The C7 Corvette combines amazing performance combined with tremendous value.
Much of its competition takes other paths to arrive at the performance end of that equation while not necessarily offering the value.
Cars in the Porsche 911 range can be considered values, but they are not as affordable as the Corvette.
The GT3 and 911 Turbo match up with the Z06, though, again, at much higher price tags.
Audi's R8 offers similar performance, though its all-wheel drive, mid-engine layout draws on a much different set of instincts and emotions.
Nissan’s GT-R isn’t the value it once was but now has some refinement, or at least isn’t as raw.
With a minimum of 565 horsepower, it's now best compared to the Z06.
Nissan older and less expensive 370Z sports car isn’t a match for even the base Corvette in terms of performance, but at least it is less expensive.
