Hi all, I’m deciding between a Cayman 718 and a Corvette C8 for backroads and track days, and probably just driving around to do daily activities just to have some fun. It’s hard for me to make a decision given that the Vette has the power and the cayman has the handling. What other factors should I be thinking about?
I’ll play the other side. Currently on my 2nd 2023 1LT Z51 C8. Been debating switching to 718 as well. Where I struggle is the price difference between the two. It’s really hard to beat the corvette value wise. I’ve absolutely loved mine. 0-60 it’s fantastic and they handle great with mag ride + Z51 suspension. One major perk for me that I haven’t seen mentioned is all C8’s have removable hard tops which can be stowed in the trunk. You can fit two sets of golf clubs back there as well (if you leave the top on). I love the interior of the C8, it’s extremely driver focused, latest tech with full digital dash. I have no fit and finish issues with it at all. I’d argue the C8 looks much more expensive/exotic than a 718. As others have stated they are very different cars and it depends what kind of driving experience you’re looking for. It would just be difficult for me to lose that straight line acceleration when switching to a price comparable 718 model. Can’t go wrong either way!!
