As a 2-passenger, high-performance machine, the Chevy Corvette isn't for everyone. It lacks the refinement, build quality and technological sophistication of some of the imports, but it's big, powerful, fast and stylish. Mainly, though, it's a Corvette. Most people who buy one do so for its image rather than to actually use all that performance. That's why the great majority of Corvettes are sold with automatic transmissions, a sure sign their drivers are interested in style first and performance second. But style is an important part of sports-car ownership, and that's why the Corvette is strong in this suit. Beyond that, of course, this is an all-American classic. And if a Corvette is what you really want, nothing else will do. There's no substitution. |
