Clarkson declares this about the Corvette:

“There is simply no other car that looks this good, goes this fast – in a straight line and around corners – and that most of the time bumbles about like a forgetful uncle. And when you throw in the price tag of just £106,690 – lots for a Corvette but modest next to a similarly powerful Ferrari – the case for the defence can sit down and put up its feet knowing that the prosecutor simply has nowhere to go.”

Clarkson celebrates the ZR1′s supercharged V8, which he describes as “both docile and extraordinarily savage all at the same time.” While he isn’t impressed with the build quality, claiming problems with the remote starter after just three days, he suggests that these sorts of problems are minor compared to the sheer quality of the Corvette.

One of the most revolutionary things about the Corvette had to be the split rear window version. The split rear window, designed by Bill Mitchell, completes the line that starts on the pointed hood bulge. This was the birth of the “stinger” concept, which became characteristic of later Corvettes. The split window, however, had its critics, even among engineers at Chevrolet. From 1964 forward, the split window would be gone.

The new 1963 Corvette was a radical departure, as well, in that it was lower by three inches than the previous Corvette. It was also more narrow, again by right around three inches. This was a sleek car, and it was at home on the boulevard, the racetrack, or the rally.

There were changes to the chassis, as well. There was a new independent suspension, for example, which made a huge difference in the driving experience of the Corvette.

While you can’t buy a 1963 Corvette at your local Chevrolet dealership, you can buy a new one. The ZR1 is back for the 2009 model year, and it’s been well worth the wait. Come check out a new Corvette today.
