We knew we'd be getting one of the first 2015 Corvette Stingrays in the region. We knew it would be fairly impressive. We prepared, studied up on the modern updates to the classic muscle. When we got notice from
Chevrolet that our 2015 Corvette Stingrays had shipped, we cleared the show room in anticipation.
We thought we were ready.
But friends, there's no way we could have prepared for the immaculate beauty and power of even one 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51. No disrespect to the classic dream car of the 1960's - this is a whole new generation of vehicle. And with this kind of advanced, almost Bourne-esque technology, with the body style that reminds us of the supercars you could only fantasize about, and the power that melts the hearts of millions - this ain't your grandpa's muscle car. I mean just LOOK at it!
Oh excuse me, am I drooling??
The 2015 Corvette comes in a multitude of options. Of course you have the coupe, as well as the convertible for those who want to feel the impact of almost 460 horsepower on their face. From there, it extends to the 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, and those trims also come with the option of the Z51Â Performance Package.
Both Corvettes in our showroom are 2015 Corvette Stingray 3LTs with a Z51 Performance Package.
With varying color seat options, each Stingray is equipped with 8-way power leather seats, keyless access with push-button start, power tilt and telescoping steering column, two 8-inch HD color displays, and the 9-speaker Bose audio system with a minimum 3-month trial subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
An upgrade from 1LT to 2LT or 3LT will give you heated seats, lumbar support, seat emblems, Bose' premium audio system, memory seats, and extended trial period of XM radio, and so much more.
The 3LT Z51 sports a custom Napa leather wrapped interior, with Corvette emblems in the seats. This particular vehicle was chosen with Grand Touring seats, but Performance Sports Seats are also available.
Optional in all other trims, the Z51 3LT's steering wheel is wrapped in leather.
Heated and ventilated seats, navigation, and HD screens in driver display as well as the digital information system take the 3LT a step above.
The new 2015 Stingray offers a performance data and video recorder to keep memories - or spy on the valet.
The gray Corvette (custom-built by a customer) is a 7-speed manual. The Velocity Yellow (currently looking for a home) Corvette is an 8-speed Paddle Shift Automatic Transmission. Both have Performance Gear Ratios.
Active Fuel Management deactivates four of the eight cyclinders when you don't need that extra punch of power to improve fuel economy to an average of 29 mph highway.
The direct injection acts as a key performance technology facet, delivering fuel to achieve maximum thermal and combustion efficiency, and increasing torque, power, and fuel efficiency. Without, of course, compromising it's 0-60 in 3.8 seconds capacity, nor it's roaring 460 horsepower.
Air flow is a high priority in the Stingray this year, even in the Brembo brakes. Air flows through the front grill to the wheel wells to assist in cooling the brakes and enhancing performance and longevity.
Exclusive to the Corvette Stingray brand, Michelin Pilot Super Sport Zero Pressure tires optimize ride, grip, and handling.
Our Velocity Yellow Z51 also sports color-matched calipers.
Electronic Limited-Slip Differential promotes improved stability and responsiveness.
A hood air extractor allows flow of air through the front grill and over the radiator for optimal air flow, reducing front-end lift, increasing downforce, and improving handling at high speeds.
LED lamps cast light into a reverse reflector to illuminate evenly and clearly on the taillamps. A third brake light sits on the rear spoiler for prime effective warning.
Technology masters both high and low beams with Bi-Xenon HID lamps on the head lights.
The 2015 Stingray is 100 pounds lighter than its predecessor.
Magnetic Ride Control is a real-time damping system that "reads" the road every millisecond and re-adjusts in under 15 milliseconds, making it the fastest acting suspension in the world.
The Z51 coupe is sold in the "Pacific" style - with aggressive racing build.
The "Pacific" coupe design includes a distinctively sharp rear spoiler.
Multiple driver modes lets you slip from the safety of "weather" to the ferocious power of "track" with the turn of a wheel.

We may have already given one of these beauties a caring home, but the other is patiently awaiting for someone who truly loves to drive to take her home. Visit or call
