Reviews SummaryZora Arkus-Duntov. That name is to Corvette enthusiasts, what John Bonham is to Led Zeppelin aficionados. As far back as the late 1950s, he suggested to General Motors that the Corvette should be a mid-engine sports car. But that decision would have been costly and GM was just fine keeping the ‘Vette profitable. There was a rumor that the C7 Corvette was supposed to have a mid-engine layout, but the recession of the 2000s shut the plan down. Almost 25 years after his death, Arkus-Duntov’s dream came to fruition in the form of the 2020 C8 Corvette. In moving the engine to behind the driver, the Corvette got an instant boost in performance. It was faster and more dynamic, but there was more to it. The mid-engine placement made the new Corvette less like a step up from the Camaro and more like a world-class exotic car—think Porsche 911 or even a Ferrari or Lamborghini. But elevating reputation also elevates expectations. Does the mid-engine 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray live up to its newfound supercar reputation? Read on to find out. | |
Reviews SummaryFour years after the Toyota Supra’s revival, fanatics (and paying customers) finally get what they deserve. Although the Supra has been a performance standout thanks to its balanced weight distribution, precise steering, and available six-cylinder engine, the lack of a manual transmission has kept it off shopping lists for anyone looking for an engaging, involved driving experience. For 2023, Toyota has finally sourced a manual transmission worthy of the Supra. The automotive landscape is better for it. | |
