2017 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2dr Coupe w/1LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)
22 of 22 people found this review helpful
The 2017 Corvette in all its forms is an incredible machine. Reviews found all over the Internet from reputable organizations rate the 2017 Corvette as one of the best values out there. The technology is incredible. On a leisurely trip of about 130 miles I averaged 30.5 m.p.g. because when being driven leisurely, four cylinders shut down and mileage improves significantly. But when you want to tap that 455 h.p. engine just get on it and the entire car comes to life instantaneously pushing you back into the seat with incredible power. Handling is what you'd expect from a Corvette - measured, responsive and very confidence-inspiring. This is an incredible muscle car with great manners when you want them with great power and agility when you want to get a little more aggressive. At its price point, I can't imagine how you can beat a C7 Corvette regardless of which model you choose.

An eight-month love affair...

2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 2dr Convertible w/2LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)
48 of 50 people found this review helpful
I've had my white Grand Sport convertible with 8-speed auto transmission for eight months now and I still absolutely love her. I've put 9,300 miles on her; the first 2,000 a very careful break-in, then 7,000 miles of grand touring driving: from Austin, Texas to Key West, Florida and back by way of the southern Appalachian mountains, then a quick trip from Austin to Denver and back. Plus some 'spirited' driving on the back roads around Austin. You definitely will want a good radar + laser detector, plus Waze on your smart device if you drive this machine! And after those eight months I am still head-over-heels in love with my baby (I named her "Emoji" because from the front the headlights and grill give her the look of one of those slanty-eyed happy face emoticons). This car is, in my opinion, the sweet spot of the Corvette lineup, and the culmination of seven generations of engineering. This is a supercar in everything but price. For the price of a Ferrari F12 you can buy FIVE Grand Sports and have enough left over to buy gas for all for a year each, probably, and yet lap times for each are pretty much identical (ok, in Car & Driver's Lightning Lap face-off the GS bests the F12 by several seconds around Virginia International Raceway). This is a car that is at home on twisty backroads, the Autobahn, and the racetrack, and there are not that many production cars that can come close to the performance, gas mileage, and grand touring comfort - and possibly none for the price. Very few cons, in my opinion: 1) Limited luggage capacity in the convertible, but much better in the coupe; 2) not a car for winter driving in snow/ice climates, as there are no winter/snow tires available; 3) visibility, especially on the rear quarters, could be better; 4) seats could use more lateral support for a car capable of 1.1 G lateral force when cornering on street tires (but they are miles ahead of previous generation Corvette seats, and actually do provide some lateral support!); 5) if you value privacy you will get tired of people complimenting you when stopped at traffic lights! :) Other than that there's really very little that I find annoying about this wonderful machine. Highly recommended, if you are in the market for a two-seater touring/racing/sports car. And I haven't even mentioned things like the dry-sump lubrication (keeps the engine oiled during hard cornering/accel/braking), magnetic shock absorbers (monitors road conditions and adjusts the ride 180 times a second for road/driving conditions), and phenomenal braking ability (70-0 in 136 feet on stock tires!), nor have I mentioned the vastly-improved cabin appointments, with heated/ventilated seats, passenger climate controls on the passenger vent, heads-up instrumentation, etc. etc.). Oh, and this website does not seem to allow line breaks, so sorry for the one big run-on paragraph. Respectfully, Delta Foxtrot, Austin, Texas.

So far absolutely no cons. As expected great acceleration, handling and braking. Good electronics however missing lane change warning which is pretty much standard on most new vehicles. The front camera (2lt) is a great feature helping to avoid pulling in too close to a curb with it's very long and low front end. The different driving modes are a lot of fun.I was pleasantly surprised with the exceptional gas mileage in touring and eco mode. Well worth the price for a true American sports car.

2018 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 2dr Convertible w/3LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)
12 of 12 people found this review helpful
This is my second Corvette, having owned a 2006 Corvette convertible previously. The improvements made over the years are very noticeable. I bought a Grand Sport because it shares the body of the Z06 but has the engine of the Stingray. At 460 horsepower, believe me, it's plenty powerful! The car tracks while driving like it's on rails. Cornering, straight-line acceleration, overall performance, engine sound - all outstanding! I consider the exterior styling of the C7's to be outstanding (eye of the beholder?). The interior is also beautiful. My car has the 3LT package, which is really luxurious. Chevy offers plenty of options so you can customize your car however you want it. If you're going to spend this much money on a car, I strongly recommending ordering it directly from the factory through your local dealer rather than just buying what you find on the showroom floor. My only negative comment involves rear visibility, which is only average (at best). This could be just applicable to the convertible due to the size of the rear window - the coupe version rear visibility may be better. Of course, the outside visibility is fantastic with the top down!!

This is the second C7 I’ve owned. I’ve owned 7 Corvettes in all and the 2017 Z06 is by far the best one I’ve ever had. Except for the summer only tires restricting me to warm weather driving (above 40 degrees) I have nothing but good to say about this car. Now my update--I recently bought all season tires so the above restriction no longer applies. I've now got 23000 in 2 1/2 of driving this machine. Not an ounce of trouble with this car.

A bit pricey but the 2LT does give you everything you need/want in a comfortable/capable race car. It is NOT a sports car like a miata or bmw, 370Z, Mustang GT... and not a muscle car (Challenger, etc.) this is a Race car and it feels all of it. Those other cars cannot compete nor compare. A year later, still love the car, absolutely no problems with any system. Looking to replace the tires this year (pricey) but expected that. Remains a Very comfortable to drive and a Very nimble car. Two Years Later....late 2018, still low mileage. No problems with any system. Only Routine maintenance performed or needed. Still quite quick. Three years later....early 2019....still low milage, no problems with interior systems except replaced touch screen, no issue. Have replaced two tires (warrantied) still quite quick..

2017 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2dr Coupe w/3LZ (6.2L 8cyl S/C 7M)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful
For the past six months I have owned my first Corvette, and I have to admit I was a bit hesitant at first about purchasing one but boy was I wrong. Even though it is American made, the quality of the car is top notch and it feels very well built. So far I have found almost zero things to complain about with this vehicle. The stock exhaust note is great because its isn't insanely loud but it is definitely loud enough and the acceleration is mind boggling. I have yet to come even close to pushing this car to the limit and in all honesty I don't think I ever will. Its surprisingly comfortable as well and if you put it into touring mode the suspension becomes very soft and supple which is something I never would have expected. If there is one thing that I can complain about, it would have to be the traction that seems almost impossible to get any time you hit the gas peddle even a little bit. It isn't necessarily touchy but you have to be very cautious and aware that the backend will get loose very quickly. Another thing that I love about my z06 is the exterior styling. The car is very sexy and sleek and if it weren't for the Corvette badge on the front, I could easily mistake it for a Ferrari. Overall I am head over heels in love with my z06 and would definitely recommend this to anyone in the market looking for supercar performance at an unbeatable price.

Not my first Corvette, but my first of the current generation. Head and shoulders better car than the previous model. Better or equal to much more expensive sports cars in terms of driving enjoyment and cost of operation, with a much lower buy in point. Truly an iconic American classic car.

Buyer Beware! Bending and Cracking Wheels on C7

2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 2dr Coupe w/2LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)
27 of 31 people found this review helpful
The wheels on C7 Grand Sport and Z06 models are bending and cracking under normal driving conditions -- brand new or at very low miles. Instead of recalling or replacing under bumper to bumper warranty, GM is throwing owners to the wolves claiming "road damage." Wheel warranties may cover cosmetic damage, but won't necessarily cover bent or cracked wheels. If you buy one of these vehicles prepare to spend 3-4 thousand additional dollars for new wheels when the factory wheels crack or bend within the first few thousand miles. Shameful and potentially dangerous.

The only thing that made turning in my C6 tolerable was driving home with my C7. I have owned my 2017 C7 for nearly one year now. No realizability issues...knock on wood. The car is very fast, super looking inside and out and has the comfort of an everyday car. The interior is a major (did I say major?) improvement over previous models. An amazing value. In my opinion, the C7 is among the top (if not the top) corvette ever made. I have had my share of corvettes but this one is my favorite.

I had the 2016 Corvette Z-51 first and I purchased this one exactly one year later. This one is so much more power. The regular is probably all the power anyone could ever use on the street. This regular corvette would make a very good everyday driver. The second with all that power you would just be looking at way to much expense in tires. The tires are only good for about 15k miles. If you want the ultimate affordable car the Z06 is it. The speed it can achieve so quickly is crazy. The shear thrill and smile on your face is second to none! I have the A8 transmission and no one needs a 7 speed manual in this car. It is impossible to shift that fast. The automatic is faster 0-60mph by a few 10th's.

after many updates by the dealer (mainly new types of transmission fluid) the transmission still behaves erratically at random times, its just not fixable. This unfixable issue plus the irritating ticking noise from the engine (sounds like an old truck with a leaky exhaust), make the car a never buy again proposition - the car has now 18K miles only (after 3 years)

This is the only high performance car under 150k I had not owned. I made the buying decision based on the lines. This is a bad boy car. Looks so good. Comfort is good. Road noise is certainly there, but is covers by the loud engine. Instruments are easy to operate. It is a low slung car. So you get all that goes with it. The trunk will hold a spinning wheel. Haven’t tried luggage yet. I drive in economy mode so gas mileage is 22- ish. Unless I hot rod, then it drops considerable. I drive pretty conservatively unless I need to show out. Front camera is a great option so as not to hit curbs. I do wish it had lane change assist. It is not a car for everyone. I smile when I see it. And love the way I feel driving it. It is one of those cars that give you a thrill driving.

Shoppers be ware - I purchased my 2017 Grand Sport, Black Rose (color) in July 2017 with 15 miles on odometer from a reputable dealer in Michigan. I drove it back to Virginia, pleased as punch! On August 31st after 900 miles, my Grand Sport is in the shop with transmission problems. The vehicle suddenly would not shift gears when parked (park to reverse). Had to be put on a rollback and take to a local Chevy/GM dealer. So far they are telling me it is not the TCM, Looking at sensors now. . . It is Labor Day Weekend . .. really wanted to be out and about with my local vette club . .. sitting at home trying to find out how many other 2017s have had this issue and thinking to myself, I just wasted $70,000. Took me 22 years to save up and make this purchase. The degree of disappointment and disbelief is indescribable. Feedback and advice is most welcome.

If you like blistering acceleration, road holding grip equal to a full blown race car, an interior fitting to a luxury jet, overall aggressive looks that rival any super car, look no further. Corvette ZO6 Coupe will deliver all this and more. Enjoyed 10,200 miles so far zero issues. It’s addictive to drive and very addictive to drive fast. During very “spirited” driving sessions No overheating of any kind even during peak summer heat waves of 105 degrees and climbing up a steep grade. That issue, if there ever really was one has been resolved. A Torch Red C7 Corvette turns heads where ever you drive. Invites a lot of questions and interest when ever parked or gassing up. If your a shy quiet type I’d suggest a you drive a dull slug Pris. Only one issue since las lt update. AC compressor had a crack and was dripping lubricant. AC was functioning normally. GM covered 80% of the cost of a new AC compressor, even though the warrant had expired two years earlier. Other than is hiccup the Z06 is flawless and actually increasing in value since 2021 due to demand for the last generation of front engine Corvettes and being Supercharged! I have driven C8 Mid Engine Corvettes both the Stingray & Z06 versions…i personally still prefer the traditional front engine rear wheel drive. I like looking over that long muscular hood. I also like the openness of the interior vs the cramped interior of the mid engine.

This is a world class sports car from GM. Finally a Corvette that I wanted to own. Ever since I saw the C7 on the road a few years ago I was struck by the incredible exterior styling. It is a strikingly beautiful car. The only thing I wondered was could it deliver on performance and engineering to compete with Porsche,Audi and the rest? The answer is YES IT CAN! Say what you will about GM using old push-rod technology in the engine bay but this motor just rocks. Power comes on fast and is always there when you want it and there is plenty off it. The 7 speed manual is very good and as smooth as my old Miata. Short throws and positive engagement every shift. The car handles very well. I did not want the tack goodies that the Z51 or Grand Sport provide. I got the Magnetic ride as an option to help button the car down on spirited rides and makes things a bit plusher when cruising through town. This is a do it all sports car. Yes it has a stigma of being an old guys retirement car but this C7 has changed that perception. It is a real world sports car with Super car type performance for a very reasonable price.

I have been fortunate to have owned quite a few amazing cars over the years (C5 corvette, 997.2 Carrera, GT500, ZL-1, and 991.1 Carrera), and this one is quite simply superb. The design, power, and handling are phenomenal. There is so little to find fault with! The acceleration is addictive. The carbon ceramic brakes are powerful and clean! The targa top is a welcomed feature, as is the front-parking camera. Chevrolet knocked it out of the park with the 2017 Z06.

Owned the car now for 2 years, it was purchased new. Only trip to the dealership was for the free oil changes. This has been a great car and can easily be your daily driver if you don't see a lot of snow or need seating for more than 2 people. The only real competition is the Porsche Cayman or Boxster. I found even though MSRP's are not that far apart real world pricing is. The Grand Sport's can be bought below MSRP where the Porsche's are alway's 20K more than MSRP. This is due to the high priced options found in the Porsche line up. I bought my Grand Sport for just over $60K could not find a Cayman under $80K. At the end of the day I felt the Porsche is a little better quality car but not worth the price tag especially when you factor in the maintenance. If you're into performance the Corvette will win you over when compared to the Cayman/Boxster. To match it in the Porsche line you will spend double the money and have to move up to a 911. Instead I bought a pick up truck for my neighbors to borrow and haul their stuff.

The Z06 has 650 horsepower that has to be respected. Even with traction control you can fish tail the car, so don't be surprised when you punch the accelerator from a standing start. The car is easy to drive in all conditions with the appropriate driving mode. The front splitter on the ZO6 is low so you'll need to always be mindful of speed bumps in parking lots, parking the car and when entering driveways. This is not a problem as long as you activate the front cameras which is active at low speeds (5mph). I strongly suggest you enroll in the performance driving school at Spring Mountain, NV to learn all about the capabilities of the car. This C7 Corvette is packed with features not found in other high performance cars such as the PerformanceDataRecorder (PDR) that can be used to record your drive with performance data even in valet mode. 7th gear fuel economy is excellent over long stretches of highway driving. No need to place the car in economy mode which reportedly stresses the engine and allows it to automatically deactivate cylinders and switch between V4 and V8. After over two years of trouble free ownership, only scheduled maintenance was required which was covered by the warranty.

My slightly used 2017 C7 Grand Sport is Corvette number 3. My first was 1998 C5 Coupe, second is 2008 C6 Z06 427/505 Wil Cooksey Limited Edition #313. I never thought another Corvette could take my breath away until the delivery door opened and I saw for the first time my 2017 Watkins Glen Gray 3LT, C7 Grand Sport. It was absolute joy for this 72 yr. old BOOMER. Grandest of the Grand Sports and it's mine. One year ownership anniversary March 27, 2021. Enjoy it more every day. My easy escape during pandemic year! Great companion with our '08 Z06. Corvette obsessed for sure!

I am 79 and this 2018 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible is fantastic, we have taken it on long trips and the ride is very comfortable. My wife and I do not have trouble getting in an out; however, we exercise regularly. Gas mileage is great out on the expressway; however, if you have a heavy foot expect it to be lower. Limited cargo space when convertible top is lowered as it consumes much of trunk space. On trips where you do not expect to lower top, you can lower the trunk protective divider for a little more trunk space 10.5” T x 18”D x 42” W. Regular trunk space will hold 2 travel bags that you can carry on an airplane. Expect to get a lot of thumbs up as the Corvette has great styling. My only complaint is the Corvette does not have Adaptive Cruise Control, Integrated Turn Signal Mirrors, Blind Spot Monitor, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Cross Traffic Alert. At 6,000 miles had to pay to have a triple flush of transmission fluid, at that time dealer found a cracked rear rim that is a factory defect; however, GM does not agree and has won numerous lawsuits over cracked rims. Had to buy a new rim $1300.00. Buyers of used 2018 Corvettes, be aware of the 8 speed transmission and of the known issue of cracked wheel rims.

This Car Has Plenty of POWER & SEX APPEAL, The Blue Tooth is Really Convenient, The 8 Speed Transmission Helps with the Gas Mileage, I do wish the Stereo was just a little Stronger with the Top Down, But the Handling of the Car with the Michelin Pro Cup tires Stay Glued to the Road As long as the Traction Control is on. Its The BEST CORVETTE BY FAR, & I started driving them in 1969. Its going to be hard to Top this Z06 3LZ WHITE Convertible with the Spice Package for Under $110,000.

This is a very high performance car, but beyond that you can feel the GM culture of just not trying to build a quality car. When bought new the wheels were out of balance and the front end was not aligned properly. The steering wheel was crooked to boot. I have bought numerous Toyotas, Hondas and never would this occur. The seat backs are loose in the hinges - replaced but happened again. Just like a GM car from the 1960s or 70s. The fatal flaw is the 8 speed auto transmission. This is all over the internet so I will not elaborate but it makes the car annoying to drive and the dealer and GM are unable/unwilling to fix it. Despite the performance the net driving experience is negative. Never again. Update: Having concluded that this was the worst quality car I ever owned and the non fixable transmission problem I got rid of it. Not a minute too soon. BTW all the entries on the model drop down menu are "7M". This is an automatic.

This purchase of my 2018 Z51 3LT Stingray Coupe is not my first Corvette. This my 10th Corvette, from T tops, Targa Tops, Convertibles, Autos, Manuals, and 1 ZR1. When I purchased this current Corvette, the Dealerships Internet Department which I dealt, DID NOT disclose to me regarding the GM Service Bulletin regarding WHEEL HOP, at the time I purchased the car in January 2019, which only included 2014 to 2017 Stingrays. When I experienced the SEVERE WHEEL HOPPING at parking lot speeds , in HARD RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS, I thought something was wrong. When I took the car back to the dealership at that time they printed the aforementioned GM BULLETIN, which says it’s NORMAL. I started a LEMON LAW with GM and was told ITS NORMAL, I contacted an Attorney and was told his EXPERT said he would not go to court because GM SAYS, ITS NORMAL. I went back to the Dealership I purchased the car from to NO HELP from them. I consider myself a Corvette Enthusiast, but since this experience, I am done with AMERICAS NUMBER ONE SPORTS CAR, yea right!!! By the way, as I stated early in the text, I purchased this car in January 2019 new for $63K and the Dealership I purchased from put a current value on this car at $45K. That’s almost $20K decrease in value in only 5 MONTHS!!!!

If you are looking for a V8 that will have you racing from light to light you are on the right page. This car is fast...really fast. I intially owned a 2016 Corvette - M7 Z51. I thought the Z51 wasn’t fast enough and I wanted more horsepower so I purchased a 2018 Corvette A8 Z06. There is a vast difference between the two. While the Z51 is great at acceleration, handling and braking, the Z06 is far superior. In addition to high performance parts, more torque, bigger tires and better handling the Z06 is a totally different ride. From the front splitter to the rear spoiler, the Z06 looks, feels and acts better. The Z06 handles well and the wider tires are like glue on the concrete. However, the Z06 is nothing to play with as it leaves little room for error. I have had instances where the rear tires have started swaying to the right with the slightest of pedal press. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a Sunday driver, this car works for that as well. One year later and I still have no regrets! *********UPDATE******* After nearly two years there is one thing to report. The rims on the Z06 are very soft. I have had my rims repaired twice. if you get a Z06, be mindful of all types of road hazards.

I love her. She is a show stopper. Have not liked the lines of the Stingray since my last one (1968) until the 2017.

The seating is snug for a 6 foot + guy, but well worth it. There is nothing else I don't like about this car. Actually it has become a positive because you feel like you are in a cockpit and one with the car.

For the corvette buyer, buy what you want from the car and no more. That is, if you want performance for the track or luxury. The base model will give you all you need. The Z06 gives you loads of both, but for a price. Traded a ZR1 in on my 2017 Z06 and not disappointed. Took it to the track almost from the showroom and had a blast. I believe the most performance for the money, So far not many bugs and very reliable.

This is my third vette, and the best! I tell everyone to not take a test drive or they will be hooked. The eight speed automatic is fun and you can run in manual mode if you like or just down shift and upshift in automatic mode. Lots of teasers are coming out on the new C8. I don't care how "good" it will be, because the C7 is truly a sweet automotive dream car that will be relevant for many years to come.

I bought this C7 last year. (2023) It had 12,000 miles on it. The Carfax showed that the original owner kept it well maintained. The car was perfect when I bought it and it remains the same. The fit and finish is exceptional. The ride much improved over my 2008, C6. Lets face it, how many 7 year old cars still turn heads. I still get compliments on its looks. It now has 16,000 miles, I do take it to a Chevy dealer for routine maintenance. I plan to keep it for another couple of years, I expect problem free. Then I will sell it. If it is anything like my C6, I will get a remarkable return. You can't go wrong with a Corvette. I love mine

After driving a Porsche Cayman for a few years, I got tired of the difficulty of getting maintenance, and the high costs associated with it. I wanted to replace it with an American car, so a Corvette was my only choice. I didn’t like the new C8 (I never want another mid-engine car) so I found a nice used C7. My car is a base coupe with the 3LT option package. I like it very much, and it has a better ride and is quieter than the Cayman was. I didn’t warn a GS because I saw no practical advantage to having one, and the prospect of spending a lot of money to replace the larger tires was demotivating. I have had C5 and C6 Corvettes in the past, and the C7 is better by far, particularly in regard to the seats. There are too many electronic gizmos, though - I would have preferred something less complicated. It is also on the line between fast and too fast. The acceleration can be exhilarating, but also unnerving. Overall, however, a fine and well-made car that is very pleasing.

Purchased new 2018 Corvette Stingray. The car can't even last 4,235 miles without having to go to the shop due to engine misfire in # 7 cylinder, then have to wait a week for an appointment is very disappointing. After this problem is resolved I am getting rid of it. If a car can't make it this far I can't imagine what the repair costs would be after warranty expires.

The stereo system isn't as great as the car. The infotainment screen can't be used if streaming from youtube. Reception of radio stations are poor. From time to time the stereo just goes crazy and just change stations and loose the preset stations.

Fast, faster and fastest! Z06 Convertible - This is a drivers car. Don't hand the keys to anyone before taking them to an open lot and letting them get a " practice" drive in first! Won't see yourself coming and going down the road in one of these! 2nd Vet I've bought new and have only done routine maintenance.

When I was a young lad, poor and living in Government housing. My dad had a friend who showed up in a C4 Corvette. I saw the hood pop up backwards and I was hooked. As I grew up and became an adult in the late 90s, one particular model caught my eye. It was the Grand Sport. I didn't know why. Was it the color? The strips on the hood? I don't know. What I did know is that I was going to have one of these cars. Fast forward 15 years and I finally found the one that really got me interested. It was not the perfect representation of a C7 but it had all the things I wanted. Low miles, wide body, suede interior. 1 test drive and it was the car for me. I've owned this car for about 4 years. And it is amazing. The handling, the sounds, the smells. Everything about this car is the culmination of what a Corvette should be. You can take a drive in this car anytime you want. You can take a long trip if you want. Its comfortable. It gets great gas mileage on the interstate when cruising in 7th. This is just a fun car. Does it have some panel issues? Yes. Are they noticeable? Not really. Are there some panel rattles inside? Yes. That happens sometimes. Can they be fixed? Absolutely. Sometimes the imperfections make a car perfect. And this is a car that I will keep going for as long as I can.

I daily drive my car commuting to work every day racking up 1k miles/month. Corvette has always been a practical car with enough trunk space for vacations. I'm 48 years old and I bought a new 2017 Corvette in 6/2017 with a manual transmission. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oKsCaGj_jI I want to enjoy a real sports car while I'm still young (getting in a low car, manual transmission, eyesight and reflexes). TECHNOLOGY: Aerogel heat insulator between engine/transmission and tunnel into the cabin. Aerogel insulation is used in the 2014-2018 Corvette C7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiqjLTIcYC4 at 45:25 minutes. Carbon fiber roof/hood, magnesium seat frames, trunk closing, rev-match manual shifting, engine cylinder deactivation, aluminum chasis, composite body panels, Apple Carplay, NPP performance exhaust, head unit controls everything and you can check on your car remotely/lock/unlcok/monitor status of fluids/tire pressure, keyless entry, push button start, HUD, cooled seats, targa top, Performance data recorder, magnetic suspension that GM licensed to Ferrari, Electronic limited slip differential, 50/50 weight balance, 3300 pounds, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tire on Ferrari, Porsche, $3 million Bugatti, Run-flat tires, 1.05G lateral force in base Stingray or 1.15G in Z06 http://fastestlaps.com/lists/top-grip-kings, 90ft stopping distance from 60-0mph, 3.7 seconds 0-60mph acceleration, 15 cubic foot cargo (2nd biggest for a sports car, after 17 cubic foot Ferrari 812 Superfast), COOL FACTOR: Corvette's rear taillights are 3D (not flat like most cars) like the $300k Aston Martin Zagato.

I got this for my wife when the lease on her BMW was up, but now I'm the one looking for any excuse to drive it. Quick, great handling! And, in this age of turbo 4s and 6s, it actually sounds like a muscle car. Yes, a Tesla will beat it off the line, and Prius will get better mileage...
