"The Stingray moniker has been lying in wait for a new model worthy of it for some time now, and the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is very worthy. What began as a fine example of classic American Muscle has evolved into something closer to a supercar. The C7 Corvette is superbly refined and, when combined with its American V8 thunder, the end product is stunning; so much so that it may draw some serious looks from those who otherwise wouldn’t consider anything outside of Stuttgart of interest. The performance-per-dollar value of the Corvette has always been a huge appeal, but this time GM has left nothing amiss. The body recalls the classic Corvette form, but has a bit of Maranello thrown into the mix. Mechanically, the C7 has the most horsepower to ever arrive from GM, electronically-controlled steering, and a perfectly balanced 50/50 weight distribution. Sometimes change can be difficult, but when it comes to the new Stingray, it is a very good thing indeed."—Official description[1]
