I have around 70ish thousand after splitting my total budget in half to include upgrades, taxes, track classes, consumables, etc… so that leaves me deciding between the new Corvette Stingray either 23 or 24 model and a lower end Cayman (The 2.0l) this is mostly going to be for backroad driving and track days but also would like to daily it sort of often, not over doing it. Just not sure how much power is in the 2.0l especially while be compared to the Vette. But definitely some mountain driving is at the top of the list for whichever car I go with.
Friend just went through this. Got a 2020 Cayman and loves it. Had several corvettes before. Said the Cayman is just a better drivers car and more fun. If you want raw speed/power the vette has it beat, but for joy of driving, usability, and just fun, he said cayman was the correct choice and he is glad he made it. I went from vette to 911 and my only regret is why I didn’t do it 10 years ago.
