The Corvette is the supercar for those who want to leave their wallet intact.
Mid-engine magic at a steal · V8 power thrills every time
Frunk cooks your groceries · Awkward steering wheel shape
The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette is a tantalizing mix of raw power and audacious design. Its 6.2L V8 engine delivers a spine-tingling 490 horsepower, and the mid-engine layout ensures it handles like a dream on twisting canyon roads. This generation surprises with its everyday usability—spacious enough for a weekend getaway, yet thrilling enough to make every drive feel like a track day. While the styling might polarize, and the oddly shaped steering wheel may perplex some, the performance per dollar is simply unbeatable. If you yearn for exotic performance without the exotic price tag, the Corvette is your vehicle.
Our pick: Stingray Coupe ($71,995)
vs. 2026 Porsche 911: The Porsche 911 offers more refined styling and pedigree, but at nearly double the price, the Corvette’s sheer performance and affordability make it the better choice for thrill-seekers on a budget.
