7 Reasons the Corvette is Fun to Drive

1. The Attention

Whether you like attention or you'd rather just hide under a rock, it's nice to grab the eyes of the passing by every now and then. If you're driving your beautiful Chevrolet Corvette on the freeway, you're bound to turn some heads. Some will envy you, some will appreciate the art that of the lines, and some will look to rile you up just to see what your car can do. In the end, react any way you want, as long as you soak it all in.

2. Top Down

If you happen to buy a convertible Corvette, then you are in for a treat. Not only do you get to enjoy one of America's best sports cars, you also get to enjoy America's sunny weather. If you get the removable hardtop, then you can enjoy the best of all worlds: the amazing look of the hardtop Corvette, and the amazing feel of the convertible one.

3. The Iconic Feel

The Chevrolet Corvette represents the American-dream. When you were a child, you probably played with a  toy car, or you saw a Corvette on the street and promised that one day you'd own one. The Corvette represents America; it represents power, speed, history, and every child's dream. If you can't relate to this, wait until you sit behind its steering wheel, and it will all come to you.

4. The Comfort

If you've never sat in a Corvette, is is, unlike most sports cars, extremely comfortable. The way the seats hold you, the way the dashboard flows and the way everything is within an arm's reach will make you never want to get out of it. If you want an extremely comfortable ride, just put your Vette in touring mode, and enjoy the luxury that many people don't know the Corvette offers.

5. The Power

Everything will make sense as soon as you step down on the gas pedal and kick things off. The Chevrolet Corvette is considered one of the best pound for pound sports cars in the world. If you drive this legendary vehicle, expect at least 455 horsepower dependent on the model and mods, which is enough power that will melt your stress away, as well as your tires. The 6.2-liter V8 engine develops 460 lb-ft of torque, so expect 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds.

6. The Romantic Side

Not only is the Corvette a great conversation starter, it is the perfect car for a date. The vicious monster can quickly turn into a romantic capsule, thanks to its elegant design, its comfortable interior, its amazing reputation, and most importantly, thank to it being a two seater; you won't have to worry about a third wheel on your date unless they want to go in your trunk.

7. The Social Experience

There is a whole other world that non-Corvette-owners don't even know anything about. If you own a Corvette, you will quickly become a part of a huge community that breathes American-muscles. The constant forum discussions, the huge group gatherings, and the secret nods to other Corvette owners on the road will keep you entertained for as long as you own one.
