There was another thread on this exact topic recently. But the 718 definitely still has power - the turbo engine is no slouch with all that torque availability. Personally, I think the 718 is the easy choice of the two, but drive both and see what you think (probably can find both on Turo or something to get the full experience). I didn’t even consider a corvette when shopping for my car, it was basically either 981 or 718

This is for sale at a Kia Dealer near me. This one has been for sale for months and the price has been steadily dropping. I’d suggest a PPI or something before buying, perhaps some lurking issues there
