Our instinct is to take this car onto the track that is contested by Formula One and Champ Car drivers for a true look at its potential. Soon we’re in the canyon of the Autoroute Decarie, savouring the echo of the Corvette’s quad pipes (a fine reason to leave the radio off), and then we’re at our destination, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Ile Notre Dame.
We return to our centre lane pace and a Honda Prelude with a fat exhaust pipe zooms up and speeds ahead.

The Lambo driver move right and exits, still looking away. Reason prevails before every gendarme on the West Island can be alerted. He has us in horsepower - 493 to the Chevy’s 400 - but we top him in torque, and we stay with the Gallardo in the fast lane, red after grey, thunder chasing lightning. The resonant bellow of the Gallardo’s V-10 rolls back as the driver hits the gas, but we respond with the sharper crack of the Corvette V-8. In moments, we’re back on the Trans-Canada. Press the button, the windows whir down, the tonneau cover lifts, the roof folds into the trunk, and the tonneau drops and latches. We pull into a restaurant lot, set the parking brake and place the shifter in neutral, necessary steps for the power top to function. The sun escapes the clouds as we cross into Quebec. There’s no cowl shake, either, though later, when we hit a Montreal ramp that must also serve as an artillery practice range, the hood and fenders will do some convertible jiggle. Both fifth and sixth gears are overdrives, allowing a government fuel consumption rating of just 7.6 L/100 km. At 100 km/h the 6.0-litre V-8 that is the newest version of Chevrolet’s famous small-block is barely turning over, and even at 120, the tachometer shows just 1,600 r.p.m.
