because I don't think the P car's existence had anything to do with a lack of corner exit traction of Vettes.
I really don't want to be in a position to defend P cars though. So we'll take BMW M as an analogy to the P car.
M cars exist because they are nice to drive, nice to look at, nice to feel. And they're pretty fast when driven properly.
The Vette has always been stupidly fast. Now it will continue to be stupidly fast. But when people have 100k to spend on a car and plan to keep their license, besides some accelerations in onramps and some track days most of the time the car is on the road, where feel and perceived quality are much more important than 0-60 times.
Hopefully this is a great car and instead of getting a G80 for dedicated track use after the CS I can buy this but I'm not holding my breath. I have hope though!
