[VIDEO] Consumer Reports Offers First Impressions of the 2021 Corvette

This Torch Red 2021 Corvette Stingray Z51 Coupe has been purchased by Consumer Reports for their automotive test fleet and today three of their automotive reviewers offered their first impressions of the car.

Consumer Reports hasn’t always appreciated the Chevrolet Corvette as much as we think they should, although their tune mostly changed to positive with the arrival of the C7 Corvette. CR’s first review of the C8 Corvette back in 2019 was also positive, so it will be interesting to hear what they have to say about spending more time in the mid-engine Corvette.

[VIDEO] Comparison of 9000 RPM Ferrari 458 to the C8 Corvette Z06

We know that yesterday’s spy video of the C8 Corvette Z06 utilizing Launch Control for those wide-open throttle runs got a whole lot of you very excited about what’s to come.
