For those that asked about interior shots...plus some gratuitous driveway shots.

Buy the car that you would most like to get beat in. The other guy will always be faster.

That thing is sex. I love how they have broken from many Corvette cues and made new styling cues that now scream 'Corvette Stingray'. In my opinion this was a rare stroke of genius from GM.

You've been touching that touchscreen a lil bit, lol

Heh, the touchscreen does get dirty...I'm not sure I like a touchscreen for a car for that very reason. I love the MMI on my Audi, which really just uses the knob at your side to navigate. Less chance of losing your focus on the road if you're not having to look down to see where you press.

I was never a huge fan of the C5 and C6 from a looks perspective. Ass was too huge on those models, IMHO. My favorite version probably is still the C3 Stingray...and the 2014 Stingray does a good job of bringing a lot of those lines back.

I have to get a skip shift eliminator soon for it. Dealer doesn't have them.

If I ever had interest in a new Corvette I think that color (or yellow) would be my pick.

What other cars have you driven that you would say were similar in driving experience and power? (two seperate questions I know...)

The only things that were close were my 2010 Camaro SS (not modded) and I once had a Yamaha FJ1100. I've driven a 1984 Porche 911 (Not mine) which was probably the best handling car I've driven up until now.

The Camaro was a pretty good teaser for what the Stingray can do. Frankly, I have more confidence driving the Corvette because the handling is so much better. You notice the power, but not as much as the handling.
