The 2014 Corvette Stingray looks like a sure-fire hit
It has cutting edge sharp bodywork, a powerful and efficient new small block V8 engine and a stylish interior that looks worthy of $ 50,000-plus price tag of the car.
There is also an abundance of high-tech goodies that two 8-inch digital displays in the dashboard, an active suspension and driver mode selector that adapts a dozen of the 'Vette systems of conditions ranging from wet to track suits covers. The small button on the center console that controls them promises to be one of the best features of the Stingray's.
Unfortunately, the worst is right next to it.
There you will find a small lever to find with a "P" on the electronic parking brake. That's right, is the seventh generation Corvette did not have a handbrake.
Several car manufacturers, Ferrari and Porsche among them, have already replaced the traditional handbrake levers on their line-ups with electronic versions, create more space on the center console for things like cup holders (the Corvette has two) and to make their automatic operation to facilitate .
Of course, many potential Corvette owners appreciate the electronic e-brake convenience, but their profit is the loss of competitive vagrants, would-be stuntmen and drivers who just want a little crazy in an empty parking lot to gain.
In any case, still comes with a manual gearbox with seven gears ...!
Really?
Welcome to the future sports car, where the glass is still pretty full, but with different things.
