How much driving skill is required to drive Corvette C7 Stingray?

First of all, a disclaimer:  this article in no way is meant to express any form of negativity toward handicapped persons whatsoever.  In fact, the persistence of this man should be applauded and admired.

However, seeing the headline announcing a quadriplegic attempting to drive the Stingray solely by using his head raises one very pressing question:

Could this person use his head to choose a better car first?  Unlike with the driving part, there are no special accommodations and electronic assistance needed to literally use the head to pick a car that actually can perform on a racetrack.

Now, this is not directed against anyone handicapped but is this guy being used, being played by +Tadge Juechter  and +General Motors  to serve as an unintentional advertisement?  Shame on Tadge and Mary Barra if this indeed is the case.  After seeing Tadge stuffing his 80-year old father in C7 and allowing him to drive, this may actually not be a far fetched scenario.

Again, as fortunate it may be to see someone so severely handicapped being allowed to assume (full) control of a high performance car, it is equally disheartening to see that the same head power could not be utilized first to select a better car (both PDK Porsche 911 and Nissan GTR are just a few of the examples) .

Just assuming the entire attempt is successful, what will that exactly mean?  Is the new Corvette too easy to drive and offers no rewards to anyone capable of higher than minimum driving skills and unaffected by age reaction times?  Will Stingray become the next Google car? 

Any advertisement can be a double edge sword and this apparent stunt does not appear to be an exception.
