Chevrolet Corvette Stingray: What We've All Been Waiting For

 

      Chevrolet have long teased us with a mid-engined Corvette. Though the Corvette we all know and love is a great sports car, Chevy decided switching the location of the Corvette's engine would greatly improve it's balance, handling, and ultimately, it's speed around a track. They also thought they could enjoy starting afresh with the design. They were on to something. The new Stingray (Code-named C8) is one of the purest sports cars you can buy right now. It's acceleration and top speed both jumped up 5 notches, and the new design looks absolutely gorgeous. You could see how the previous Corvette's design was getting over-aggressive, but they made the new one a thing of beauty, with a seamless silhouette communicating one thing: Speed. Motor Trend magazine praised Chevy for: "Creating a masterpiece on their first attempt" and saying: "Hallelujah! A real, honest to God, mid-engine supercar for the price of a Corvette! Good job, Chevrolet." Fittingly, they awarded the 'Vette their coveted Car Of The Year award. 

      The Stingray breaks multiple performance records, sprinting to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. Its top speed is also impressive, hitting 195 mph. If their was one knock on the previous Corvette, it was the cheap-feeling interior. This Vette has no such problem, the interior has high quality materials, and with more than a little swagger. I've written 2 paragraphs so far, and the Corvette seems like a genuine $1/4 mil. supercar. I have some news for you: the Stingray starts at ONLY $59K. No, this is not a typo, this is cheaper than a loaded Ford Explorer. I've said about many cars, (Nissan Kicks, KIA Soul, Mazda Miata etc..) but this is                                                                                                             truly the bargain of the year. Decade. CENTURY!
