I personally see “corvette” guys jumping all over this. On paper it seems like the best corvette to date-
Mid engine will likely allow extra weight over the rear axle so you can actually put the power down. I’ve even heard whispers about an AWD variant-
I also see Porsche converts buying this as an alternative to a P car (when sales used to move the other way).
Rennlist (the Porsche forum) has a lot of folks talking about getting their deposits back from Porsche on GT4s and pursuing this instead.
Hopefully it is reliable and built with good longevity
