Maxichamp is right on. C3 Corvettes indeed left much to be desired in their stock form, however, anyone with the tiniest mechanical aptitude and a few greenbacks could easily double the stock horsepower and dramatically improve handling. Not a bad way to go. The Sting Ray body style is a classic.

"All is largely carryover, but a new power controller has bumped system voltage from 280V to 650V, resulting in better power delivery and a bit more torque out of the electric motors."

You know the old adage about the size of the pen versus the penmanship? Sure you do. People who flaunt power are usually overcompensating for something.

Things that Mustang buyers really want:

@Auto Insider:

According to all the car rags, the best year for any automobile is always next year.

@Almostbanned: I may be in the minority here, but I disagree with your main point.

@bzr used the word carpocalypse on a college paper:

@elwood: There indeed seems to be an overpopulation of twits on Jalopnik lately. Judging a book by its cover or a car by its badge are instant signs of ignorance.

@TetrisMaster:

Pontiac had moments of brilliance interrupted by decades of pathetic uninspired rebadged products.

This is actually a list of companies that have best matched their manufacturing rate to the buyer demand.

Compared with the Chevette or the creaky J-cars, Saturn was a (small) step forward for GM. It is absurd however that Smith couldn't work with his many existing brands, dealers, and workers to usher in a "different kind of car". He blew over $6 billion just to create the plant in Spring Hill and market the new…

This new Allroad looks better than ever! Great to see a right-sized active vehicle with performance and fuel economy like this.

In democracies, didn't we used to call these people "commissioners" or "ministers" or "meddling kids"?

Just one choice?

Tragedy!

Where are all the Japanese fanboys today? If it's made by Honda, it must be perfect. Why can't you guys see this???
