"So it has been shouted on magazine covers and on TV shows that there's a new Corvette and it's awesome. The news from Bankrate's road test is that the enthusiast press hasn't been lying.
In almost all regards, the 2005 Corvette is a perfect sports car, even overcoming some of the impracticality inherent in a two-seater. After spending a week behind the wheel of a yellow coupe, trying very hard to spot faults, the only regret was when the car had to be returned to Chevrolet.
At the heart of every Corvette is the engine, and the new 6-liter all-aluminum V8 is the best all-around engine ever in a Corvette. It makes 400 horsepower, which launches the Corvette to 60 miles an hour in about 4.5 seconds -- less time than it takes to read this sentence. On an open track and with a driver who's got the nerve, the Corvette tops out at 186 mph. It's equally fast with the six-speed manual transmission or the four-speed automatic, either of which is a no-cost option."
