many times during the past few decades (even more than the NC1), so it'll be awesome when it finally makes it into production.
The Nissan GT-R also comes with Nissan's corporate V-motion grille that's also on the Sentra, Versa, Altima, Maxima, Leaf, Kicks, Murano, Rogue, etc. Given that, do you have a problem with the GTR's grille? (For reference, the Mercedes GT cars and Audi R8 are other supercars which also share corporate grilles with the rest of their corporate lineup.)
That'll be the cheaper base model. If you want the higher performance, more expensive and exclusive one, it'll be the hybrid version (ala NSX NC1) with a rumored output nearing 1000hp.
The bloated-looking Nissan GTR also weighs more than that (as well as more than the NSX) even without a hybrid system. Do you have a problem with the GTR's weight?
No one will argue that the Corvette has a strong following community and fan base, but those numbers include sales of all their C7s, including the base stingrays that go for 55k-60k. It would be beyond unfair to try to compare those unit sales to any ONE supercar model. Price point alone is good enough to make them sell like hotcakes, relatively speaking.
Anyways, while your comments on the C8 are well-taken and appreciated, your repeated weak-jabs at the NC1 are getting old (as shown in this post at the NC1's design, grille, weight, etc). We GET IT. You don't like it and you won't get one. That's perfectly fine. However, don't keep cleverly bashing the car over and over as shown in 3/4 of all your posts since joining here. As I pointed above, the GTR suffers from some of the same things you keep bashing the NSX for. Are you on gtrlife doing the same thing about the GTR? Not happy with your GTR?? It's funny because I don't like the GTR myself. I find them to be the Mustang/camaros of the supercar world (both in looks and dollar/performance). While the base one is dirt cheap (relatively-speaking)and attainable at well under 100k, the price-alone was not good enough for me to get one. For the sake of avoiding argument, I'll just say that it wasn't a very attractive or special-looking car to me. Given all this, I still respect the car, but most importantly, I've never bashed it for anything nor do I go to GTR forums bad-mouthing it. If I did, that would probably mean that I had to justify the purchase of my currently car and somehow still wished I got the GTR. But no, that's certainly NOT the case. :biggrin:
, this thread is about the C8 possibly using the NC1 hybrid components. Not sure why you are ranting off about the GT-R here.
