2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 2dr Coupe w/1LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)

After a year my Stingray seems to get better with time. It's a blast to drive and now that winter is over, the open air option of the targa top adds to the delight of having it! My wife and I went to the launch for the new Panamera a couple weeks ago. The valet parked us between a 911GT3 and GT4. Very interesting that the dimensions of the cars is very similar. The Vette was one of the few American cars in the lot but it drew lots of attention and rave reviews. On the way home my wife asked if I wanted to trade it for the new Panamera? Absolutely Not! The redesigned Panamera is a great looking car but I'm sticking with the Stingray!

Manual or Auto?

I recently traded in my LT1 2015 with 8 speed auto for a 2016 with 7 speed manual. I've always been a manual transmission guy with my sports cars and auto for the family sedans. I bought the automatic believing the paddle shift would simulate the manual experience. After almost two years of driving, I can say that the automatic doesn't deliver the classic sports car "feel." The downshifting is where I mostly notice the difference. The manual transmission Vette is a very different experience. I now feel that I'm really driving the manual Vette, not just putting the car in Drive and aiming it. I do mostly around town driving, so rarely get the car out of fourth gear, so constant shifting is not a hassle. The transmission shifts smoothly once I got used to the stiff clutch and found the correct shift points. So, if you're shopping for a Vette, my advice is to try both transmissions before you buy. FOLLOW UP: Sprang for a 911 since this review. MSRP exactly double the Vette's. And, it is auto--the well engineered "PDK" system by Porsche. This is much closer to a manual than the Vette's, plus the Porsche quality vs Chevrolet build. However, for the money, the Vette is an outstanding value, You won't lose much when it is time to sell a C7 unless you got one loaded with overpriced bells and whistles. Example : Color matching brake calipers for $600. Get real. But the option prices on the 911 are even worse.

This is our 5th vette, 99 Targa, 98 convertible, 2002 convertible, 2005 coupe and now the 2016 convertible. BEST YET. From hi-way to in town, easiest high performance car I have ever driven. Seats are great and the interior is plush, the leather is super and that's a big change. Auto top fast and quite. NO wind noise. Their is a monster under the hood, with the pipes open 460 hp. With a touch of the screen to close the pipes down it's a quite as a kitten. Light it up and hold on. Turn the engine control to ECO on the hi-way and it's get 33mph. Best bang for the buck on the market today.

Just went over 1000 miles with the new vette. Incredible performance. Engine sound management is first rate. Interior finally lives up to corvette standards. A option I would recommend for the next generation vette would be a blind spot sensor capability. A sports car bargain! Get one!!!

This is my third Vette. I had two prior C5's which were great, but just wasn't personally fond of the C6 styling (though it's a great car). The C7 is the only Vette that my wife finds really comfortable to ride in. The seats are supportive, entry and exit is far better and the car feels very confident. The optional exhaust allows for the exhaust to be tamed down when that is appropriate and opened up when you are driving aggressively. Handling, traction and acceleration are inspiring. The 8 speed automatic is state of the art with almost no shift lag. The looks of any car is very personal. That said, I like this car. The fit and finish is excellent and the styling is fresh. Highly recommended.

This is like a jet cockpit compared to my 2006. At 76 it will take me awhile to learn all of it's tech. options. I have had young, old, male, and female give me the thumbs up. She is white with red and black interior. best MPG in a 25 mile section jumped from 34.5 to 36.1. The complaints I have are: radio reception,worst I have ever had, The leather dash shrunk and pulled up. It was past warr. by a month or so. They would only give me $1100. toward a 2500. repair. Never sitting in the passenger seat I never noticed it. It took three visits to get the torque converter issue corrected. This is a 3LT interior. Are these common flaws?

It is an excellent car with it's 8 speed automatic; a lot of fun to drive. When the summer run flat tires wear out in 15,000 miles you can put on a set of all season non run flats. It will be much quieter, smoother riding and have better wet weather traction. You will give up some performance traction. When driven normally it will get surprisingly good mileage up to 33 mpg on the hwy.

This is my third Corvette purchase. I had two C5's, a 98 Coupe and 99 Convertible, and I still have the C5 Coupe. The evolution in Corvette styling did not appeal to me at first. However it took a couple of years for the C7 to grow on me, now I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I still love the C5 for the car that it is, and the C7 for the car it became. My only personal drawback (this is obviously a reflection of my age) is the extensive use of electronics on the newer Corvette. Guess that this could be interpreted as: I am flawed, the C7 is perfect. Our technically dependent society says so. :-) Two years later, still have the same feelings and still enjoy the C7!! For a while, I added the 6th Gen Camaro SS and enjoyed driving both equally. Now at my ripe old age of retirement, I'm daily driving an MB E550 as my daily driver, but, my Corvette is definitely my PLEASURE car. To this date, I've had no issues with this car. Recalls were handled quickly and efficiently. I am quite fastidious regarding routine maintenance and service the car at a minimum twice a year (oil - alignment, etc) and because the car is a 7 speed, this one is a keeper! Update August 2020 (Year of change-COVID and a new home). We moved - both my wife and I had our “must haves” (mine was a 3 car garage- she wanted other stuff) for the new place. We now live in a Southern California beach city and I’m enjoying my C7 even more. It is still not complicated to dive, routine maintenance is not an event. I’m a 5 minute drive through some beautiful rolling hills which are a great for a leisurely drive further south with a return home via the pacific coast highway. (To repeat myself - this one is a keeper).

I have had 13 corvettes but this one is amazing. There is one drawback. This year model does not have the safety feature where it tells you if someone is your in your blind spot in your mirrors. I had my car in for service and had a rental Cruze which had those mirrors and it was amazing. Wish this year had the safety mirrors very disappointed that it doesn’t have it. Very hard to see and judge sometimes because in the convertible the rear window is very very small and you can’t see much out of that window so those would be very helpful. Otherwise, I love my car just for safety reasons wish they had those mirrors. The front and back camera are awesome though. The convertible is incredible It takes no time to go down. I am soooooooooo glad I bought the convertible. It was so worth the extra money to have it. U can put it down in a minute which comes in handy at a Light. This car is so much fun.

Now 25,500 miles into a Z51 in Long Beach Red: Still a tremendous value and sports car; a view from someone who long ago raced cars on the amateur level. It's not so much that acceleration, handling, braking, and feel are superb; it's that you feel attached to the car. The styling remains beautiful. The interior is very comfortable. Apple CarPlay works better with iOS 13.4.1: (1) Apple Maps has great UI but mediocre directions — at least Google Maps is now supported; (2) Apple Music plays better. In addition to the electronics, the other problem has been the shifting, which professional journalists complained about and I found true also. Over time, shifting has become much more fluid, although there is still an occasional glitch in the high gears. You can pack quite a lot under the hatch -- at least four suitcases. And, oh, if your state requires a front license plate, my experience has been this: The Chevrolet-supplied holder, even when mounted by a qualified Chevrolet technician, will scratch the front bumper and no Chevrolet dealer, out of the three that I have tried, will take responsibility for the problem. I now have removed the holder and will pay $900 to have the bumper repaired. This car now remains the last, great, American-made, front engine, rear drive, V-8. Hope my kids appreciate it years from now.

First I have owned a few Vette’s, a Porsche and various other automobile’s. I’ve been in the auto business with over 10 years experience and driven everything you can imagine. The C7 Z06 for the money cannot be beat. The car is amazing inside and out with timeless style/lines. It’s got power to throw the car around yet has the ability to be tame. It handles well, looks amazing and just screams American Muscle.

Many owners of 2016 Chevrolet Corvettes (some 2015's) are reporting on various internet sites IE: Corvette Forum. Stingray Forum, that their new Corvettes, primarily base models with automatic transmissions produce a 'WARBLE' type noise at exactly 1500 RPM under light throttle load , as when going up a slight grade. I am one of said owners. Go to these internet sites and look up 'WARBLE' and even view the video / audio of the issue / complaint. Currently I understand that owners are invoking the lemon law process; GM 'supposedly' has taken back vehicle (s). Basically there is no proven correction at this time. I too have contacted GM and like many others, I was given a "case number". It's been awhile; GM has been involved deeply; taken cars back in exchange...under pretense of studying them. However; GM IS REMAINING VERY QUIET about this serious issue. WHY ? Dealing with this corporation; their possibly covert approach to this serious matter will make GM owners uncomfortable...if they care to listen. Meanwhile, my C7 Stingray, auto has had the differential changed; a improvement is noted but the "WARBLE" goes on.................. and on.....................!

Purchased the 16 Sting Ray Sept 1, 2016 with 3000 miles. At 5,000 miles, thought there was something wrong with the tires. Since the tires are "summer" did not pay much attention to the matter in the winter months. Spring comes..still the same...had the co-owner of the dealership drive the car. He said it was the transmission (problem 4th & 5th gear-automatic). Mechanic installed a new torque converter. When replacing the converter, he told me the car had a fuel leak. As far as I can tell, the transmission is operating correctly after the repair ($2500..thanks, under warranty). The car has ample power and gas mileage is very good. Visibility on the side is very poor. Lots of compliments , especially on the color. I do like the car...power, styling, gas mileage but wish Corvette offered blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alert. Don't think I would purchase another Vet unless the safety features are installed.

1. there is a $1,300 gas guzzler tax for the 8 sp automatic. 2.Fuel mileage for the 8sp auto is down right awful. The manual has no tax and mileage is way up compared to the automatic. 3. If you did not purchase the aero package then you are going to have road rash on the leading front edges of the rear fenders very expensive to repair. 2. Watch tire wear closely, tires have only 7/32 tread brand new and any alignment issues will present themselves within the first 2 or 3 thousand miles. In ref to my first review, at this point in time the least expensive way to go is with after market skirts. Bear in mind, this fix only applies to 2015 and 2016 Zo6's. The GOOD NEW's is the 2017 Zo6's and GrandSports all come with the side skirts. Still the best bang for the buck. Fuel mileage has picked up a tick to 22mpg. Better but with the cylinder deactivation feature I still think it should be more. Even with the sideskirts GM still has not addressed proper paint protection for the rear fenders of the GrandSport or Zo6

Pure excitement every time I take it out for a spin, very smooth and comfortable ride, car draws attention, lets base fuel economy on driving habits, if you romp on it you are gonna get poor fuel economy, car sits low to the ground, I have no problem getting in and out, great visibility from front and sides, rear not the best due to the Z07 rear Spoiler, rear view mirror is great until it gets dark out, it auto tints, and there is no way to turn it off, audio system is top of the line, LOVE it, 2 USB ports 1 Audio Jack, Zone heating and cooling, remote starter, remote Convertible top, 2LZ, 2 sets of golf clubs, or a 500.00 shopping spree of shoes and clothing will fit in the trunk with ease, great car you cant go wrong, good luck.

Lovely white LT2 with hot red interior. Refined quality and a thrill to drive. The car looks hots! As for safety, I would’ve expected Chevy at this day and age to be up on the game with lane departure assistance. The blind spot is horrible and you can easily get in a bind especially in highly flooded traffic areas where people are in a rush. This is absolutely unacceptable for any 2016 to come in such. I love the Bose system and heads up display. Car has a mean rumble. Tires are pricey but HEY......corvette is a lifestyle! They gas mileage is great. I had to return to the dealer because a piece on the front grille popped out and the gas top was stuck and wouldn’t open. It was replaced under warranty. Other than that, its a real beauty. This girl loves her vette. It’s not family friendly so if you need it as a primary car, then don’t waste your money because the value drops quickly in case you would need to trade out!!

This is the first automatic sports car I have owned, and I've owned many! For work I am always in an automatic van or truck, whose shifting is less then smooth. I was totally impressed by the 8- speed automatic, and honestly don't miss the manual one bit. It shifts faster then I ever could and let's me focus more on the drive. I Now understand why so many sports cars are ditching their manual option. So I agree with others and try both. Otherwise an exceptional ride and turns heads everywhere.

Bought 2016 C7 used, and the first 'vette owned. Amazing car, daily driver, great for buying groceries and then a trip to the local track. Only grip is some cheaper interior plastic bits below knee level and easy to scrape lower door jam thin plastic moldings. But you cannot buy more for your money. My only regret is waiting so long to buy a C7. Trim, drive-ability top notch. Best car I've ever owned. The antithesis to Mr. Roboto self driving cookie-cutter slot cars of the future. The C7 is plain sheer driving fun!

Traded my 2012 Grand Sport in on a new '16 Stingray. Found on a showroom in Ky at the end of model year. Great trade-in on my pristine GS as well as GM loyalty rebate and excellent dealer pricing. Absolutely love this car - my first auto on a vette. Car as $17G in options but wanted the Shark Grary Metallic exterior w/Kalahari interior. Black stinger stripe, mirrors and spoiler with transparent top w/red calipers. Absolutely gorgeous. Quieter than my GS convertible and beautiful interior design and function. The nav. system greatly improved and got 19.5 mpg on my 450 mile trip home from dealer. Feels like you are in a cockpit, much improved ride over my GS, as car feels smaller and you aim it more that steer it! Time will tell how it holds up but I am in love with this car! People gush over it. 2018 Update: Well it has been 18 mos. and 16,000 miles on the car and it has more than lived up to my initial review. We to it on a 3,000 mile road trip to Key West Florida and it performed extremely well and we got 30 mpg at times and kept it in touring mode all of the time. It is quite comfortable and I love the power it has - especially getting on the highway in the accelerator lane or passing another car with the exhaust opened. We had burlwood installed on the dash, center console, steering wheel and door control accents which, with the Kalahari interior, makes for a luxurious interior and won Best Interior Award over 350 vettes at the 2017 Corvette Show in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Also won in Columbia & Osage Beach, Missouri Shows. Have not had one problem with the vehicle and cannot wait to leave this week for another long road trip to St. George Island in the Florica Panhandle and onto Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, Alabama. This vette is a keeper. If Bo Derek was a car, I am sure this is how she would handle!

This animal of a corvette is an unbelievable screaming machine on a track or a pussycat around town in Eco mode on 4 cylinders. After two and 12,000, this Corvette still amazes me! The power, smoothness, and dependability is still is remarkable. Everyone is waiting for the mid-engine corvette in 2020 but my 2016 is such a great car, I don’t know what would make me get a new 2020. We’ll see what happens when the 2020’s come out...

Be Cautious with a C7
Disappointed Idaho Corvette Owner, 08/10/2017
2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2dr Coupe w/2LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)

The C7 is a fun car to drive but I must say my C6 had better visibility and more interior room. The quality of my C7 was really marginal which lead to my decision to sell. It was really frustrating that the cooled seats did not work, the start/stop button sometimes worked, sometimes it did not. The windshield was such poor quality that when driving into the sun all I could see where the bubbles in the glass. The memory seats only worked when they were in the mood. The seats are now so small that my 5' 11" 190lb body was always sitting on the bolsters vs actually sitting in the seat. The list goes on and on. Don't get my wrong, the car was fun to drive, lots of power and handles well. It was all the things that did not work and the Chevy Dealer telling me not to bring the car back to him as he could not fix the problems with the car. I expected more from a $70,000 car. I wish I'd have kept my C6!

I've owned both a 2015 and a 2016 model. Both have been exception in quality and pure pleasure to drive. No other car has excited me as much as the Corvette in many years. I would love to see them come out with a hard-top convertible- I think the lines with the rag top convertible are lacking when compared to the coupe- that said, with the top down the convertible is stunning. Will probably never happen- a hard top convertible would add substantial weight to the vehicle.

First off, Ive owned a few corvettes in my day. First an 89' coupe AUTO,, dull interior, no HP but Great MPG won lots of shows, then I saw the C5. One of the BEST cars I ever owned! Great MPG, AWESOME looks, very comfortable, handling was GREAT,but AGAIN, even though is was pretty quick and sounded great, it was an AUTO. The car never needed any repairs but with 100,000 mile mark with NO ISSUES, I broke down and bought a used 2015 C7 LOADED with ALL the options including a 7 spd Manual (460HP, that got 30.5 MPG!) Fast, EXTREMELY comfortable, but it was BLACK! (too much work to keep it clean) AGAIN, NO Mechanical Issues!,Then I traded it in for a STUNNING Laguna Blue Tint coat C7 ZO6, 650 HP, 650 TQ 7spd manual, and WOW, was I impressed SCARY FAST! The ONLY thing I didnt like about BOTH the C7 and the C7 ZO6, was they did NOT have ceramic brakes! ( the continuous brake dust made me NUTS! So I had the Dealer install a set of ceramic pads which I bought on line from "West Coast Corvettes" for $400.00 . Not only did the car stop on a dime, but the annoying brake dust was NO MORE! My opinion of the C7 is BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK! Stylish, GREAT interior, MPG, and be prepared for LOST of honks and THUMBS UPS! GO GET YOU ONE, you WONT be dissapointed!

Best bang for the buck if you are looking for a v8 sport car. Really low maintenance cost And good on gas. Expect some squeaks and little rattles, nothing major, usually addressed easily.

Smoke the tires, lay 100 ft. of rubber, run at 160 MPH or just cruise at 80 MPH at 31.1 MPG. This is not your father's Sports Car !!! Traction control works and is advisable normally but if you want to GO switch to Track mode and turn off traction control. Just keep in mind there is nothing reasonable to repair on this car. A clear on ramp will leave you going 100 MPH which is way faster than the traffic you are merging into so brakes if used sparingly are needed. By the way the brakes work great just remember this is a base model so expect pushing it will heat the brakes causing fade and reduced life. Just limit your play time and this car will give good service for a long time. Power is power so 455 HP will go to 650 HP with just addition of a $5000 supercharger but there are reasons why there is a $30000 difference between base and Z06. Thirty percent is GM greed but the other 70% is all need. So don't just jack up the horsepower and think you beat the curve. Mine is Shark Grey Metallic, what a beautiful car !!!

The Warble

I notice the "warble" when it goes from 8 cylinders to 4 cylinders. I think mine might have an issue as it seems to switch between 4 and 8 at times that I think it should not and way too frequently. Mine switches back and forth when there is no change in accelerator position or load, as in going up hill or down hill. The "warble" only lasts a second but it still is noticeable to me. I equate it to the pinging you used to hear from engines running on low octane fuel and accelerating. My car has never had anything in it but premium 93 octane fuel. It is a minor vibration when it happens but is still noticeable by me. I have yet to take it in under warranty as I know some mechanic will drive it for miles trying to replicate my complaint and I only let "special" people drive my Z51 3LT.

Hard to get in and out of, sits very low, a seam in the seat cushion is poorly placed and makes it uncomfortable, clutch engagement is short, and very high in the length of travel. The fact that it sits so low is somewhat unsettling when driving in heavy highway traffic. Overall, disappointing Did not keep it very long. You should expect to sit low in a car like this, but you have to be sure you are comfortable with doing so and dealing with entry and exit.

This is my 1st corvette and I absolutely love the car. The power is simply amazing! I have an M7 and when I add the active rev match and mash the petal this car moves.... The seats are comfortable and I am surprised how quickly I adjusted to sitting so low to the ground. Once your in the cabin you only notice how low you are when you pull up to a light with an SUV next to you. The sound system is great and the subwoofer makes the Windows rattle. If their was a complaint I would have to say that when the drive mode is set to "E" the steering wheel is rather loose. If you should decide to purchase a vette get ready for the admirers as at one point or another we all were.

Most fun to drive of any car in my 71 years. Purchased this 2016 brand new. Comfort very surprisingly super. Performance terrific. Problems from day ONE STILL UNRESOLVED. Air conditioner/climate control wildly hot to only cool - never ever cold. Seat cooling works mildly just a few times in the two years we have had it. First year a horribly loud vibration when going up a hill. Selling dealer took it for joy rides and left the suspension at the hardest/racing setting. The cabin cooling and seat cooling still unresolved. Second dealer I went to is trying, but NO results. This car has been in dealers shops perhaps two dozen times for up to three weeks at a time. Gas mileage unbelievably wonderful. Long Beach Red - be prepared for people to follow you to a parking lot to look closer and compliment appearance. I've wanted a Corvette since I saw the very first one in 1953. We're driving the car off the selling dealers lot and Priince's "Give me a Red Corvette" comes on XM - Bridge. People follow us in the freeway in our blind spot just to look for miles then pass and wave. Take all of the remarkably wonderful things about this car that we love, put it against the horrid reliability and amount of time it's been in the shop - is it worth it? Absolutely NOT. This is by far the most disappointing motor vehicle I've had Ever and I've had 13 brand new ones. For the first time in my life, I REGRET BUYING IT......................................... Be prepared for all the crap you will have to learn to tolerate if you buy one. Chevy complaints in the sky? All they did was to tell me to go to other dealers to see if they could fix it......... We have driven this vehicle with love and care and serviced as recommended................................................... Go buy a Mustang instead. 10-16-18: No change. Still terribly disappointed with this car. No one should buy a corvette - their service is horrid and at least two dealers are despicable - Reliable and Casa in Albuquerque. I WILL get a Mustang next time - after this POS corvette depreciates to zero as all of them do. I was treated horribly by those two dealers. Air conditioner still iffy - seat cooling has worked only ONE time very briefly since the first review........................

Fourth corvette. Obviously, I am a fan, but the Chevy interior design team or engineers must have been convinced that they did such a great job with the rest of the C7, they could go home early and leave the cup holder to their kids. Frustrating to turn a corner and have coffee spill all over the seats or the driver.

My advice is to compare the Grand Sport against the Z06 prior to purchasing. They both have power but the Z06 is insane.

I had personally never owned an American made car. Mercedes Benz and BMW’s have been my car of choice for 39 years. I’d never had any thoughts of about a Corvette, until my husband asked my if I’d seen the latest Corvette. I looked at it on-line, and I immediately fell in love with the car. We decided to go to a local dealership and look at the (C7) Corvette. I researched the car, and found great reviews. A few days later I traded my Mercedes and my Z4 BMW and purchased a brand new 2016 Corvette. I have not looked back. This C7 Corvette is a special car. I have the best of both worlds as my husband and I also own a new Mercedes.

For a sports car with blindspots the car offers absolutely no safety features re such, as if there were no such features such as blind lane warning and side radar. And no emergency sensing braking either. Also, for the side mirrors, no option to have automatic folding when one puts the car in park. A huge disappointment, a "total blind spot" on Chevy's part yet you see such on cars half the price.

First and foremost I am a ASE master tech . I own 2 transmission shops here in Colorado . I owned a brand new 2008 GT500 ( 531 rwhp ) sold that and I bought a brand new 2011 GS corvette ( I highly modified it , 525rwhp ) then sold that and bought a brand new 2014 Camaro ZL1 and modified it to 698 rwhp 690 Rwtq. Got the itch again and in the beginning of 16 sold it and bought a 2013 GT 500 with a 5.8 with 2300 miles on it then modified it to 701 rwhp a true beast! Then did what most Mustang owner do ..... crashes it :( so went looking for a indepentant rear hot rod again . I came across this car in the summer of 16 . My first Vette I could control it so well that I could power slid through parking lots with the tires blazing .... the camaro was heavier so not as fun but could pull 3 gear tire blazing burnouts slightly pitched sideways but in complete control . Lots of fun ! Both mustangs SUCKED !!! Very uncontrollable and scary . But the 13 GT 500 was cool to just cruse around in . Now that you understand my background this 2016 Z06’s is amazing . I’ve done nothing to it because it’s legitimately as fast as all my other cars . Seriously ! The other GM cars had cams and headers , pullies etc but this bitch is ridiculous ! It’s a very Light Car and acceleration at an insane rate of speed ! Holds the road like a race car ! Do a 6/3 downshift at night at around 60 degrees it will light up the traction control light while pinning you , let me say that again PINNING you into the seat ! I have Ceramic Brakes so every time I hit them I feel like I’m gonna go through the windshield . But I’ve had to stop abruptly more than once and WOW it the perfect word! This car makes and average driver into a racer car caliber driver ! That’s how good it is . It does get hot when driven aggressively on mountain roads in the summer but I’m going to do the appropriate upgrades to address that maybe . I have a ZL1 that I’m putting a LSX 454 in so I think I just want to keep in stock for the car shows in 20 years . I highly recommend this vehicle !

Bought mine used with 8k on it..First thing i did was put new michelin all seasons on it being winter time..Goes through snow pretty good no issues with traction ect. I get 27 mpg and love the auto except for the shudder. I will upgrade converter some day when i find one that you can swap it with. Has 30k on it now with no issues so far..I always get looks like im in a 500k lambo or something..i just think to myself theres lots of corvettes out here im nothing special but its cool..other vet guys flash there lights and even had camaro zl1 give me a thumbs up..my next vet if i get another one will be the z06..Going to track it someday to really open it up..Handles the corners great..30mph sharp corner im doing 57-60mph with not even a squeal..love it.. UPDATE: 75k miles and still love this z51..all stock with only 1 minor upgrade the Z06 black wheels..I’ve gone against several cars on short highway racing and beat everyone..Camaro bmw challenger skat pack even 1 Porsche 911..I average 26 mpg highway on long trips..8 speed auto shifts fast..don’t know why some reviews complain about it..awesome car

My 3rd corvette and this one is an adventure to drive with either the top up or down. It's fast,sexy and handles like a race car. It draws looks from everyone when driven or parked. It has this fighter jet look that everyone loves. Buy one,you won't regret it.
