My 2017 Stingray with a manual gets 17 city / 39 fwy. awesome for 460 hp and 465 lbs torque and 3.8 seconds 0-60mph. A freebie removable roof and the upgraded NPP exhaust to hear that V8 roar. I ride on lighter nonrunflat Michelin Pilot 4S for more responsiveness (accelerating, agility, braking, +10 wheel hp/torque) and wider rear 295 instead of stock 285.

I always see the armrest worn out on the used ones. They are great for the price.
