There is already a modern NSX and it looks quite a bit better than a C8, in my opinion. I find the C8 looks better in person than it does in pictures but it definitely has some awkward details and angles. I think the Z06 looks the best of all.
I do wish the NSX had the C8 drivetrain(s), if only for the sake of simplicity. The latest NSX is awesome to drive and it's an everyday supercar, but it needs a little more "flash" and emotion to truly make it special. It's very quick, very capable, very comfortable, and very nice to look at but it's lacking the emotional element of sound (in particular) that is needed for a car at this price point.

So, all in all, I'm quite happy overall with the quality of the C8, especially at the $70kish price point I paid for my 1LT Z51 '24.

I wish the NSX came with just a MR ICE 6MT config, then it'd be perfect. Seriously, just drop the hybrid drivetrain, give it a manual, and spend every last effort to making it sound remotely good and I think it'd be a winner, and the kicker is that they might even be able to charge the same amount of money. The whole appeal of the original NSX is that you get an exotic that doesn't give you the headaches or concerns.
I really like the look of the C8, but I might be biased. Of course, there's a few overwrought details, cut corners, but what else is new with GM? Overall, i think they did a nice job. I still remember looking closely at a Lambo Aventador several years ago at a car show and was shocked to find the lower grille inserts were all plastic. A $400k+ car and it was cheapish looking black plastic. I think the side intakes were also black plastic too. I couldn't believe they couldn't do better for that money.
So, all in all, I'm quite happy overall with the quality of the C8, especially at the $70kish price point I paid for my 1LT Z51 '24.

Modern "automatic" transmissions combined with huge horsepower can produce some great statistics.
Stick shifts even with nannies require more skill and involvement and are more fun.
Isnt fun the point?

Think about it. Making coffee, manually, is so easy and effortless, yet many idle in the the Starbucks line every weekday morning. It’s the world we have to live in today

Nah, 0-60 and 1/4 metrics is the point, and quoting lap times, on the internet. Meanwhile the car will never see a corner in anger in its life unless you count going sideways out of a Cars and Festerment hood up meet

I “treat” myself to Hawaiian grown coffee every morning for way less than what *f’s cost. Place is a joke. Now if you got a local ma and pop coffee shop in the neighborhood where you live, I get that 100p. But once it’s some corporate chain bullshit, you lose me. I treat myself every day eating as clean as I can, lifting every weekday night and maintaining my health. If you need *f’s, or the like, to maintain relevance in society, I think the money would be better spent on a critical thinking 101 course at some uni, or a shrink. YMMV.
