The power is supplied by the sublime 7.0 liter  naturally aspirated V8 engine(the best engine in the world in my opinion) making 505 HP and 637 NM of torque.The power is managed by a six speed manual transmission.The power as in any proper supercar is sent to the back wheels.

The ride is controlled by the Magnetic Selective Ride Control system.The Michelin PS2 tires mounted on the 20 inch rims make this car stick to the road unlike anything before.

Weighting only 1.5 tons and having 513 HP the Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition can get from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds and can reach a top speed of 200 Mph.
