Chevrolet Corvette

The latest model is the 2017 Chevy Corvette that rips the road with its 6.2L V8 engine, boasting 455 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. The Corvette zooms from 0-60 mph in just 4 seconds, but you can boost that figure to a speedy 3.8 seconds with the Z51 Performance Package. It delivers 16 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway, or up to 29 mph on the highway with 8-speed paddle-shifter transmission and Z51 Performance Package. Models are included with 18-inch aluminum wheels in the front and 19-inch aluminum wheels in the back. You have the choice to upgrade wheels with a black paint or a chrome finish.

When you are ready to head to the track, we recommend adding the Performance Data Recorder. It captures your time and video footage while you cruise on the track, so you have all the data you need to improve your driving skills. Other optional tech in the Corvette includes 4G LTE Wi-Fi that connects up to seven devices and delivers an impeccable internet connection for all. The Chevy MyLink infotainment system is displayed on an 8-inch screen with apps that stream music, connect to your phone, and more. Also attached to Chevy MyLink are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which pair with any compatible smartphone.

The 2017 Chevy Corvette has been tested and reviewed by top experts in the industry. Here is what they think of the latest Corvette:

Edmunds.com: “It’s hard to beat the Corvette’s power and handling for the price; comfort doesn’t take a backseat to performance; cargo space is surprisingly generous for a sports car; interior design and materials are no longer subpar.”

Kelley Blue Book: “If you want an American performance icon with premium style and amenities, it doesn’t get much better than the Corvette. In addition to far greater refinement, this latest-generation Vette is among the best-handling to date.”

Car Connection: “Under the hood of the Chevy Corvette Stingray is the latest performance small-block, a 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 generating 455 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, or 5 hp more in performance trim. The Grand Sport adopts that powertrain, while the Z06 ups the ante with a supercharged LT4 V-8 displacing 6.2 liters that’s rated at 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.”

The next Corvette is a 2018 Chevy Corvette, but the official details are not yet confirmed by the automaker. The Corvette ZR1 has been the subject of major speculation, because it is rumored to come with a 700-hp supercharged small block engine. We don’t find the increase in horsepower to be surprising, as Corvette is well known for pushing the envelope in speed and power. Keep up with us at Biggers Chevy for more information!
