2010 Chevrolet Corvette Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...However, Cars.com editor Joe Bruzek noted that the Grand Sport's wide tires had a tendency to wander from side to side on rougher grooved pavement. Compliant shouldn't be mistaken for comfortable, however, because even though the suspension does a decent job of damping bigger bumps, you'll feel the road in the Grand Sport — sometimes more than you'd like when traversing particularly rutted sections. It's something that, for the most part, comes with the territory when you buy a sports car, and the Grand Sport's damping isn't worse than the norm. The Grand Sport stays flat when cornering... |

2010 Chevrolet Corvette Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...It's the perfect long weekend getaway vehicle. There's plenty of storage space in the back for two bags and the cabin offers lots of comfort and amenities. Even if you remove the polycarbonate roof for some open air driving, the roof fits nicely in the back, clicking into two hinges and leaving space for luggage. The 43 inches of legroom provides lots of space and the sculpted seat makes the ride very comfortable. Even with the heavy-duty suspension, the ride was remarkably smooth. The lack of an insulated roof allowed lots of road noise to leak in, and that might be one of the few drawbacks... |

2010 Chevrolet Corvette Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The Grand Sport's special five-spoke alloy wheels measure 18 inches in front and 19 inches in back, but the front wheels are 1 inch wider and the rear ones are 2 inches wider than base models. The shocks, springs and stabilizer bars have also been modified, and Chevrolet says it can pull 1 g when cornering. Unlike the '96 Grand Sport, which was only offered in bright blue with a white racing stripe, 2010 Grand Sports will be offered in all of the colors available for the base Corvette. Hash marks on the front fenders are optional and available in four colors. The front and rear fenders are... |

Why should I also consider these?
While it may have several formidable rivals, the Corvette’s prime nemesis remains the Dodge Viper.
The Dodge now boasts an 8.4-liter V-10 engine pumping out an even 600 horsepower as its sole powertrain option and is humbled only by the ZR1.
Nissan’s GT-R also shows that it has what it takes to topple the Corvette, even approaching the ZR1 in performance.
Combined with its all-wheel-drive system and sophisticated electronics, the 480-horsepower Nissan proves itself worthy on more than one count.
The next closest competitor to the Corvette would have to be the Porsche 911.
With its range of models (rear- and all-wheel drive, naturally aspirated, and turbo powered), the German icon offers more choice and arguably more refinement than the American, though at a significant cost.
While the Porsche Boxster lines up nicely against the base Corvette, its six-cylinder engine is no match for the Chevy’s muscular V-8.
The same goes for Nissan’s 370Z, although the sound from the Z’s tailpipes may persuade even the most loyal of ‘Vette fans.
