Catching the attention of sports car enthusiasts at a Chevy dealer near you, the Corvette Stingray offers a heart-pumping driving experience with its glorious V8 engine and highly refined chassis. The latest generation of this iconic automobile marks its adoption of the mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Here’s a quick rundown on the 2024 Chevy Corvette Stingray!
Powertrain
Placed between the passenger compartment and rear axle for a more ideal weight distribution, the Corvette Stingray’s naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 engine pumps out an astounding 490 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. An available performance exhaust system produces a more aggressive exhaust note and raises performance to 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Ultra-quick, tactile gear changes are provided by an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Corvette Stingray can rocket itself from 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds, and it takes just 11.2 seconds for the car to cover a quarter-mile from a standstill. Top speed is equally impressive at 194 mph.
Chassis
Whether you buy the Corvette Stingray as a coupe or convertible, the car has a lightweight, yet rigid chassis that promises exceptional stability in the corners. The suspension features short long arm double wishbones, a rear stabilizer bar, and both forged and aluminum construction. 46-mm monotube shock absorbers do a great job of absorbing bumps in the road.
The available magnetic damping system makes constant adjustments, improving response as the driving surface changes. Serious track goers will want to opt for the Z51 Performance Package, which includes a manually adjustable suspension and high-performance Brembo anti-lock brakes.
Interior
Among the cockpit’s most distinctive features are its race-inspired steering wheel with a flat top and bottom and a vertical stack of climate controls that acts as a divider between the driver and passenger. Striking color schemes like Adrenaline Red/Jet Black and driver-oriented displays, including a customizable 12-inch digital instrument panel, further allude to the Corvette Stingray’s sporty nature.
Along with its stylish design, the interior offers generous legroom at nearly 43 inches and a host of amenities, such as 8-way power adjustability for both seats, a heated steering wheel, and a wireless charging pad.
Infotainment
An 8-inch HD infotainment touchscreen comes standard and enables use of wireless smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth audio streaming, and connected navigation. The advanced voice recognition system lets you control many functions without having to remove your focus from the drive.
A standard 10-speaker Bose premium audio system delivers rich sound, but audiophiles also have the option of going with the even more powerful 14-speaker Bose Performance Series system.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find another car that matches the Corvette Stingray’s level of performance for such an incredible price. Head over to Blue Ribbon Chevrolet in Sallisaw, OK today and see it for yourself!
