2014 Corvette Stingray

The new 2014 Corvette Stingray. That name hasn't been used in 38 years, and the body is taken from the last Stingray model in 1976. This car is beyond amazing with the new technology and the mean new look that GM Motors gave it. The polygonal taillights and the old body style mixed with the newer style body really make this a masterpiece. Some of the features of this car are a new aluminum engine block, with a 6.2 liter V8 small block Chevy in it cranking out 450 hp and 450 lb-ft torque. It has either a six speed automatic transmission, or a seven speed manual transmission. It goes 0-60 in less than four seconds. These are incredible features, but the best one by far is pretty mind blowing. While cranking out that much power and speed, it still can deliver up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. That's insane! If I had enough money, I would definitely be buying this car. You have everything that you would want in this car. The power, the speed, and still look awesome pulling up anywhere in it. Stingrays gets an aluminum frame that weighs 100 pounds less than the regular frame that's on the 2013 Corvette. The wheelbase is an inch longer and the front and rear tracks are nearly 1 inch wider. This makes the weight distributed evenly across the car. All this helps the Corvette Stingray pull 1.0 g on the track with smaller tires than the current car, and cuts down the turning radius by almost 2 feet. Another new feature of the new Stingray is that newly developed interior. The Corvette is popular because of the interiors by any means, critics and reviews from the past agree with this. But the interior of this Corvette was well thought out, because it accompanies those who use the car for luxury purposes and for those who use it for racing purposes. Something neat is that it has two kinds of seat belts; one for a regular cruise down the road and then another one that's made for racing. These are just some of the many other features that this car has. I am definitely looking forward to seeing these cars preform. The base amount for the Corvette Stingray is estimated to be $52,000.
