Alpina B8 or Corvette C8

I know, seems like apples and oranges, but I'm going to make a move next July. I will either give up my 2016 640 GC and get an Alpina B8, or I'll keep the 640 and add a Corvette to my garage. I'm of two minds. I am very intrigued by the gentleman's rocket, a stealthy 201 mph missile (bragging rights, anyhow), but I also wouldn't mind a dedicated sports car for play while hanging on to my luxo-cruiser.

Also, the idea of being another old fart in a Corvette is something I struggle with.

Your thoughts?

As another old fart, I don't fault you for wanting a true sports car, but for me a C8 corvette would not be it. That car is way too overdesigned in my opinion, especially the rear end. "You're almost there boys, but add a few more pointless sharp edges and angles!"

Drive what makes you smile, but ride what makes you happy. Don't worry about opinions since they don't assist with your payments or outright purchase.

The C8 def borrowed some smooth rrari lines!

The 8 Coupe, Verts and Grand Coupe are already slated for the graveyard as of 2026.

Take out a C8 on Turo for the weekend, then flip a coin
