[TEST DRyVer]

I have a feeling this is wasted time on my part as we all do what we want to, especially when we really have our mind made up, but here goes:
I work for Porsche. The upcoming C8 is a great idea, possibly even overdue. The idea of buying a first generation mid-engine car from a brand that's never made one (please don't give me a history lesson on what GM has done in racing or a car they poorly made 6+ decades ago) is not ideal! I would wait this one out. Pick up something else in the meantime if you have your heart set on a sports car (preferably something pre-owned with really high resale value. Think 2016 Caman GTS or Cayman GT4 for example). Once the bugs have been worked out (I'm guessing 2 years), then jump into your dream C8. This is nothing like C5 going to C6 or C7. This is an entirely new engineering concept for them. There will likely be an extremely high amount of problems before they properly learn how to make a production mid-engine sports car... Just my $.02
I know people have been waiting a long time for them to build this, and they will likely sell several in the first year, but I would be willing to bet $$$ that Chevrolet rushed the process and the reliability for the first year cars will be off the charts...
