  • The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a very impressive car; in part because it delivers so much exotic performance, for far less than an exotic price.

    Looking Good John. Great to see you've slimmed down. Been watching you since the 80's. Love the show, and keep it up.

    Best bang for the buck. $55k for that performance is unreal for a competitor of cars costing 3-4x as much.

    I was told that the long wait time is only for the Z51 models, the non z51 are about 2 months. Also time is running out on getting a 2014 model, apparently its going to be pretty soon where you can only get the 2015 model. Its a cool car, I'm glad they changed the styling, it looks good for once. I hope it drops the association of being an old guy's car.

    I watch a lot of Top Gear (U.K.) And Jeremy Clarkson is always bashing American cars for being made cheap and not being able to go around a corner. Well this car seems to be foreshadowing future American car designed especially stuff like Real Carbon Fiber and have a limited slip Dif. One thing they should of added is padel shifters just because they are the most effective way to see what a car is capable of.
    Good Job America... Your making true cars again!

      I have read that there is an option for a 5 or 6 speed paddle shift automatic trans, but all the test drives I have watched tested the 7 speed manual.

    they always have the slowest performance numbers you would think after all these years they would be one of the best at launching go figure.

    12.8 sec quarter mile seems a lot slower than normal… how is a 2016 Camaro ss faster if it has the same engine, transmission and weighs more

    • @TheHighestGodisGood
      @TheHighestGodisGood 10 месяцев назад +1

      The added weight plants the tires better off the line. The car in this video does 0-60mph in 4.05 seconds, in 70F ambient temps. The auto does 3.8.

      these guys can't drive for shit, it actually runs a 0-60 in 3.8sec and 11.8 1/4 mile and thats just common magazine test numbers, if you are a really good driver it can do better.

      No it's not lol... Motorweek's acceleration numbers always sucked. While you're at it learn the difference between the words "quicker" and "faster." Your Charger doesn't have the trap speed or the top speed of a C7 Stingray so it's not "faster."
