Track Test: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a very impressive car; in part because it delivers so much exotic performance, for far less than an exotic price.

[@MrPaquito619]

This Vette still kicks arse!

[@The305Garage]

Looking Good John. Great to see you've slimmed down. Been watching you since the 80's. Love the show, and keep it up.

[@donavanglasser9247]

I've watched other reviews of this car and it ran high 11s and now 12s

[@zzrGUY12]

Best bang for the buck. $55k for that performance is unreal for a competitor of cars costing 3-4x as much.

[@MLProductions.1]

straight up. gms comming out with great cars lately. the ss is dam sexy and for 43k u get it fully loaded theres no options. cant wait to buy a used one

[@Fieldzy14]

Pushrod/OHV! Not DOHC. Huge typo!

[@labigq]

Love that Vette!!!

[@gigi9467]

The last affordable corvette...

[@PortersGarage]

You were right.

[@gigi9467]

@@PortersGarage lol not often i hear that

[@dabusiness6348]

they always have the slowest performance numbers you would think after all these years they would be one of the best at launching go figure.

[@MVF2024]

Da Business motor trend and car and driver testers must be better...

[@ITRIEDEL]

Da Business it’s called elevation.

[@zzzhuh]

I watch a lot of Top Gear (U.K.) And Jeremy Clarkson is always bashing American cars for being made cheap and not being able to go around a corner. Well this car seems to be foreshadowing future American car designed especially stuff like Real Carbon Fiber and have a limited slip Dif. One thing they should of added is padel shifters just because they are the most effective way to see what a car is capable of. Good Job America... Your making true cars again!

[@Derpies]

I have read that there is an option for a 5 or 6 speed paddle shift automatic trans, but all the test drives I have watched tested the 7 speed manual.

[@sonnycool5655]

Please do not talk when the Vette is power shifting & or during a burn out. We want to HEAR the CAR!!

[@youngestson6537]

EXCELLENCE.

[@craigt5906]

12.8 is exactly what my bone stock 2001 6 speed CONVERTIBLE ran with 110 less horsepower ha

[@jhonsmith2150]

Yeah i no right 😱😃 lol

[@jrvbamafan1]

These run 12.2 all day and high 11s with a tire swap, and your 01 wasnt trapping at 116+ either.

[@rmm2424]

Stock 01 ran 12.8 yeah right.

[@noahwayne7095]

I was told that the long wait time is only for the Z51 models, the non z51 are about 2 months. Also time is running out on getting a 2014 model, apparently its going to be pretty soon where you can only get the 2015 model. Its a cool car, I'm glad they changed the styling, it looks good for once. I hope it drops the association of being an old guy's car.

[@moorees335]

That brake dust is insane....

[@kasimov1994]

This c7 stingray vs bmw m4? What you guys think which is better car all around?

[@Arsing116]

iLove it!

[@925boosting]

Interesting the CTS stops in 99ft from 60. 8ft sooner than the Vette.

[@jhonsmith2150]

12.8 @116 is low for a c7 wit 460hp/465tq 😭😳😰. Need a better driver an dnt shidt so early ! 😛

[@Bmackins94]

those are just the gt seats there's a competition seat coming later

[@dante04srt]

Sooooo... the new Corvette is a DOHC... riiiiiight. ;)

[@EJleon96]

12.8 sec quarter mile seems a lot slower than normal… how is a 2016 Camaro ss faster if it has the same engine, transmission and weighs more

[@TheHighestGodisGood]

The added weight plants the tires better off the line. The car in this video does 0-60mph in 4.05 seconds, in 70F ambient temps. The auto does 3.8.

[@EJleon96]

@@TheHighestGodisGoodon the same day and track conditions, no way a Camaro can take the Vette. They mentioned cold track temps so there’s the answer

[@carlosjaros2486]

The thing is american cars are great for the money but until they get to europe they cost the double and they have to compete with more expensive cars...If they would cost the same here as well...

[@choward874]

12.8@116 outta 460hp is not impressive and I love vettes the 2001 viper pulled many 12.1@119 this is just sad imo.

[@eaglefat9398]

these guys can't drive for shit, it actually runs a 0-60 in 3.8sec and 11.8 1/4 mile and thats just common magazine test numbers, if you are a really good driver it can do better.

[@TheHighestGodisGood]

​@@eaglefat9398The auto is 3.8, but the stick is 4.05.

[@SavageListener]

Weird that the newer mustang gt and Camaro ss are quicker at 12.4@115mph

[@alex_p90]

No..It’s motorweek bro

[@pontiacGXPfan]

I'm gonna wait until Chevy gives the Vette some decent color choices. Laguna is shit-awful but not quite as awful as Lime Rock Green

[@Ron_Snowden]

i hate the rear of the car,looks like a Camaro.

[@MLProductions.1]

no it doesnt. it looks like the last gen camaro. not the new one

[@MLProductions.1]

Slash396 he said the rear. what he means is the rear lights. and again the rear lights look similar to the last gen camro not the new one.

[@Ron_Snowden]

Back of the is ugly as shit,thats what i Saïd.just my fucking opinion!!

[@MLProductions.1]

***** forrea hahaha the guys gettin all butthurt LOLOL. i agree it looks like the last gen camaro. i like the rear tho. thas my opinion

[@jhonsmith2150]

It runs just as fast as the older vettes 😱😢😧 smh . mite as well buy a older one, an save sum cash n ur pocket 💰 fer upgrades ! All shw n no go 😌

[@Jayarea510]

New Kia runs 12.7 smh chevy!!

[@anthonythevettedude8270]

What kia???????? I call bullshit!! And don't dare say the stinger,because it runs 13s .see them all the time at the track.hold your tongue next time and research before opening your mouth! Plus the stinger is a brand new car!look at the c7 now and say that shit.

[@amg3078]

Lol my charger scat pack is faster

[@sidefx996]

No it's not lol... Motorweek's acceleration numbers always sucked. While you're at it learn the difference between the words "quicker" and "faster." Your Charger doesn't have the trap speed or the top speed of a C7 Stingray so it's not "faster."

[@alex_p90]

Absolutely not faster bud
