Corvette C7 | Cars
The Chevrolet Corvette, a true American icon. This is not a car. It’s a statement. And what it says is that you are a staunch conservative, from a family of decent God-fearing folk, who believe in short haircuts, US beer, and the American way. Nobody has ever listened to a George Michael CD while driving a ’Vette.
Have you ever wondered why the Corvette has never been made with its steering wheel on the correct side of the car? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s because Chevrolet’s sports car division reckons that the world outside of America is full of cannibals and communists, neither of whom would appreciate their pushrod engines and leaf-spring suspension. Amen. Praise the Lord.
If muscle is your thing, then there is no better car to take for a spin of a lifetime.
"The noise is genuinely painful… It’s a sound that has a mass. It has gravity. I shouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that it can kill"

Dawn CraddockMy son age 12 had a fab day doing the passenger ride experience in the C7 and California. All staff are friendly and helpful from checking in, the young lads taking you to the cars and the experienced drivers. He wants to come back and drive so will be booking up soon.
Logan WatsonBought a junior car driving experience for my son. I didn't realise he was driving (I didn't properly read it when booking!) Which made the whole experience even better! We had the option to pay a £25 waiver fee and we did pay for the sighting lap £10 (optional) Very well organised and the drivers were all fab, and let me take photos of him in the car. The only downside was we couldn't properly see him going around the track, and the viewing area was small (when you see them leave for the track) but it wasn't a real issue. We bought the ultimate package (pics and photos ) which was also worth it too, especially seeing his face (interior view) when driving the cars!! Tip, take your own snacks and drinks as the food prices are expensive, however that's not down to Car Chase Heroes. Totally Recommend.
Samantha StathamDay was great. The forced insurance waiver straight away wasn't expected and wasn't happy. Paid for the photo pack and its a download you don't walk away with anything for you £40 which again, for the money isn't really too good felt like its pay drive and pay again. Cars were awesome and we had a nice drive all that aside
Kathrine brettIt was a beautiful sunny day. A lot of amazing cars. I booked the Corvette c7. My original plan was to drive Corvette C3, but they don't have anymore. The registration was horrible. More than twenty minutes in the noise place like a warehouse. Maybe they can improve it later. But after everything was right. I went to the Corvette C7. It is a beautiful American muscle car. The instructor was very kind and helpful. The car was much better than what I expected. I think I will be back again and I will try another car too.
Peter PapThe instructor warned me and accurately described the car as being 'quite agricultural' and 'a bit of a boat' to handle - and he wasn't wrong. Then again, what do you expect of an iconic muscle car like this?? Going round corners felt like wrestling a bus full of bricks through a revolving door at times, but the sound this thing produces more than makes up for it. Absolute beast - be forceful with the gearstick, try not do dismember yourself on the exhaust pipe on your way in and don't expect a comfy ride :)
AO5 Star!!!! This Corvette was an absolute thrill that 7.0L engine Roaring and making a mountain of V8 noise when i put my foot down at Dunsfold Aerodrome was the best experience i've ever had especially since this is the very first corvette i've ever driven. Corvettes are my favourite Chevrolet car, I liked them before, but after driving this one i fell in love, the C3 Stingray is now my favourite classic corvette One thing i had trouble with was the very very heavy clutch, brakes and steering and also i had a bit of trouble changing the gears but Dan my instructor was Excellent in getting me the best out of this american classic. Great Car!!!!! Thank You
Thomas DealA BENTWATERS MUSCLE CAR EXPERIENCE Whilst the experience of driving 3 American Muscle cars did not disappoint at all. It was great even putting up with the entry and exit from the Stingray, it could not have been better. Unfortunately the day was let down with the lack of signs telling people where to go in fact there were no signs and "Go to the black tent" when there are four of them didn`t help the two young ladies, trying to sort out who went with which car etc., Also I think that when you are selling a `T` shirt at £15, it should not have been able to be blown from it`s hanger onto the dusty floor several times. One other thing might be an idea to inform people that there may be a wait, so a fold up chair might be good to bring.
Graham CresswellMan alive that was a fantastic experience. I was expecting a stock Corvette but this was a full bore - hard core - racing machine. Absolutely no creature comfort. Just power fantastic guidance and feedback from my instructor who pushed me to go faster than I had expected to go. The car (in fact all of the cars I drove) were not in showroom condition and a valet wouldn't have gone a miss, but that was all forgiven as the driving experience was so rewarding.
WadeThis Car is off the scale, complete monster!! LHD and no power steering, but the power on the straights is totally incredible, and that engine sound!! This is a race car not a stock Corvette, way more of a car then I expected at first look. Having the Instructor sat next to you telling you when to put on the power and egging you on means you can just put the accelerator to the floor without worrying to much about the rapidly approaching corner, he WILL tell you when to brake before its too late so you get the most out of the rush of flooring this beast!!
