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.

Not wanting to get into any type of debate, but I infinitely trust my Corvette in reliability over any of the BMW's I have owned. Now granted that is the only GM product I have owned, so I can't comment about the rest.
I have had "M" cars...now I daily drive a lowly 128i. But I feel more confident in taking a road trip in the Vette vs. the 128i just because of potential WP issues...and all of that maintenance has been done. But it's still in the back of my mind.
I won't even get into the N54 issues as I have plenty of friends with them, and they tell me it's a love/hate relationship.
I had the chance to do the "M" driving school last December. I will be the first to admit the M2C was probably my favorite out of all of them.
But since my cars are paid off and I will be spending cash on my next one, it will be the C6 that gets sold and a C7 that I will buy.
But I do love German cars!
