It all comes down to two sets of digits. Some might say that’s oversimplifying, but the radical improvements in the new Corvette Stingray chassis can be summarized with the figures 57 and 99. These numbers refer, respectively, to the percent of increase in rigidity, and the concomitant reduction in poundage. Taken together they’re even more remarkable, because you’d expect that paring nearly 100 pounds off a frame would result in less torsional strength, not more. And certainly not in a magnitude of more than half again as much.
