The C7 Z06 and ZR1 were just itching to kill you at the limit because of how traction limited they were.
And this car with this engine wouldn't be in my garage right now if there weren't any car enthusiasts at GM or limited by the bean counters. If the bean counters determined the engine for the C8 Z06, the LT6 would be a mid-engined adapted LT4 like the LT2 is a mid-engine adapted LT1. It wouldn't be bespoke.
C8 being for kids is what Corvette needs or do you want it to die with your generation? Notice the great reduction of the average age of Corvette owners since the C8 came out?
I am not saying you need to like the C8, but it has done a lot of good for the Corvette brand.

It’s a great performance car. They made a great car. I’ll never question that. It is a fantastic imitation of a Ferrari for 1/3rd the price. Put them next to each other and you see where they wanted to take the car.
It’s just not a Corvette. The true American Corvette died in 2019
