Yes, it really is.

Especially the PHEV version - GT63 S E Performance

Or the one after the new one.

I guess if you're looking for a 4800 lb grand tourer....

Twin turbos, rear-wheel-drive, and more power than a Bugatti Veyron. Get excited.

Yea, I might need to consider this.

The problem with the C8 is - the interior. Uncomfortable to get in and out of, that giant stack with all the buttons next to the driver makes for poor legroom, etc.

Exactly. Never could/would buy an Aston new.

I actually disagree. I’m 6’3 200lbs and have owned both a regular C8 and a Z06. With the GT2 seats I had in both entry/exit was much easier than my T with LWBs. They are great cruisers and the Z06 was a monster on the track but it was fairly numb esp at the limit. Not to mention the build quality was complete **** and the panel gaps/finishing/quality of materials was exactly what you’d expect from GM. The Z sounded great at WOT though even though I would prefer a 4RS any day of the week.

Sadly if you're wanting a 911 experience nothing else really compares, closest was the 718 platform with the flat sixes.

Plenty of great cars out there like the C8, Astons, AMG GT's, Lotus Emira but none are really similar in character.
