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. |
