The 2021 Chevrolet Corvette gets closer to the Porsche 911, but the 911’s engine sits behind the rear axle and two small rear seats provide a bit more space.
At half the price, the ‘Vette better competes with the Porsche 718 Cayman, but it lacks the unbridled V-8 power of the Corvette.
The Audi R8 and its mid-engine V-10 climbs into supercar heights and prices, while the front-engine Nissan GT-R with all-wheel drive compels for more year-round driving.
Poor sight lines be darned, the V-8 Camaro meets the Corvette halfway for half the cost.
