Corvette Stingray Review

Hey guys,

I'm away on holidays and had the opportunity to review a car that I've never driven before and I quite liked it, it was a fun car to drive and heck it's well priced!

Corvette Stingray Review

Hi,,
The mighty Corvette truly competes with the world’s greatest sports cars, no excuses required. With a 6.2-liter V-8 making 455 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque (an optional sport exhaust is good for 460 hp and 465 lb-ft), an eight-speed automatic is now available in addition to the standard seven-speed manual. The Corvette sheds its unrefined reputation and has an interior befitting its stature. The Grand Sport is a 10Best winner, combining the LT1 V-8 with the Z06’s bodywork and chassis hardware. the chevrolet corvette Grand Sport might as well be twirling a butterfly knife at the intersection of Performance Avenue and Value Lane with a pack of unfiltered smokes rolled up in the sleeve of a plain white tee. It’s an intimidating thug from the Bowtie Gang that both outperforms and undercuts the competition. It’s a bully that goads others into street fights they can’t win and starts just as many brawls among friends (or co-workers if you happen to work here). Nothing at its price comes close to putting up the performance numbers it generates.

Okay, maybe there is one rival. Less than a year ago, a Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 knocked off a Z51-equipped Corvette Stingray in two up comparison test. This Corvette Grand Sport, though, is a slightly different animal. With all the Z06’s go-fast bits except for the LT4 supercharged V-8, the GS proves that power isn’t everything. Our test car also lacked the Z07 package (carbon-ceramic brake rotors, upgraded suspension, nearly racing-grade rubber) and the competition seats. Combined, those options add $9990 to the price of a GS. The good news? You don’t need ’em. This GS hung onto the skidpad at 1.13 g and stopped from 70 mph in a lung-collapsing 136 feet.
