C7 turnng radius
I had a Toyota Sienna minivan that would U-turn on a two way street. My C7 I have to backup to make the same turn.

The Vette looks a hell of a lot better making that u-turn though!

You think that is bad, I once had to take 12 friends out to dinner and I couldn't fit them all in my Corvette, so I had to use my motorhome instead.

Officially turn radius is 37.7 feet for the Stingray (I don't know if the wide body/wide tire of the GS and Z06 is greater).
The Sienna is 37.3 feet, so yes a tighter circle, but it's a minivan... :P
