Did somebody get bored or something and got a little carried away with the rear?

This is so true. When I used to go to the track, I spent a fair amount of time in a Z06 back to back with a 996TT on the same day. The Z06 was truly 80% of the 996 but half the price. And yeah, no way was I using that last 20%.
And of course the C8 will look like a Ferrari. The C7 design was such a copy I was surprised there wasn't a lawsuit!

many is a real stretch, maybe that was true 50 years ago when you got your licence but these days that vast majority of Porsche owners do not go anywhere near a track.
The corvette is a great car and has its spot in history as the 911 does, the 911 took a far greater hit with the reliability of the m96 on its name than corvette ever did. The M96 was an admittedly " built to a price" engine by Porsche and dollars spoke more than engineering when the Japanese stepped in to help save the company from itself. Problems exist today with Bores scoring just at the tip of the iceberg.
So lets not show a bunch of juvenile douchbaggery and enjoy all enthusiast cars for what they are.

If you have a nice car you find ways to go and drive it.
I agree, honestly the C5 Z06 is best bang for the buck but it is butt ugly. I have always liked the C6 but I love the C7. Hopefully the C8 doesn't change that much from the C7.
If I were to get a new car though, I think the Mustang GT350 R is a great looking and capable car, probably would be where my money went.

Watched a bit of it online last night. Can't say I'm surprised that finally they went with a mid engine design. It was just a matter of time. The beginning was when they put the transmission in the back (like the 928) and not the next logical step was to move the engine to the proper place.
