well done Chevy

It would seem shedding 200 lbs could be done if needed for the track

the extra weight is probably a bonus for normal driving

In the early years of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa), astronauts bought whatever sports car they could afford. Modest airforce or navy salaries could stretch to diminutive two-seater British roadsters from MG and Triumph, but a $3,490 (£2,840) Corvette C1, introduced at the General Motors Motorama in 1953, was pie in the sky.

It wasn’t until Alan Shepard became the first American (and second person ever) in space on May 5 1961, that the Astrovette legend was born. The handsome, all-American hero was headline news around the world – and marketing gold. The following year, General Motors (GM) presented him with an Ermine White 1962 Corvette.

Shepard may have been beaten into space by Yuri Gagarin, but the cosmonaut had to settle for a more modest Matra-Bonnet Djet coupé – a gift from the French government. A dream motor for the average Russian at the time, the Djet was also the world’s first production, mid-engined sports car.

Is the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Better With an Automatic? (caranddriver.com)

VERDICT: A great automatic, but give us our CT4-V Blackwing with the manual.
