2014 Stingray

The sucks.

Am I the only one that feels it's gaudy, garish and ugly? Throw in underpowered and you've got one horrible addition to the Corvette lineup.

Sorry Revo, cant have your back on this one man lol

I like the Stingray, just hope they dont do the base version Corvette they might be doing.
I think youll really like the ZO version version it comes out, since it will hopefully look wider and meaner

Have you seen it in person? I looks better than the pics do it justice. As for power... I would bet you will see higher final numbers. If you remember that was an estimated 450. I be you will see as high as 480 for final number... but I could be wrong.

Oh man, guess I was wrong. It must be a flawless masterpiece of design and performance, I just didn't see until now.




Disagree. Looks like the world's worst mashup of every other new go-fast vehicle on the market (Camaro included) and 450hp is plain inadequate for Chevy's sportscar segment. My L99 makes as much or more at the crank with just boltons.

You are aware that the base corvette now currently makes 430, right?

If you're referring to the back yard on that blonde, then yes.

Exactly my point. A 20hp increase?

Plus torque curve improvements. And 450 isn't even a final number yet.
