The C8 is not even on the same level as the Pcar, NEVER will be. I've been in many Vettes (C5 and up), while the quality is slowly improving, it's still a mass produced American car.
American cars in general are always "best bang for your buck." But look at what the least reliable vehicles are, in the US, for 2019. Pretty much across the board, the number 1 and number 2 LEAST reliable are GM vehicles. I'm not saying that a SS 1LE Camaro won't smoke my M2C on track, or even a C5Z, but I couldn't care less about lap times (only reason I listed them above is because that statement was 100% false). If you're after the fastest "new" car for the least amount of money, by all means spend your dollars where you want and if that's the C8, HAVE FUN, after all that's why we buy these things.
Given my stance, which should be pretty obvious in my posts, on American cars, I'll be a liar if I said I didn't cross shop a 2020 2SS 1LE and a GT350 with the M2C, but ultimately you can see what I went with. I'm not trying to say that that they're shit cars, they just aren't for me.

Wow, you're all frothed up there. Take a breath. I used to be like you. German or bust. Thankfully, I've grown to appreciate a lot of different cars for what they are---and make no mistake, no car is perfect. And speaking of errors, your interpretation of the post you quoted is also wrong. That poster wasn't talking about the 911 Turbo cars, he is talking about a 992 Carrera S, which is slightly slower than a C8. As you may know, the current Carreras have a turbo in them, they are no longer NA. Do you know how much a Carrera costs? Tens of thousands more than a C8 with Z51 package. So from a value perspective, you're still getting WAY more performance in the Vette than in the vastly more expensive 911. And if you look at what most dealers stock, you aren't getting into a 992 CS for much less than $130k.
