This summer right here at O'Rielly Chevy of Tucson
and across the entire nation, many intense ripples of excitement were felt as
the release of the long-awaited C8 finally took place. Since the day of the
unveiling, the many press and internet sources for everything auto-related have
been eagerly covering every aspect of the new Stingray's
performance and prowess. The Car and Driver staff was fascinated
with a press release that originated from Chevy over the past month and claimed
that while the C8 Corvette starts at under $60,000, the top speed is an
astounding 194 mph.
Even though it seems strange off the bat, that top
speed only applies to the entry-level 2020 Corvette.
Models that are equipped with Chevy's optional Z51 performance package have a
lower top speed, because the aerodynamic components included provide more
downforce. Even if the Z51 kit does not boost the bottom line in the speed
department, it is still going to stop shorter, grip harder, and be able to
change direction more readily, and also brandishes additional engine and
systems cooling for standing up to the intense wear and tear of the track.
The Z51 C8 Corvette is also the version that nails
down the 3.0-second zero to sixty mph time, and all of a sudden, Car and
Driver changes their stance for an instant during the article, claiming that since there really is no autobahn
in the United States, top speed is not as important a metric as others. We have
to admit we admire their sense of deduction: it is correct that the perks of
the Z51 package need the buyer to closely pay attention and not just think of
nailing down the best top speed stats out there.
The all-new mid-engine sports car is so much more
than Next Generation: it has been completely redesigned from the ground up to
deliver the optimum in thrills on every single drive. Only one single part has
been carried over from the last generation, and the amazing all-new LT2 V8
engine is clearly visible through a rear hatch window. The Available Engine
Appearance Package adds ultra-cool fiber components as well as LED lights to
illuminate the engine, and stepping up to the 2LT trim adds available GT2 seats
in Napa leather.
You can very intensely hone in and tailor your
look with a choice of wheels wrapped in standard all-season tires. These very
light 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels make for a greatly improved ride
and reduced noise, and there are two available designs. When people sit in the
new C8 for the first time, they lament that each button is exactly where it
needs to be for sensible use, and with three seat combinations to choose from,
there's definitely going to be one to be ideal for you!
