Should i get a corvette or a porsche

We give the a slight edge, though, when it comes to overall driving engagement. The Porsche shines in its performance, but its interior technology let us down. It does not offer Android Auto compatibility, and some of our experts find its touchscreen and control knob a bit of a reach. The Corvette also offers a better-sounding stereo system in its base form.

An in-car vehicle data and video recorder, which you can use at racetracks for high performance driving, comes standard on most Corvette trim levels too. This newest Corvette is more comfortable than ever too. On the highway, the is a bit noisier than the standard Corvette, and its engine can sound a little rougher at lower speeds.

The offers similar comfort no matter which variant you decide to purchase. Yet one key advantage the has is a rear seat.

The Corvette is a two-seater only. Porsche offers more in the way of customizing options, such as special colors and configurations, but those again further boost the price. Edmunds says: It was a close race, but the Corvette beat out the and even earned the Edmunds Top Rated award for best sports car. It does so by offering astonishing performance, a premium interior and excellent on-road comfort at price that significantly undercuts the Home Automotive The Chevrolet Corvette vs.

A trip down the street to the store in a Corvette feels like a wasted opportunity, but the same trip in a is a drive. Which is best? That depends on your perspective. The Corvette may seem loud and crude by comparison; some of its engine technology is downright rudimentary compared to the The certainly delivers a thrilling driving experience, but it does so with a grace and elegance to which the Corvette simply cannot even aspire.

The shifter's short throws tuck into gear with just the right snap. The 4. We drive a lot of cars, and there isn't one in recent memory that is as good in the corners as this Cayman is and still comfortable enough to drive daily. A GT4 without the boy-racer wing would be even better. Beating the cheaper, quicker, more powerful Corvette is a feather in its cap, and we suspect it's going to collect a lot more.

There is little doubt in our minds that, dollar for dollar, this is the best car of , but it is also one of the best and purest sports cars Porsche has ever made. Chevrolet Corvette Z Grattan is a tight 1. On our day of lapping, it was well over 90 degrees and the track was very greasy.

Given that, these aren't the fastest laps on record, but they are comparable. The GT4 peaked on the straight at The greasy surface made braking into Turn 1 tricky. As we pushed the braking point a few feet farther, we found both cars nearly out of control. Backing off a few feet on the next lap felt like we had slowed way too soon. We got it right on the Vette's fast lap, giving the Chevy an early lead. In this off-camber downhill blind left, the GT4's more neutral balance helps it turn a little better and get up the hill quicker, making up what was lost in the braking zone on the front straight.

Lateral acceleration is about the same for both cars here, at 1. After the jump, the right-left-right-left-looooong-right combination is essentially a wash. The GT4 carries a little more speed at the apexes, but that's countered by the Vette's thrust. And the GT4 is caught between gears before the carousel-like Turn 8. Second gear is needed, but it'd be nicer to stay in third to prevent another downshift.

The GT4 just barely wins the sprint to the slowest corner with a The wait through this roughly mph turn is torturous; neither car feels in its element going this slow. The GT4 soaks up the reverse corkscrew—a right-left climb with a big dip at the apex of the initial turn—much better than the C8. Then it's a dead-even drag race down the straight. We suspect the Corvette's fractional lead at the finish line would widen at cooler temperatures, as its more street-friendly Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber felt more compromised by the heat than the Cayman's Pilot Sport Cup 2s.
