C8 Corvette Stingray Price

If you have been waiting for something inspiring and affordable, have you considered a C8 Corvette Stingray for sale? Without any options, Chevrolet offers the C8 Corvette Stingray price below $60,000. This is incredible considering the power and technology found within. Competitors in this segment are several times more expensive, and that is why the C8 Corvette Stingray price is a threat to the world’s most prestigious automakers. Chevrolet is able to do this by using the C8 Corvette Stingray innovations and spread them to other models. Adjusted for inflation, the C8 Corvette Stingray for sale is the most affordable Corvette since 1981.

The Targa top can be body color, tinted glass, or carbon fiber. It is stored behind the engine of the 2020 Corvette Stingray.

C8 Corvette Stingray Review

With more grip and power than any previous base-model, the C8 Corvette Stingray price offers an incredible driving experience. For a proper C8 Corvette Stingray review, you need to understand that it shares only one part with the previous generation. This is the first production Corvette to have a mid-mounted engine. Because of a majority of the weight being located on the rear tires, it won’t understeer when cornering. Choosing your driving mode is essential to the journey, and it is explained below.

Every Corvette since 1963 has used transverse leaf springs in the suspension, but that era is over. The 2020 C8 Corvette uses coil springs and adaptive suspension. In addition to touring and wet driving modes, owners can customize “Z Mode”. It stores a unique blend of herbs and spices to instantly change to your own settings for stability, suspension, exhaust, and steering and brake force. Pressing the Z button on the steering wheel instantly changes the car into your mode. This will keep your fun factor high and your eyes on the road. The low rockers and square steering wheel offer plenty of room, and all of the controls are aimed at the driver. What good is this new American supercar if you can’t get inside?

C8 Corvette Stingray Specs

Since this car is unprecedented, let’s start with the basics of the C8 Corvette Stingray specs. What Chevrolet has delivered is a chassis that is 10% stronger. The aluminum frame is based around a strong central tunnel, and this allows the door sills to below to offer easy entry. A new 6.2L V8 is the first Chevrolet to offer 3 oil pumps. This keeps the engine safe under intense handling. Because GM doesn’t have a proving ground capable of the car’s top speed, they have not disclosed the 1/4 mile or top speeds yet.

Price: $59,995
Engine: 6.2L V8
Transmission: 8-Speed Dual-Clutch Automatic
Horsepower: 495 hp
Torque: 470 lb-ft
0-60 mph: 2.9 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.2 seconds at 123 mph
Top Speed: 194 mph

C8 Corvette Stingray Engine

Now we uncover the heart of the beast. GM invested half a billion dollars into the C8 Corvette Stingray engine plant. Being located at the assembly plant, it is home to the Performance Engine Build Center. This is where the most powerful engines are built since 2014. But staying true to tradition, the skilled folks of UAW Local 774 will build the LT2 6.2L V8 in Tonawanda, New York.

The LT2 engine in the 2020 Corvette Stingray has an oil reserve tank ahead of the timing cover.

It is the first base model Corvette Stingray engine to have dry-sump oiling. Three scavenge pumps prevent aeration to keep the bearings happy. Not only does this prolong the engine’s life, it allows the driver to tackle incredible road courses without heating the oil past its safe limits.

The upper timing chain spins an oil scavenge pump in the lifter valley of the 2020 Corvette Stingray engine.

Thanks to being mounted behind the cockpit, engineers had more headroom to play with. This allowed them to develop a tunnel ram intake manifold and gorgeous stainless steel exhaust headers. These improvements allow the engine to offer 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This means the C8 Corvette Stingray engine is the most powerful and fuel-efficient Corvettes ever offered. While the competition offers dismal mileage, the Corvette Stingray MPG will be over 25 miles per gallon. Options for your C8 Corvette Stingray engine include LED lights around the engine bay, and the intake manifold can be painted to match the body color. None of the competitors have ever offered such options.

C8 Corvette Stingray Transmission

If you thought the engine was unique, you are not ready for the C8 Corvette Stingray transmission. It is the first dual-clutch automatic in GM history. Designed exclusively for the Corvette, Tremec was able to incorporate an electronic differential and 8 forward gears. First gear is for blistering launches. Second to 6th are close ratio. The last two gears are deep overdrives for highway cruising. Even and odd gears are connected to their own shafts, with one being inside the other. This allows power to flow from the crankshaft directly to the driven gear and into the differential. On top is a big heat exchanger that cools the oil by surrounding it with engine coolant from the radiator.

The 2020 Corvette Stingray transmission is compact even with 8 gears.

Without a counter-shaft, power is uninterrupted during the shift. Either actuated by the computer or by the paddle shifters, up or downshifts take less than 100 milliseconds. In terms of the competition, the C8 Corvette Stingray transmission is the most advanced design to-date. It is incredibly less complex than the torque tube it replaces, and it is mounted inline with the crankshaft to give the car a very low center of gravity. If you want three pedals you are out of luck. Much like the first Corvette, there will be no option for a manual transmission. All the power is sent to the ground through an electronic Limited Slip Differential

Polished metal and leather are prominent in the 2020 Corvette Stingray interior.

C8 Corvette Stingray Interior

Without an engine or torque tube up front, designers were able to craft a spacious C8 Corvette Stingray Interior. Not only are the seats much larger, they also come in 3 designs. The customer has the ability to order leather on every surface with unique contrast stitching. Seatbelts also have multiple color choices to truly make it a personal expression. Instrumentation consists of a 12″ screen behind the rectangular steering wheel. Adjacent to the cluster is a prominent touch screen containing infotainment, connectivity, and apps available from Chevrolet.

Climate controls have an elegant arrangement on the 2020 Corvette Stingray.

Perhaps the most polarizing and unique feature of the C8 Corvette Stingray Interior is a spine that divides the center console. Along the top edge are arranged all of the car’s climate controls. Blower speed, vent mode, seat heat, and ventilation are arranged in a logical manner. With each button having a unique shape, the driver can remain focused on the road. This is another slap in the face for the illogical & confusing controls found in the competitors.

C8 Corvette Stingray Brakes

Every 2020 Corvette Stingray will arrive with 19" front and 20" rear wheels.

Some days you just want a relaxing brake pedal. That’s why the C8 Corvette Stingray Brakes incorporate “eBoost”. Instead of a traditional vacuum booster, your foot receives help from an electronic actuator. It has three modes: Tour for comfort, Sport for quick & aggressive stops, and Track is a linear application with the highest level of feedback. The base model C8 Corvette Stingray Brakes feature 4-piston Brembo calipers at each corner. The rotors measure 12.6″ front and 13.6″. If you need more, the Z51 performance package (see below) steps up to 13.3″ front and 13.8″ rotors. They are all cast iron, saving carbon-ceramic for the performance models later on.

This 2020 Corvette Stingray is ready for golf.

Dual 1080p cameras mounted front and rear allow you to playback 16.7 hours of track time, or whatever the valet driver did while you were eating.

If you are worried about the front spoiler, the nose can lift 2″ in 2.8 seconds. It remembers when this is used in GPS coordinates, so the car will do it for you when you reach the same spot again. With the ability to store 1,000 locations, it sets this car apart from every other on the road. Finally, the car has two storage compartments. A deep well behind the transmission can hold a set of clubs or the Targa roof. A smaller cargo box under the hood is perfect for soft bags. A 5-piece luggage set is an option for every C8 Corvette Stingray for sale, and it is the first Corvette to offer this.
