TCC’s Bottom Line

The switch to a mid-engine design makes the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette faster in a straight line and around a track. Mission accomplished.

The 2020 Nissan GT-R has a dated interior and isn’t the value it used to be, but it’s performance defies expectations.

TCC Likes

Mid-engine layout promises better rear-wheel traction
Fast as the dickens
Corvette lines work with new form

The grip is incredible
Responsive dual-clutch transmission
Astounding acceleration

TCC Dislikes

Performance was already paramount
Less usable cargo space
No more manual transmission

Styling doesn’t look the part
A $212,000 Nissan does not compute
Decade-old appointments
