Here’s what we said about the mid-engine Corvette in our first driving review:
“The Corvette Stingray we drove at Spring Mountain, pictured above, equipped with a Z51 track pack. It adds an electronic limited-slip differential, the Brembo is larger brake with four-piston monobloc brake calipers, enhanced cooling, Michelin Pilot 4S sport tires, specific axle ratios, performance exhaust, front splitter and two-piece rear spoiler together generate 400 pounds of downforce, and track-tuned FE3 suspension (base is FE1 and without FE2). changing springs, swing bars, dampers and electronic calibration. You can enhance all of that with the optional $1,895 FE4 magnetic suspension, a larger spoiler, and a pair of upgraded seats. While we didn’t get a chance to try the $1,495 midsize GT2 seats, we recommend trying the $1,995 premium Competition Sport seats before ordering – both drivers. Your Autoblog test controls are on slim top and found the bottom of the seat to be uncomfortably pinched. The standard GT1 seats (pictured below) were fine in that respect and still offered adjustable side rails that kept us well positioned on the track. The low roll and roof construction also causes headroom issues for this pair of six-legged riders, especially with race helmets.
“A lot of information is that the C8 does not have a traditional manual transmission, but it also does not have a traditional automatic transmission. Honestly, the two wouldn’t fit into what is really a mid-engine supercar has a blitzing ability from 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds. On the track, the new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission developed by GM and Tremec is smart enough to shift gears at the right time most of the time, but still has some gearshift and timing options. strange to need to pull the oars. . That almost never happens when using the most aggressive settings of the Porsche PDK or Mercedes AMGmanual, but this is a critique regarding the level of excellence. GM and Tremec should be applauded for their efforts.
“So does the fat Brembo brakes of the Z51 package. That pedal itself is also nicely placed for the left foot brake, which cannot be said for Porsche.”
