[QUOTE="V8 Goat, post: 1820015, member: 45370"] I think the value would be in the eye of the beholder / owner. I think we can both agree that if we were only considering the value of money or value for money, we wouldn't be talking about a new C8 or a Raptor. For how 95% of people use them, we could get something else that would accomplish 95% of same things for 50% of the cost. When I was a bit younger and lived in the city, I had all kinds of performance cars, including several Corvettes. But I live in the country now, and a C8 wouldn't do [I]any [/I]of the things I really need it to. It won't haul the family, pull a trailer, drive around my property to do work, offer pro-power on board, carry what I need from Tractor Supply or Home Depot, and it would struggle on some of the dilapidated country roads I drive every day to get to and from my house. Do I [I]need[/I] a Raptor? Of course not. But it's a far better value for [I]my [/I]money than a C8. And though my previous Vettes were always 3rd or 4th vehicles, they aren't practical for me anymore. So while they do offer a tremendous performance value for the price, it offers little value for me personally because it doesn't fit my lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
