Driven: 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Is An Engineering Marvel

The mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette has been with us for a few years, but it has somehow eluded this reviewer until now. That means you're getting a fresh view of one of the most important sports cars to hit the road this century. Chevrolet has built a mid-engined sports car without compromising on using traditional Corvette V8 power for a starting price of $64,200. If the performance were only middling for a mid-engined car while being reliable and relatively inexpensive to maintain, that would still be one hell of a feat of cost-based engineering. Except the Corvette Stingray isn't middling in performance, and we know GM LT engines are solid and reliable performers. In one package, you have the looks of a European supercar, the sound and reliability of iconic Chevy muscle, and performance to match both facets, all at the price of a luxury midsize sedan.

Supercar Looks

The debate is still ongoing on whether the current Corvette fits into the supercar or sports car bracket. We'll leave that for the commenters, but there's no denying the Corvette's supercar looks owing to the center-positioned engine. The front is all classic Corvette, if a little shorter than usual, while the back shuns having a short rear deck to create extra storage behind the engine. Some say it throws the proportions off, but the counter to that is that form should follow function, and the added space is a worthwhile function.
