To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Corvette’s optional Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. The Valhalla doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

Both the Corvette and the Valhalla have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras and available blind spot warning systems.

Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Corvette 2 years longer than Aston Martin covers the Valhalla. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the Valhalla ends after only 3 years.

The Corvette ZR1’s standard 5.5 turbo V8 produces 17 lbs.-ft. more torque (828 vs. 811) than the Valhalla’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid. The Corvette ZR1X’s standard 5.5 turbo V8 hybrid produces 186 more horsepower (1250 vs. 1064) and 139 lbs.-ft. more torque (950 vs. 811) than the Valhalla’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid.

When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Valhalla doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

The Valhalla doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

The Corvette offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed, tachometer, turn signal and navigation instruction readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Valhalla doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The Corvette’s variable intermittent wipers have an adjustable delay to allow the driver to choose a setting that best clears the windshield during light rain or mist. The Valhalla’s
