Frankly, the car could use the help: outward vision is miserable to the rear quarters. Chevy sells the Corvette in three basic flavors. Each of those models—Stingray, Grand Sport, and Z06—each come in a variety of trim levels, and in either convertible or coupe body style.
With all of them, Chevy gets kudos for content. The Corvette offers a great selection of standard equipment, lots of well-conceived features, a useful infotainment system, and a killer app in the form of its performance data recorder. We give it a 10 out of 10 for this category. All Corvettes come with power features; dual-zone automatic climate control; an infotainment system with an 8. Additional trim packages add to those models with HD radio; speaker Bose audio; competition sport seats; custom luggage; and navigation.
The Z06 and Grand Sport can be cranked to 11 with the Z07 package, which combines Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, adjustable front and rear aero components, and Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires for a true track-attack vehicle. Also included with the Z51 package is a set of aerodynamic upgrades.
Adjustable ride control settings are available with the Magnetic Selective Ride Control option, enabling various levels of ride comfort and performance. The magnetic ride suspension is available without the Z51 package and comes bundled with the Z51's rear spoiler and wheels.
Z06 buyers can also sign up to build the LT4 engine for their new Corvette at the Bowling Green engine facility. And a personalized dash plaque is also on offer to make the 'Vette truly your own. Corvettes come in either naturally aspirated or supercharged form; the Stingray and Grand Sport use the former LT1 engine, while the Z06 sports the latter LT4. Gas mileage with any Corvette is as you'd suspect: OK for what it is, subpar by any rational measure—even though all models have cylinder deactivation and tall top gears to help boost economy in low-load and high-speed cruising.
We give it a 5 for fuel economy, based on the EPA averages for its best-selling models. Those numbers have dropped significantly, thanks to a tighter calibration on the EPA's test cycle. Research By Category Body Style. Start a Loan Request Form Today!
