When you\u2019re a middle-aged man out driving around in a Corvette, it\u2019s inevitable that some people may think you\u2019re compensating for something or trying to capture the spirit of your lost youth.<\/p>\n
That may be true to some degree, but that tired old clich\u00e9 really needs to be laid to rest.<\/p>\n
Fact is, the Corvette has evolved into a terrific sports car that rivals the storied brands from Europe when it comes to performance and it should be famous for that rather than as a sports car driven only by men who are past their prime and not ready to admit it.<\/p>\n
Corvettes are available in a few different flavors and they\u2019re all good.<\/p>\n
From the base Stingray to the hardcore Z06, Corvette models run the price spectrum from just over $55,000 to more than $84,000. They\u2019re all performance bargains but the Grand Sport may be the best all-around car of the bunch.<\/p>\n
It combines a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated motor that puts out 460hp and 465 lb-ft of torque with the more aggressive aerodynamic components from the Z06 as well as an upgraded suspension, slotted brake rotors and a track-ready electronic limited slip differential and dry sump oil system.<\/p>\n
