, the fastest, most trackworthy Mustang yet that compromised some street manners for its track performance.
The eighth-generation Corvette looks more like a Ferrari than a Chevy, and it can stick its power to the pavement better than ever before. The interior materials are better than ever, too, and they match the $60,000 starting price.The change to a mid-engine design places the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT2 V-8 behind the cabin and moves 60% of the weight over the rear, which provides greater traction and quicker acceleration.
The change in form factor makes the new Corvette almost unrecognizable. It looks more like a Ferrari than an American icon. The exotic look is most evident in the side view where the cabin moves forward and the rear wheels flare dramatically behind large cooling ducts. Corvette cues are found up front, with a pointed nose, low-slung headlights, and a sculpted hood with flowing fenders.
