Chevrolet Corvette C3

The Chevrolet Corvette C3 Stingray is the third-generation Corvette model.
== Description ==
The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) is a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the previous generation, but the body and interior were new. It set new sales records with 53,807 produced for the 1979 model year. The C3 is the third generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, while the 1969 through 1976 models mark the second generation of the Corvette Stingray.
The engine of the 1982 model produced 200 hp (149 kW) and was mated to a new four-speed automatic transmission with torque converters bypass in the top three gears. Compared to the previous Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed, the new 700-R4 transmission had a lower first and second gear for improved low-end acceleration and a fourth gear overdrive that would reduce engine RPM by 30 percent at highway cruising speeds, resulting in better fuel economy. On the downside, the new transmission was not considered a strong unit and proved problematic. The final model C3 Corvette's published performance numbers were 0-60 in 7.9 seconds-the quarter-mile in 16.1 @ 85 mph (137 km/h).

===Summary===
The Chevrolet Corvette C3 was added in the Multiplayer League Update as a high Class A car with the following statistics:
*Starting rank: 1251
*MAX rank: 1581 (+330)
*MAX+PRO rank: 1759 (+178)
*Tuning Kit bonus: +57
*Stock to MAX+PRO rank difference: 508
*Upgrade rank percentages: 10/60/10/20

As of the 2021 Lunar New Year Update, the Corvette C3 is now a low Class D car with the following statistics:
*Ultimate Rank: 1229
*Tuning Kit bonus: +37
*Nitro Efficiency: 5.5/9.5/13.5
===Performance===
====v5.6====
The Corvette's reshuffling into Class D greatly changed its performance, now favoring acceleration at the expense of speed. However, even with its Ultimate status, the Corvette does not have the best performance for its placement as the Infiniti FX50 has faster acceleration and better nitro efficiency. Despite having a tighter drifting radius than before, it still has mediocre handling.
====v2.7====
The Chevrolet Corvette C3 specializes in total top speed alone, with mediocre or bad performance in other aspects. The Corvette C3 is faster than the McLaren 675LT, with a total speed of 301.7 mph/485.8 km/h, but it's still not able to compete with even the McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 or SIN R1. The Corvette C3 has very bad drifting, mediocre handling, medium-poor acceleration, and a decent nitro efficiency.
As the Corvette C3 serves as a Class A version of the Cadillac 16 Concept with same overall performance, it is one of the least competitive cars.
The Corvette C3's main rivals in Class A are the Ferrari 330 P4, Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014, Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, Sbarro Alcador, McLaren 675LT , Mosler GT3, Bentley EXP10 Speed 6, Jaguar XJ220S, and Aston Martin One-77.
===Usage===
==== v5.6====
The Corvette is now considered an effective option in the 1230 rank multiplayer bracket. While by no means faster than the Infiniti FX50, the Corvette's brisk acceleration lets it deal a knockdown to slower accelerating cars at the start of a race. 
As the Corvette was made purchasable for in the Fifteenth Anniversary Update, this also greatly increased its accessability. In fact, the C3 is now among the most popular cars in all ladders of the World Series up to the very top, to a point where reaching the Elite League with only the C3 is not uncommon.
Other than its Multiplayer performance, the Corvette can be a cheaper alternative to upgrading more expensive Chevrolets for the Chevrolet-only event in Season 6; while the rank of the C3 is over 200 below the recommended rank, the Corvette's strong acceleration, the poor performance of opponent vehicles, and low difficulty of Career Mode in general makes completing this mission with all 5 stars a possibility even when unboosted.
====v2.7 ====
The Chevrolet Corvette C3 is overshadowed by the McLaren 675LT regarding usage, in all categories.
The Corvette C3 can achieve decent lap-times in TLEs; possibly shorter than those of the McLaren 675LT. However, due to its expensive price and difficulty of driving, the Corvette C3 is undesirable. The Corvette C3 does have a very good Car Mastery Challenge 15 grinding race, though, located in Westminster Bridge, London. The Corvette C3 is also often featured as the top choice for exclusive TLEs, although it is more often than not avoided in favor of the Aventador LP 700-4.
The following upgrade configurations are possible multiplayer upgrade setups for the Corvette C3:
*0401 0020 = 250.6 mph/403.6 km/h @ A1416
*0401 0050 = 260.5 mph/419.5 km/h @ A1459
* 0401 5050 = 274.7 mph/442.3 km/h @ A1521
*0502 5052 = 288.3 mph/464.2 km/h @ A1598
*0514 5554 = 298.2 mph/480.3 km/h @ A1669
These tunes are reasonably decent for its placement. However, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014 is slightly faster at the same rank (between ranks 1400-1550) and it also has better acceleration/drifting/handling. Overall, the Corvette C3 doesn't have a chance of even defeating the C 63 Coupe at those ranks, let alone a chance of beating any of the MP-popular cars (such as the Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS and Apollo Intensa Emozione). The Corvette C3 can be used at higher ranks, between 1600-1700, where it might be able to achieve 1800-1900 rating points, although it stands no chance against the Rezvani Beast Alpha and McLaren 720S.
