As per the title deciding between the two, could use some input. The 911 would be CPO and is a 991.1.
The main pros/cons relevant to me for each:
911:
- All wheel drive
- Better sound system
- More practical (rear seats)
- Nimble
- Outdated tech (no HUD / Carplay)
- Older
C8:
- Cheaper (by about $45-50k)
- Front and rear trunk
- Cheaper maintenance costs
- Latest tech
- no AWD (not interested in the E-Ray)
If I got the C8 I would end up getting a 911 later on anyway when prices come down. If I got the 911 now I would probably modify it to add carplay and keep it for as long as I can.
Mostly the big tradeoff is losing awd on the c8 and the higher costs associated with the 911. Which would you pick?
Hey, this question was made for me. I LOVE corvettes. I’ve owned a C3 and a C6 and had a lot of fun. This month, I test drove several C8s and was ready to pull the trigger on the right one. I wandered over to kick tires on a few 911s which turned into me searching for more and more to a spec. And wow, i test drove the right one - a fully optioned low miles 991.1 C2S and it was game over. That was my car and was more fun and better feel than any corvette I’ve driven before (1979-2023s)… 911 as DD over vette any day EXCEPT for the tech. The C8 front lift, front and rear camera system, and camera mirror are pretty awesome but I have to say the sounds, drive feel, and practicality of the vette could not live up to a chrono sport+ drive in the 911. My quick and dirty 2 cents… i have to disclose my 991 is my pleasure and weekend car not a DD.
