"Come dinnertime, when the voting and arguments started, it was apparent that we had a problem. Slightly more than half of us immediately chose the Corvette. Yes, it's fast, as you'd expect. Yes, it makes short work of straights and develops massive grip, even where the pavement is broken or the deep shade leaves pools of old rainwater to splash and steam from the brakes. But it's now the complete package. There are no longer any excuses.
Yet there was a stubborn minority holding out for the AMG, regardless of cost. It's the car of our dreams in many respects. Shouldn't it be PCOTY, even if most of us will never see one on the street? "If we're going to pick the Vette because of cost," one editor snapped, "why not go all the way and pick the Fiesta? It's the best value."
To answer that, I thought about my final drive in the Corvette, down the vicious, dark side of a steep hill. The C7 may not have the flash of the Black Series, and it might not be as affordable as the Fiesta, but down a difficult road or around an open track, it has virtually all of the former's pace with the accessible brilliance of the latter. You can use full throttle, you can use the brakes. You can use the C7, but you won't use it up. It's the most capability that any manufacturer has ever delivered for this money, it's rewarding to drive for everyone from novice to seasoned racer, and it is, definitely and deservedly, the Road & Track Performance Car of the Year."
