The Corvette Stingray—the seventh generation, or C7—competes with the world’s greatest sports cars, and once again we’ve named it to our 10Best list. With a 6.2-liter V-8 making 460 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque, you can now choose an eight-speed automatic transmission in addition to the standard seven-speed manual. It sheds its unrefined reputation and has an interior befitting its stature. Offered as a targa or convertible, the Corvette is a performance bargain that you must drive to believe.
