Here’s a new video from Austin Everett aka Speed Phenom who takes the occasion to compare the launch control functions on two of his favorite cars, the 2020 Corvette Stingray and the McLaren 600LT.
These two sports cars share a mid-engine configuration with dual-clutch transmissions, but that’s about the only similarities. The Stingray is naturally aspirated with just under 500 hp while the McLaren features twin-turbos with 600 horsepower while also coming in at 3000 lbs.

A new episode of “Why I Drive” on Hagerty.com dropped this week showcasing an Ermine White 1966 Corvette Coupe and the owner, Leslie Sisco. Leslie inherited the Sting Ray from her father who purchased the car in 1968, and it’s been in the family ever since. When her father passed away in 2016, she became its new caretaker.
It’s a fantastic owner story and the visuals from the video make this a must-watch for any Corvette enthusiast who understands how these cars are more than just a means of transportation…they are part of the family.
Don’t let that low base price of $60,995 for a 2021 Corvette Stingray Coupe fool you.
Most buyers can’t seem to resist adding lots of options to their new mid-engine sports car, based on recent data from Cox Automotive.
The National Corvette Museum just became the proud owner of a very rare 1996 Corvette Grand Sport, thanks to the generosity of two longtime members.
Larry and Carol Watkins donated their Admiral Blue (with full-length white central racing stripe) Grand Sport created by Chevrolet as a one-year-only model to help celebrate the end of the fourth generation.

On Monday we were the first to bring you the story of a Chevy dealer technician whose test drive of a customer’s C8 Corvette was captured on the Performance Data Recorder showing multiple instances of triple-digit speeds and even a race with a Dodge Charger that reached speeds of 148 MPH on a busy highway.
That video went viral pretty quickly and was picked up by multiple websites including GM Authority and Motorious before it was removed from YouTube Monday afternoon following a meeting the owner had with the dealership. A shorter version of the video is still available here.

We note from the description that it’s a custom build with a 327/300-hp engine and a 3-speed automatic transmission. It has been owned for five and half years and driven mostly on the weekends. That’s about it.
