IndyCar driver Sam Schmidt has driven his head, breathing, and voice-controlled Corvette in closed situations, but thanks to working with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, he’s now set to get a driver’s license to drive it on public roads.
A full decade into Car and Driver’s Lightning Lap, and one thing remains the same: Corvette provides prodigious speeds for comparatively little outlay.
8.69 seconds at 153 miles per hour. These are unfathomable numbers for most of us mere mortals who have never built anything like this take-no-prisoners C6 Corvette Z06.
