2014 Corvette Stingray Pitted Against Britain’s Finest Sportscars

Have you ever wondered what the folks over at Goodwood are up to throughout the whole year besides getting ready for and hosting the spectacular Festival of Speed? Well, they’re not smoking salmon and drinking tea on top of Goodwood Hill. They’re playing with all sorts of cars.

Recently, they took delivery of a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray only to compare the Kentucky-built musclecar to Britain’s finest sportscars - the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S and the Jaguar F-Type V8S. All three rear-wheel drive vehicles were handed over to racing driver Anthony Ried for a few runs up the hill and an awesome 5-minute video.

Interestingly enough, the 2014 Corvette won the comparison, completing a run in one minute and 4.3 seconds, nearly a second faster than the V12 Vantage S, the fastest road-going Aston Martin ever and twice as expensive as the Stingray.
