[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.

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. We are very much looking forward to seeing how the C8’s performance model will perform both on the track as well as for daily driving.
As we have discussed previously, we believe that Chevy’s engineers are testing both the Corvette Z06 and the ZR1 models concurrently and are using both the Ferrari 458 and the Porsche 911 GT2 RS as benchmarks against the performance C8 Corvette prototypes. But why is Chevy utilizing the Ferrari 458 model which is now twelve years old when Ferrari has already launched two successor models to the 458?
