Tune \ Tun: To Adjust For Precise Functioning; To Make More Precise, Intense, Or Effective
Chevrolet understands that the prospective Corvette buyer will be considering the purchase at least partly due to the Corvette’s performance. While that may be a consideration, many people lured in by power and speed will also savor the fact that the Corvette can be driven every day with comfort levels that equal luxo-sedans built in any country.
