Specifications
This car is enough to make you want a mid-life crisis. The 400-hp Corvette is a rocket and gets decent mileage considering its muscle, but that isn't the real story of this redesign. This is simply the most refined 'Vette ever. To wit: A power softtop, a surprisingly calm ride, generous cargo space and a quieter, richer-looking cabin.
Big problems are the annoying keyless entry system and, for automatic buyers, a mediocre four-speed that lacks manual-shift capability (a must). But overall, even if this convertible can't match the sophistication of, say, the Porsche 911 Cabriolet, it delivers more power and incredible performance for $35,000 less.
