Had an opportunity to drive a Chevy corvette. I have to say that I was impressed. The Power, handling and over all performance was AWESOME! Once you lower yourself into the Corvette’s depths, the experience was quite remarkable This particular Corvette has all the bells and whistles in sports cars. The seats are remarkably comfortable yet firm for those who expect the harshness of a racing bucket. Power windows express down and glide up, the vanity mirrors are brightly lit, and the steering wheel telescopes for your individual fit.

The dash is perfectly practical, functional, and cleanly designed. There’s no room for a GPS but who needs to know where you’re going behind the wheel of this icon right? It’s the journey that matters, not the destination. However, the driver information center is filled with information in several different languages and displays your cruise control setting, trip odometer, tire pressure, and fuel. While I’m a fan of HUD (head-up displays), the pop-up headlights.

Once you stomp on the gas you can you can really feel its 350 horses surge. The 5.7-liter V-8 engine is just a monster ready to let loose. This one has manual transmission and it was very impressive. The car sticks like glue if you suddenly decide to take a corner fast, thanks mostly to the Magnetic Selective Ride Control introduced on 2003 models.
An active handling system, it is computer-controlled to help you maintain directional control if you’re foolish enough to take this beautiful car onto uneven terrain. The damper design controls wheel and body motion for a flatter, quieter ride and gives you the confidence to keep the throttle down on curves because the handling is precise and responsive. According to Chevrolet, which has such confidence in the system it does not install side airbags into the 2004 Corvette, the system isolates and smooths the action of each tire, and on bumpy or slippery roads, integrates with traction control to provide high-speed stability.
Beautifully balanced, tremendously powerful, and more comfortable than a car this performance-oriented deserves. You should get one or at least try to test drive one.
