Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Mid-engine layout — First mid-engine Corvette — engine behind the cabin for optimal weight distribution

You feel it as: Fundamentally different turn-in and rotation from every previous Corvette

Dry-sump LT2 V8 — 6.2L pushrod V8 with 495 hp — sits low for better center of gravity

You feel it as: Traditional American V8 character with exotic-car balance

Magnetorheological dampers — Standard adaptive dampers reading the road thousands of times per second

You feel it as: Controlled over bumps at speed — the chassis stays composed where previous Corvettes would skip
