Holy s**t. Holy s**t. I knew the 2014 Corvette would be good. I didn't expect it to be this good. Nearly everything is dead on. The gearbox is bliss, even the gimmicky rev match feature. Turn in is crisp and it has loads of grip.

I need a lot more time in one, but I'm far more impressed with the Vette than I ever was with the C6 Grand Sport I drove last year. It's an epic achievement. Can't wait to get a proper test in the car.

All I can say is WOW and hurry the heck up delivering these cars!!

Hey Riley....that's assuming you will still fit into one.....LOL...Fitzy

I'm pretty sure my wife will make sure I will still be able to fit into one. She's already reduced my Coke habit from what it once was.

Yes, but your burger habit.............tsk tsk tsk.

 

[Riley P]

Hey! My burger habit is just fine, it's just the burger pushers that are ruining it for me. Mmmmmmmmm Fudd's!

That just makes me giggle! I had a 20 minute teaser of a test drive when I drove one in Florida last month! I have not had a full nights sleep since! Hopefully in April or May I will get a good nights sleep when mine arrives, though I will likely be sleeping in the car!

Looking forward to a full report!

I am in the industry and the new StingRay is not easy to get. We have a couple coming in and bought orders get pushed to the front. Amazing how they could make such huge improvements.

Will the Canadian Stingrays have the infamous "300 mph" speedometers like the C5's and C6's?

That would be awesome!!
