FWIW I agree with you. Even if the Z4 performs and drives like a Corvette (it won't) I'd still take the Jag.

Really, at that price, why wouldn't you get a Vette anyways? Sure, the Jag looks better but the Vette (esp. Grand Sport) looks fantastic, has way more performance and demolishes them with lower weight, more power, better acceleration, more grip, better brakes, etc.

For the price I'd buy another s2000, and a new 2019 Miata, and lots of tires. But since you asked, I'd take the Jaaaag!

The Corvette is a better sports car than the Jag or BMW; I don't think you'll find many objections to that.

I won't deny the 'vette has some image problems, but man oh man the C7 is just so, so good. It more than makes up for it.
