The Corvette offers impressive performance, with a relatively comfortable ride and very capable handling. The interior is roomy for a sports car, but the seats and interior fit and finish should be far better given the Corvette's price, and some drivers found seat support lacking. The Z06 we tested is a bargain high-performance sports car. Its 505-hp V8 produced ferocious acceleration with an exhaust note to match, but the base car is plenty powerful. The supercharged, 638-hp ZR1 delivers super car performance. Reliability has dropped to below average of late. A redesigned Corvette will be unveiled in January as a 2014 model.
