1. Maybe 460HP may be a lot for some people to handle in the corners with how wide the car is...

2. Maybe the car might have too costly maintainable for some buyers.

3. Maybe people are searching for more analog experiences I.e. lotus evora or 4C.

We established the corvette is a superior vehicle to the Z. But better isn't always better was referring to what people may demand out of their car. You not being able to still decipher what I meant and me have to explain the mustang mentality is proof of your "get off my lawn, mustang mentality".
Cuz by saying better isn't always better I was talking about what kind of characteristics I want from my car.

That's what I'm having a hard time with when it comes to my Z. That Alfa Romeo Giulia seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. But I want it low slung n in 2 doors and a hatch. That's why I beat off to that 6c sketch every night. Wishing and hoping for something like that in a low slung coupe with Giulia performance. Another car that makes me nut that would be great in a RWD hatch is the AMG GLA/CLA45

Those are the characteristics I'm looking for, just analog. I'm praying someone does it without the electronic crap. While my experience behind a corvette GS was phenomenal. I know what stirs my soul. To me a v8 car like that is a secondary goal after the kind of car I just described. Everyone has their preferences.

I can't read your mind dude. I don't know what you mean when you say "better isn't always better" with no further clarification. If you had said "better isn't always better for me" then it would have made a lot more sense. I still have no idea what you mean by "get off my lawn, mustang mentality". To me, mustang mentality is "my mustang with x, y, and z mods is totally a better car than this other car" with the other car usually being considered superior by most non-biased parties.

The only statement that I was strongly disagreeing with was that the C7 would be out of place on the dragon. As the only one here who's driven both cars on the dragon, I think my opinion carries a little more weight in that discussion. Now whether you enjoy the Z or the C7 more depends on your preferences, but that doesn't mean either of them are out of place. Just a ridiculous statement IMO.

If you want a Giulia that's low slung and has 2 doors, why not look at the 4C? It's more similar to the Z than a Giulia. It's got that sexy Alfa look, more analog feel, and sports car dimensions. Seems like everything you're looking for. It's in the same price range as the C7 if your looking at new ones there. I thought about getting one too, but the desire for a V8 was too strong.

I totally agree about the dragon statement. Even the C6 GS would shred the dragon. But other than that. People are different in there tastes.... my bad for not getting what you're saying. :tiphat:

As far as the 4C... It's just claustrophobic in the sense there's no storage. The Z trunk is about yey perfect. I want my car to be daily driveable just a Lil. I really love the vette and the Alfa 4c. I want something sized right in between. It's been the hardest decision in terms of what to do. I conceptually love the 911 capabilities. but... I'm not the biggest fan of the style. Then there's The M2, another car that delivers great power and handling but, I'm also not a fan of the styling. Then throw in I'd be a "BMW owner". :wtf2:
So everything that I love in looks doesn't quite look right and cars that look right are lacking the type of experience I'm looking for. Lol.

But you're right.... the 4c is closest to that mark I'm looking for. Alfa is supposed to be coming out with a couple more coupes. Maybe they'll come out with a car that has quadrifoglio power and handling but with Z like dimensions I'm thinking of just trading for the 2015+ Nismo Z34 mod it n get a Giulia as well and call it a day.

To me, the selection out there is poor. The Cayman corvette and M2 are the most sensible to purchase but I don't want them. I know.... I'm a scrambled egg on this. When I see the Z concept, that WILL HELP my decision A LOT!!
