Hmm, could be okay. Germans love tuna on theirs and yet people want them to build their cars.
Aside from price, the Cayman is a much better daily than any of those. Supremely compliant suspension (if we're not talking GT4) and lots more storage space than all but the M2. Plus I can't think of a track that it wouldn't just walk away from all three of those, even if down on power quite a bit. They're brilliant cars and if I didn't need a back seat, there'd be one in the garage.IMO for a daily driver, new while going with a coupe -> I think that M2 / Supra / 400Z is more the range for the price. I think the C8 has gone into this odd, 'affordable exotic' space with the Cayman.
I suppose the 3-4 months out of the year we have snow is a factor, and would require a 2nd car for both the Cayman, C7 and C8. Can you drive them in the winter? sure...Aside from price, the Cayman is a much better daily than any of those.

More comfortable, they're really a great balance between sporty and refined. The frunk is massive and the space behind the seats is pretty useful too. They aren't as good in the snow as a 911 since they don't have as much weight on the back tires, but they're no slouch either and Porsche offers comically thin wheels for winter too. Remember that in Germany it's the law that you have winter tires from Oct - Apr and many cars are on steel wheels all winter long. Spring is awesome to see real wheels come back out. GTS is certainly the best option right now, no one wants that goofball four with it's side order of lag.I suppose the 3-4 months out of the year we have snow is a factor, and would require a 2nd car for both the Cayman, C7 and C8.

What makes the Cayman a much better daily driver than the Supra or 400Z? I wouldn't consider one until a GTS / optioned Cayman S for a daily driver, if climate isn't an option
one for the bitches and one for the doughFor what C8s are selling for, you could probably buy 2 Mk8 Golf Rs.
100k what? Half dollar coins? There are a number for under $70k on Cars.You will not be able to buy the vet for under 100 k
.There are people that actually drive Smart cars.

There were more when I posted that, but shsn't production been stopped due to the chip shortage? We're talking about a Z51 Corvette, not a Z06 or ZR1. Historically there's been no real markup on a base model Corvette outside of the first model year and even then, $10k would be a large markup outside of all but a few markets. You can make a $100k base model if you throw every option at one and pay a little markup, but I'd guess that there haven't been more than a dozen six figure base Corvettes and obviously none of them will ever approach that value on the used market.There are 6 nationwide, two of the 8 listings are 'Call for price' .
Six is absolutely a number, but it's a small number and I would bet $10 most of these are going to have last minute dealer "market adjust" added to the price.
