Let's see how that Z06 does. Or better, compare the C8 Z06 to a 4 cylinder, base 718 and then make fun of Porsche.
They will probably compare the Z06 to the GT3 in which case the outcome may be similar. The issue here is not that the C8 lost to the Cayman (it only lost by one point so that might not even be a "lost" IMO), but the way it lost to the Cayman.

The issue here is they use the word like "antiseptic and numb feeling" to describe the C8 characters but hopefully the Z06 will address that.
Which is my point. No one gets excited about a 718 non-S, or even a 992 stripper. And comparing a Z06 to the GT3 will continue to be absurd as one is nearly double the cost of the other. The Z06 will clearly be more capable than the GT4 for less money.
