Rank them in order of your favorites: 4c, M2, Stingray, Cayman. I realized the GT350 doesn’t “compete” with these cars. It’s actually in the same category as the 370Z Nismo and Camaro 1LE. However, one hasn’t been updated while the other isn’t out yet. This means the regular GT350 will have a lot of hype, but it will die down as newer cars (that are currently benchmarking it) join the market.

4C, Cayman, Corvette, M2. The Cayman and the Corvette are basically tied, though. The M2 is cool and all but I’d rather have an actual sports car.

Corvette, Alfa 4C, Porsche, Bimmer.

But there's a big difference between the first two and last two.

1: 4C- uncommon, exotic name, exotic materials, mid-engined, manual steering, no mufflers, Italian

2: M2- uncommon, famous BMW I6 engine, flared wheel arches, manual transmission, classic BMW giant slayer

3: Corvette Stingray: Famous GM V8, tons of power, manual transmission, naturally aspirated

4: Cayman: Famous flat-6 (for now), manual transmission, naturally aspirated, mid-engined

Though, I wouldn’t kick any of these cars out of bed so to speak

Alfa for looks. Corvette for value. M2 for cool factor. Cayman because I can’t afford a 911.

Honestly, if the 4C came with a manual, I’d be all over that. The Corvette is too agressive for my liking; it’s cool and all, but it looks ON all the time. The Cayman is fine; like, it’s great, but I hate how the backend looks - visually it’s pretty meh. But I can see myself owning an M2; it’s low-key, pretty darn quick, and has the charm of an import.
