Got to see one up close this weekend. I really think the C6 Z06 is a much better looking car. ---

The C7 is great, except for the exhaust ---

… > [@Big Boss"](#): > > **(Automobile Magazine)** > > **Automobile of the Year: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray** > > > Yes, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette is the Automobile of the Year. No, this was not a foregone conclusion. The Corvette may have a special place in the American automotive pantheon, but not every new Corvette has been a big deal. The C6, for example, was a conservative effort, a safe play that didn’t reach. The new C7, though, is something else. > > > This is a thorough redesign, and it starts with a new frame. Switching from steel to aluminum (previously only Z06 and ZR1 models used an aluminum frame), the C7’s frame structure is nearly 100 pounds lighter than the C6’s and considerably stiffer. The front and rear cradles – both aluminum – are also lighter and stiffer. The lift-off top remains, but it’s carbon fiber (as is the hood). The V-8’s 6.2-liter displacement is the same as before, but this is an all-new engine, backed by a new seven-speed manual transmission. There’s newfound sophistication in the chassis and an interior that makes no excuses to anyone. > > > The car’s performance is simply awesome. In today’s era of horsepower inflation, the big V-8’s 455 hp, or 460 hp with the performance exhaust, may not be numbers made for bar boasts – we’ll have to wait for the Z06 for that – but you get the impression that reaching some marketing-driven power figure was not the point. The point was to smoke tires, roar out of turns, and storm down the straights – oh, and do all that without quaffing unleaded. As it turns out, this new 6.2-liter proves to be highly effective at all those things. > > > With 460 lb-ft of torque (again, add 5 with the performance exhaust), the ability to fry the Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber is always there, just a push of the traction control button away. When you’re more interested in go than in show, the Corvette gets down and boogies. We clocked an 11.9-second quarter mile at 118 mph; 60 mph ticks by in less than four seconds. Launch control is available should you want to clock yourself, and there’s a function that will record your time so you can amaze your friends. Full-throttle blasts are accompanied by a race-car-worthy soundtrack trumpeting from the quad exhaust pipes, but under mellower circumstances the engine emits a muted yet purposeful rumble. > > > Even in a Corvette, you’re not always stomping on the gas, and this powertrain is just as rewarding in less aggressive driving. The new, seven-speed manual features creamy clutch action and a slick shifter. Without turbochargers to manage, the V-8’s throttle response is precisely predictable, and the long-travel accelerator pedal lets you easily mete out the exact amount of power. Despite the normally aspirated engine’s large displacement and potent output, a tall top gear and the ability to run on four cylinders (in Eco mode) help this muscular beast post EPA numbers that you won’t be ashamed to mention in polite company: 17/29 mpg city/highway for the manual, 16/28 mpg for the automatic. > > > The Stingray is a great car for going fast, but it’s also great for going slow. It’s great for going fast not because it goes faster, but because it’s now easier to drive it faster. The excellent steering comes by way of a system that Chevrolet says is five times stiffer and a wheel that’s smaller than before; the result is newfound precision that makes this big machine much more wieldy. The chassis incorporates the expected suite of computer-managed traction and handling aids, but what’s remarkable is how customizable they are and how deftly they perform their bacon-saving functions while still leaving so much of the car control in the hands (and feet) of the driver. There are five main modes, topping out in Track, into which you can delve further until you get to the level where stability and traction control are completely off. The optional and highly worthwhile Z51 package supplements all that with an electronically locking rear differential that constantly apportions torque from side to side, which allowed even the less skilled among us to power out of corners at GingerMan Raceway with confidence. This Corvette is not going to break away suddenly or snap around on you. There’s grace and fluidity here. > > > Accessibility is a theme running through the C7. Despite the sophisticated technology, this is not a cold, technocratic machine. It is a democratic sports car – and what could be more American than that? From the moment you press the hidden pad releasing the familiar electronic door latch and slip inside, the C7 presents a friendlier countenance. The driver’s relationship with his surroundings has changed. You’re no longer buried in the car, lost in a sea of undulating fiberglass, surrounded by cheap-looking plastics. > > > Forget all that. Your interaction with the C7 is as straightforward as a handshake. The ergonomics feel right; the switchgear is clear and functional; you can see out of the cabin; and the seats hold you comfortably in place. Yes, the Corvette really does have decent seats – and we haven’t even tried the optional competition buckets. It also has an interior worthy of a $50,000-plus sports car. The materials look and feel good, and the interfaces manage to be modern yet not gimmicky, a concept that more and more carmakers are finding elusive these days. > > > The interior design may actually be more successful than that of the exterior, which is the new car’s most subjective aspect and its most controversial. The styling is very busy, and the essential Z51 package adds even more in the form of spoilers and brake-cooling ducts. Against that, the new design does move the Corvette’s look forward at last, after three generations of stasis. And based on the reactions of our younger staffers and of the cell-phone-wielding paparazzi, the design also seems to resonate with a new generation. If the Stingray really can capture their imagination, then the Corvette might once again be seen on the coasts, not just in the middle of the country. > > > It is interesting that, in our days of driving and discussions, it emerged that the Corvette’s major rival for this award was the Cadillac CTS. Of all the new cars introduced this year – from brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus, Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, and many others – the top two contenders for Automobile of the Year were both from General Motors. General Motors, the bumbling giant, tied up in knots of bureaucracy and legacy costs, recipient of a much-vilified loan from Uncle Sam. Although many will never admit it, today’s GM is putting out some excellent products. We can’t help but marvel at the fact that they were developed under the darkest possible skies. Given the circumstances, we might not have expected a great new Corvette, but that’s exactly what we got. > > > The Corvette has long been a tremendous performance value wrapped in an all-American package. Now, however, with newfound sophistication and user-friendliness, the C7 should melt the barriers that have kept away so many driving enthusiasts. This is not just a car for the Corvette faithful but instead spreads the gospel to a new, wider audience. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a world-class car with no apologies to make, an expression of greatness from a town and a car company that have been dismissed as losers. It is also the Automobile of the Year. > > > Tadge Juechter, chief engineer of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, is Automobile Magazine’s 2014 Man of the Year. - - - Updated - - - … > [@Big Boss"](#): > > ![http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/gallery/black-corvette-stingray/2014-corvette-stingray-1.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/3/1/31ca0b109373f9d4802b00063757951af724a855.jpeg) > ![http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/gallery/black-corvette-stingray/2014-corvette-stingray-2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/6/76d4b0e0eaf7f7ce9051f71c70af8564c7fc4be8.jpeg) > ![http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/gallery/black-corvette-stingray/2014-corvette-stingray-3.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/5/4/54f5109c4e5e449a022d1e72ebd460254b3b1aa4.jpeg) > ![http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/gallery/black-corvette-stingray/2014-corvette-stingray-4.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/e/9e5383035047962f609a862fe66e2890d8e70c72.jpeg) > ![http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/gallery/black-corvette-stingray/2014-corvette-stingray-5.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/b/c/bc99c8e7e62ce9ad93b3e8d42cc8f1bce22e6da7.jpeg) > ![http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/gallery/black-corvette-stingray/2014-corvette-stingray-6.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/a/aa42552878de96b1d5154ec28877fe72076eed07.jpeg) > ![http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/gallery/black-corvette-stingray/2014-corvette-stingray-7.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/e/8/e8d037730be17cc558d7ffef4fe3c3857ffde077.jpeg) > ![http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/gallery/black-corvette-stingray/2014-corvette-stingray-8.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/0/e/0e96d55674356910fec61f02d682c30e2b1c5fa9.jpeg) > ![http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/gallery/black-corvette-stingray/2014-corvette-stingray-9.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/3/7/3722777aabbb37ad653b39240436e3cc5636a781.jpeg) > **Cyber Gray Metallic Chevrolet Corvette Stingray by Exclusive Motoring** > > > Exclusive Motoring have presented their latest project, a Cyber Gray Chevrolet Corvette Stingray! For this latest project, Exclusive motoring have fitted a set of Forgiato Wheels, f2.01′s measuring 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear with a two-tone finish. > > > Elsewhere, the car has also undergone a ‘stealth’ conversion. All chrome exterior trim has been painted to black as well as the badges and the exhaust pipes. The rear tail lights and front/rear side lights have all been smoked to match the theme. Finally, the car sits closer to the ground thanks to lowered suspension! > > > The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has been lauded by those that have driven it as thoroughly modern. Chevrolet essentially threw away the old platform and started from scratch. The Stingray therefore includes an LT1 6.2 litre V8 engine with 460 hp and a choice of 7-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Despite weighing more than the outgoing model, it performs better due to the increased power! ---

The announcement was made Wednesday during the LA Auto Show’s MPG Motoring Invitational Presented by Forza Motorsport 5 and Xbox One. > > > > An expert panel of judges, led by committee chairman John Dinkel, evaluated all nominated vehicles and created a group of 12 finalists. Those vehicles were then voted on by MPG’s journalist and analyst membership, who determined the winners by evaluating each car on innovation, technology, engineering, safety, environmental impact, price, affordability and value. To aid voters in their final decisions, MPG partnered with AutoHarvest to supply third-party information about any of the advanced technologies incorporated into the finalist vehicles > > > > **Under $29,000 Winner - 2014 Mazda Mazda3** > > As the winner in the under $29,000 category, the Mazda3 was recognized for affordable safety innovations, a refined, compact design, sporty vehicle dynamics and innovative high-compression, high-efficiency 4-cylinder gasoline and turbo diesel engines that are a result of the company’s SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY. These combined elements made the Mazda3 a stand-out competitor in a highly-competitive sector. > > > > “The 2014 Mazda3 is the compact car with a difference, and that difference is SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY,” said John Dinkel, IVY Committee Chairman. “This umbrella of advanced technologies focuses on increasing overall vehicle efficiency, through lightweight materials and improved design, while increasing responsiveness. SKYACTIV takes us down a path of a future of highly efficient yet fun-to-drive affordable cars, making the Mazda3 a worthy recipient of the IVY award.” > > > > **Over $29,000 Winner - 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray** > > The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray’s use of lightweight, high-tech materials, its remarkable fuel economy for a small-block V8 engine and invigorating design set it apart from other impressive vehicles in the $29,000 and over class. > > > > “The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette is an innovation and technology tour de force, resulting in a world class sports car with an unmatched combination of performance and value,” said Dinkel. “The car is race track developed, tuned and tested, yet it is as comfortable, refined and mild-mannered on the street as a Chevy Impala . . . until you mash down on the loud pedal. Finding this much technology and refinement in a sports car costing just over $50,000 is mind boggling.” > > > > “On behalf of all MPG members, I’d like to congratulate Mazda and Chevrolet on their IVY awards,” said MPG President, Aaron Gold. “We had an incredible group of contenders, but both MPG’s IVY panel of experts, which included John Dinkel, BJ Killeen, Rex Parker, Mark Rechtin, Greg Whale, Patrick Hong, and Nate Schroeder and our journalist and analyst members, agreed that these vehicles represent the year’s best in innovation.” > > > > The MPG Motoring Invitational Presented by Forza Motorsport 5 and Xbox One was an exclusive morning event that featured more than 60 unique, historic and significant vehicles and celebrated all aspects of Southern California’s car culture, bringing together some of the most interesting automobiles from influential icons, tastemakers, luminaries, collectors and celebrities for Press Day attendees to enjoy. > > > > **About Motor Press Guild (MPG)** > > The Los Angeles-based Motor Press Guild (MPG) is the largest automotive media association in North America, with more than 800 members.

The award is split into two categories: One for vehicles priced below $29,000 and one for vehicles priced at $29,000 and higher. > > > > Vehicles included in the 2013 awards were required to be on sale in the U.S. before January 1, 2014. Vehicles were evaluated and judged based on the following criteria: Overall innovation, technology and engineering, safety, environmental impact, price, affordability and value. Nominations were open to all MPG members-up to three for each price class. Manufacturers also nominated their own vehicles. A jury of expert MPG journalist members chose twelve finalists and final voting was open to MPG journalist and analyst members. - - - Updated - - - … > [@Big Boss"](#): > > **2014 Corvette makes Car & Driver’s “10 Best” List** > > **Chassis Masters: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray / Cadillac CTS** > [2014 10Best Cars – Feature – Car and Driver](http://www.caranddriver.com/features/2014-10best-cars-feature-chassis-masters-2014-chevrolet-corvette-stingray-cadillac-cts-page-4) - - - Updated - - - … > [@Big Boss"](#): > > Here you go Mr. Yoshi ---
