Chevrolet Corvette - Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

Accelerate Yellow is the exact right color for the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible.

I wasn’t sure of it at first. I prefer a hue with more orange in the mix, not the hint of green here. The mid-engined ‘Vette is already a busy, eye-catching shape, so this tester’s almost fluorescent paint just demands even more attention.

But that’s the point. If the story of the modern car is playing out on these city streets, then the Stingray is the highlighted passage you can’t miss. The C8 has bona fide supercar presence now, an exotic mid-ship experience at a (comparatively) affordable price. It’s even better in convertible form too, providing all that stunning performance with an extra helping of vitamin D.

With a Boxster’s low nose filling the rearview mirror, and the unmistakable tail of a Supra ahead, I half-expect the Stealers Wheel classic tune to start playing on the radio of the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.

Alright, I certainly don’t feel “stuck” driving this drop-top version of the current AutoGuide Performance Car of the Year. As work days go, threading Chevy’s hot new thing down a winding road, with managing editor Kshitij and photographer Harry as company, this is a high-water point.

We’ve assembled these three for a very specific purpose. The Toyota GR Supra, here in eye-catching A91 Edition form, represents where the Corvette came from: a reasonably priced, front-engined two-seater. Nipping at the Chevrolet’s four exhaust tips is the 2021 Porsche Boxster GTS 4.0. The Porsche plays in the same space as the new ‘Vette. It’s mid-engined, it produces its power without the aid of turbochargers, and it comes closer to the Chevy’s 495 horsepower—at least on paper. The turbocharged Supra is still an important foil though, as this one lists for less than an absolute base-spec C8 Stingray.

Can the Corvette defend itself on two fronts? We spent a day in the beautiful Forks of the Credit area to find out.
