The new Corvette Stingray has been around long enough now for all car lovers to get pretty intimate with it. Some know this car better than they know themselves. Concerns about petrosexuality aside, the Stingy is certainly interesting enough to spend some time studying its details.

What we have here gives you a personal, in-depth look at the Corvette Stingray and lets you know what’s it’s like to actually own one of these things. It’s better than that actually, as this Stingray here is equipped with the Z51 performance package and it’s a convertible, which we think look better than the hardtop.
