it is not worth it, objectively a base C8 is the best performance for the money BUT if we all made decisions based on objectivity we would be car pooling in a share Toyota Camry. Most of us have done at list something right in life to be in a position to choose between 100K car and 150K car, so pick based on what will bring you joy, subjective joy, the joy you feel, that does not require an explanation because at the end of the day, most of us are men, and we don't always make the right decisions but yet some how make it to the end with some fun along the way.
