C7 Stingray convertible chassis rigid enough? Didn't see this posted yet and thought the story was pretty interesting.

Being better than a well known M-B is worthy of conversation in terms of bragging rights and worthy of driving in terms of... well, it just doesn't matter because it's an outstanding car!

I don't get what you mean... Are you saying M-B is = to McLaren? If so, that makes sense considering some of their previous joint ventures. They can't seem to work with each other worth crap, but alone, each does quite well anyway.
Oh well, I just thought the read was worth it, learning a bit more about the Corvette design and how few cars have ever used the same approach.

And yes, it's quite an interesting read. It shows that despite being run by absolute *********, General Motors still has the technological resources to produce some of the most advanced cars produced nowadays (and this comes from an European person). Let's just hope now that with a new CEO they can make better use of that.

Oh... I hadn't even noticed I put them together like that, knowing they're really separate(they can't stand each other, obviously).
That said, I haven't been to Europe in a long time, but I wouldn't even ride in about 45% of the cars I saw when I was there. Cars have come a long way across the world, but none have advanced more than American cars in technical terms.
That Corvette is, in an overall sense, one of the very best cars available across the world today. It's not going to compare well for a family of 6 against a Tahoe, but wherever vehicle prowess is the main consideration, this car is outstanding. Considering price, availability, driving dynamics, power train, all of it... more than just a little tough to beat.
