The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a very impressive car; in part because it delivers so much exotic performance, for far less than an exotic price. But, also because that performance doesn’t keep it from being a very comfortable street driver. Still, this new Corvette needs a race track to really show what it’s made of. And fortunately for us, GM sent us this Laguna Blue coupe for a little further research.
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is already an unqualified success. As we go to air with this test, there is already a 6-month waiting list. Thus to say they least, they are hard to get. So we were very pleased when this C7 was delivered just so we can get some serious track time to see if it fully lives up to its potential.
Our exam took place on the Shenandoah Circuit at Summit Point Motorsports Park, and having never driven this particular piece of West Virginia asphalt, the Stingray proved to be a willing companion to learning a new track, as that friendly nature that we’ve always praised, remains.
The track is tight with not too many places for the 'Vette to really stretch its legs, but it still made easy work it. The standard Active Rev Match feature that comes with our cars 7-speed manual transmission was certainly appreciated for easing our way into the track’s many corners.
