A few years ago, we launched an initiative to help the Corvette-obsessed better “know the enemy.” The resulting feature, which we dubbed Scouting Report, has only run on the rare occasion that the increasingly narrow-focused automotive market actually produces a new ‘Vette competitor. Because GM has elevated its halo model far beyond former sports car rivals like the Nissan Z and Toyota Supra, the majority of these posts have been dedicated to Porsches, with an odd benchmark Ferrari and a 760-horse Mustang thrown in for good measure, but they have all been done after the pertinent specs were released. This edition is a little different as it marks the end of an era, and we want to give all interested parties an opportunity to learn about the vehicle in question, along with us, in real-time. Its ramifications will be far-reaching!
