This makes you glad there are curves!
Maybe you never driven a Corvette…and you don’t know there’s a whole new meaning to the word “curve.”
You don’t know that your eyes can light up at the sight of a serpentine ribbon of concrete…that you can come slicing into a turn for the sheer joy of swirling through it in one long, precise arc.
You don’t know the real meaning of security…the broad-based sports car suspension that nails a Corvette to the road, for keeps…the surgical accuracy of 16 to 1 steering ratio…the ultra solid feel of a car that has no excessive overhang to spoil its balance.
You don’t know the grip of a sports car bucket seat that holds you firm and rtrue on the tightest corner…the competent feel of a man-size steering wheel…the falcon’s-eye panorama of the world you get through that deep-raked windshield…the cushioned-in-oil flow of power that jets through a special Powerglide transmission.
There are a lot of wonderful things you’ll never know until you slide into a Corvette’s luxurious cockpit and fire up that tiger-hearted 195-horsepower V8…
But why are we standing here talking when you could be pointing a Corvette’s low hood into a beautiful sweeping turn …and learning first-hand what handling can mean!
