Here is the 2014 Corvette Stingray ordering guide.

What does the A1 mean for the 2.56 rear axle ratio? I know the A means available. So what is standard if 2.56 is available?
I had the 2.56 on my 2007 Corvette and it renders 6th gear very nonresponsive. I put in a 3.15 in my 08 Z51 that had the 2.73 and 6th was so much better. Pulled very good and only lost 1-1/2 mpg. |

What is the 1 at the upper corner of the A?
If 2.56 is all that's available the I won't be buying a C7 unless I can work a deal with the dealer to swap out for a 3.15 and still retain the 5 year warranty. 2.56 is the worse gear! I could not stand it in my 2007 Corvette. 2.73 being not much better in the Z51 and I do not want the 19/20" tires nor the larger rotors that come standard with the Z51. |

it's interesting how much better the fuel economy on the m7 is than the a6 if they're limiting the rear to a 2.56 on the autos. |

If you stay with a manual Stingray Coupe (whether 1YY07 or 1YX07), they all come with the standard 3.42 ltd slip rear axle. So far the order guide only lists these three rear ratios... I recommend to wait until you can test drive an Automatic Stingray, both with and w/o the Z51, before deciding to opt out from buying a C7. Yes it is. Personally, I'd want a manual tranny C7 anyway... Last edited by Stingray; 04-16-2013 at 02:45 PM. Reason: fixed typo |

My 08 Z51 came with a 2.73 as noted above. There really is a need for a 3.15 based on my own driving experience. After driving the lower geared car you just don't want a 2.56 or 2.73 gear car. And no manual tranny for me. An automatic with a loose converter will beat a manual every time and also much more consistent for ET racing. Don't want to be holding down a heavy clutch in this Houston traffic either! |
