Contrary to popular belief, the Corvette is NOT a direct competitor with the Porsche 911. The Corvette has no direct competitors, since the Viper went out of production 5 years ago and the vette moved to a rear mid engined platform 2 years ago. The Porsche 911 has no competitors either. It resides at the top of the sportscar foodchain and only has occasional "911 model to car model" comparison, but no "911 lineup to car lineup" s. This (being at the top of the sportscar foodchain) used to be the case for the corvette, however it's been caught up on by other manufacturers. Where exactly does the vette fit in with the porsche lineup? Right between the cayman and 911. It's a more fun, more exciting, more comfortable drivers car than the 911, and it's a more performance oriented, better track time achiever than the cayman. The C8 Stingray can only compete with the 992 carrera 2s at best, but most likely can only compete with the base 992 rwd. The Z06 even with the Z07 pkg is likely to only be able to compete with the 911 GT3, and there's talks that the GT3 RS would clock times only slightly slower if slower at all than the 991 GT2 RS. Not to mention the 992 GT2 RS would probably be able to snack on the Senna. Chevy's gonna need that hybrid 1000hp Zora to compete on that level. And even at that point, it's anyone's game.
