2012 Porsche vs 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Kent Car Dealer

2012 Chevrolet Corvette vs Porsche  Safety: The Corvette comes with standard GPS enabled OnStar service, which offers everything from turn-by-turn directions to automatic crash response that sends out emergency personal to your exact GPS coordinates. The Porsche has no GPS enabled system comparable to OnStar.    Warranty: Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Corvette 1 year and 50,000 miles longer than Porsche covers its 911. There are over 21 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Porsche dealers. This means it is drastically easier to get your Chevrolet Corvette serviced on its warranty than it is to get your Porsche 911 serviced on its already inferior warranty. Reliability: The Corvette has a standard “limp home system” which keeps the engine running on half its cylinders if engine coolant is lost. This prevents a Corvette driver from being stranded. The Porsche offers nothing comparable to this—so your vehicle could be severely damaged if you lose fluid engine fluid and you will also be stranded. The Corvette even offers “run flat” wheels that will run for 100 miles at speeds of 55mph even with reduced tire pressure, so a flat will also not leave you stranded. Engine, Power and Handling: The Corvette, simply put, offers greater horsepower and torque than the Porsche. The Corvette also offers significantly higher torque at lower rpm than the Porsche. The Corvette also has 1.1 gallons more fuel capacity than the 911, giving the Corvette a greater fuel range. The Corvette offers a shift indicator to help the driver easily achieve the maximum efficiency and performance from their car. The Porsche doesn’t offer this feature. The Corvette has larger standard tires and a greater wheel base. This along with suspension features like the Corvettes Magnetic Selective Ride Control and Active Handling standard grant the Corvette more precise handling than the Porsche.   Awards: The Corvette was recommended by the Consumer Report and received an award from Kiplinger. Porsche was recognized by neither of these respected publications. At Art Gamblin Motors, we know the Chevrolet Corvette is undeniably superior to the Porsche. So we invite you to come test drive a new Corvette with us here in Enumclaw Washington. You will surely appreciate our welcoming pressure-free environment staffed by friendly expert sales associates. Most importantly though, we have been family owned and operated for over 40 years and have always treated our customers as family.

Kid Rock: Cruisin’ “All Summer Long”… In His Brand New Chevy Camaro

When thinking of mega rock stars and the birthday presents they recieve, what would you expect them to recieve: a new house or a yacht? Probably. Better yet how about their  own exotic country that they can name after themselves? More than likely. How about a brand new custom 2011 SS Chevy Camaro? What…. thats… it?

Rock star Kid Rock will just have to live with the dissapointed not having an island named after himself for his birthday this year after recieving his brand new SS Chevy Camaro at his birthday concert in Detroit. Nascar drive Jimmie Johnson, who teamed up with Chevrolet, was there at Ford Field (Ironically enough) in person to unvail the custom Camaro. While Kid Rock is enjoying his new ride, we should all be thankful we don’t have to plan our next vacation to the country of Kid Rock, Scary right?

This really got us thinking here at the dealership. What kind of car would we want to be given for our birthday from Chevrolet? And when we really thought about it, the choice was simple: A brand new 2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. This Corvette is an animal. With a supercharged LS9 V8 engine that pumps out 638- Horsepower and 604 lbs of torque and a top speed of 205 MPH, we could give a big “In your face” to Kid Rock and his Camaro.
