The Chevrolet Corvette enters the third year of its stunning rebirth as a mid-engine sports car with exotic styling that instantly turns heads. Now that a few years have passed since its debut, has the formula grown at all stale? Heck no.
The Corvette offers a mind-bending package of quickness, handling and even comfort on the road. However, its biggest strength is the price, which undercuts several competing sports cars by a significant margin. New for this year is a race-inspired C8.R Edition package that pays tribute to the Corvette's motorsports success. But even base versions of this coupe are well equipped to compete against the likes of the BMW M4 and Porsche 911. Read the categories of our Expert Rating below to get our test team's full evaluation of the 2022 Corvette's performance, comfort and more.

Chevrolet Corvette vs. the competition
2022 Chevrolet Corvette
2021 Ford Shelby GT500
Chevrolet Corvette vs. Ford Shelby GT500
The Ford Shelby GT500 is a high-performance version of the Mustang. And when we say high-performance, we mean the "760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque" kind of high performance. It's a beast of a muscle car, but the Corvette is more engaging to drive around a racetrack and more comfortable on city streets. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Shelby GT500.
Chevrolet Corvette vs. BMW M4
The BMW M4 is a powerful luxury coupe, albeit with a 503-horsepower engine under the hood. It's fun to drive and packs impressive cargo capacity. However, the Corvette has better steering and ride comfort at a lower price. It also feels more exotic and special due to its engine layout. Still, the M4 is a hoot.
Chevrolet Corvette vs. Porsche 718 Cayman
Both of these cars are mid-engine and reward you with communicative steering and handling. The Cayman is more nimble around turns, but the Corvette counters with its more evocative V8. You might feel a little more special in the Cayman, but for overall value, the Corvette is certainly the better pick.
