2021 Chevrolet Corvette vs. Its Competition

2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Robert Duffer Robert Duffer Senior Editor

The 2021 Chevrolet Corvette gets closer to the Porsche 911, but the 911’s engine sits behind the rear axle and two small rear seats provide a bit more space.

At half the price, the ‘Vette better competes with the Porsche 718 Cayman, but it lacks the unbridled V-8 power of the Corvette.

The Audi R8 and its mid-engine V-10 climbs into supercar heights and prices, while the front-engine Nissan GT-R with all-wheel drive compels for more year-round driving.

Poor sight lines be darned, the V-8 Camaro meets the Corvette halfway for half the cost.
