Alfa Romeo 4C vs Corvette Stingray Z51
 

I post this here because I dont want a biased opinion from the vette and 4c forums. Either one means I will be parting with brz. Vette has manual, better performance, less bs to maintain. 4c is mid engined, raw steering, probably holds value better. 4c might gain extra lbs here and a fender bender to the cf monocoque could be a headache.

Honestly, I'd probably take the 'Vette, between those two options.

4C.

You won't come across that many mid engined cars in your life. A Vette can always be bought again, maybe this 4C will be rare...who knows.

This belongs in the off topic section.

I agree. 4C I really love that car. Also 50K for a mid engine mono carbon fiber tube ask me where will you find that.

Is it going to be your DD?

good catch.

4C. Its going to have a low production volume

family sedan + off roader available, but I rather DD a 4c or a vette, and a bike will be on the way. I just might DD a bike all summer. I wouldn't mind DDing an exige/elise if they were more readily available.

I'd say test drive a corvette, you might find yourself wanting a v8 in your life.

Can't test drive the new vette around here, wont even let me touch it.

Corvette. Better aftermarket, don't get me wrong I love the 4c, 2300 pounds, steering so refined there is no power steering.

But V8 over I-4 any day, and the Z51 package on top of the Corvette will still be 10k cheaper than a 4C. Plus Heads Up Display.

HUD is only available on 2LT trim, its over 70k specced this way with Z51 taking into account the recent price hike, and I personaly think HuD is a gimmick. The alfa should be less.

the 4c seems to fall short of its hype/price tag. do you want to pay for exclusivity? if not, buy the vette. or even better yet just buy a super low mileage c5 or 6 because there are loads of old dudes who dont drive the piss out of them and now they want the c7 in a bad way.

Price wise I'd say its okay around the 50-60k mark. Compared to the more hardcore lotus the 4c kinda suck. Too bad lotuses are hard to come by.
