This is the greatest Vette ever. True, the Z06 is mind-bogglingly impressive, and the Stingray is wonderful.
But I grew rapidly addicted to the combo of the 8-speed, the V8, and the suspension dynamics. Over and over again, I let the revs climb slowly north on the tachometer, feeding in a flow of throttle, then abruptly increasing my input. BOOM! The back end LOCKS DOWN, the front rises slightly, and you're off like you've been fired from a howitzer. The power is sweet and honey smooth, but there's so much of it.
