Many players consider the Corvette GS to be superior to the SLK SE.

However, this is only true for a few maps like Tokyo and French Guiana (where the SLK SE actually beats both the Corvette GS and Vulcan by at least 1 second).

In reality, the Corvette GS, while being slower, is still a "straight upgrade" to the SLK SE because of all of the OTHER stats. The Corvette GS' drifting and handling stats are actually VERY good compared to the Camaro SS and the SLK SE. In fact, I don't really actually classify the Corvette GS as a "boat". The Corvette GS is very similar to the Corvette C7; if you use the Corvette C7, you'll notice that it's nothing compared to the McLaren 12C Spider, but you'll also notice that it's still good enough to make the Dubai turn (the Sector 8 turn is much harder, though, because it is sustained). The Corvette GS' acceleration also seems to be superior to other speed-oriented cars like the SLK SE; and, of course, the Corvette GS shares the Camaro SS' excellent nitro efficiency.

In fact, in Multiplayer with my Hussarya GT, I always pay attention to the Corvette GS drivers in the race. Even though the Hussarya GT is superior to the Corvette GS overall, that superiority can quickly fade if I don't start the race properly (if I'm partially slowed down by a car in front of me, my acceleration advantage can be lost) or if I don't take turns as sharply as possible. The Corvette GS is NOT a boat. Simply put, the Corvette GS has moderately good handling and drifting, while the Hussarya GT has very good handling and drifting. The Corvette GS has a very good top speed of 518.9 km/h, while the Hussarya GT's top speed of 503.0 km/h is still very good but inferior. The Corvette GS has a superior nitro efficiency to the Hussarya GT, although this is somewhat negligible if you use level-3 nitro frequently (to boost acceleration). The Corvette GS's BIGGEST disadvantage against the Hussarya GT (apart from being Elite) is actually its slow acceleration; the Corvette GS is often the target of knockdowns, so it's just easier to use the Hussarya GT in order to avoid those. Also, getting an early lead in a race is very important; firstly, you can take all of the nitro bottles, and secondly, you can avoid getting "body-blocked" and shoved around by the cars at the back.
