Is the 2019 C7 Corvette Stingray the LAST front engine Corvette?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Come take a ride and check out this 2019 Corvette Stingray, it could be the last. With the new C8 mid engine Corvette on the horizon, is Chevrolet going to stop producing a front engine Corvette? Is the C7 Corvette still good enough? Find out for yourself!

    I have owned a 1977 Corvette Coupe (sadly it was an automatic) and multiple C5s including 2 Coupes with Z51 and the Z06, all 2004s and all manuals. I finally got to rent the C7 back in 2016 I believe. At first I felt guilty spending so much to rent a car. However, after I pressed the engine start button and drove down the road a bit all the guilt melted away. I was BLOWN away by both the performance and the interior which nearly rivaled Porsche 911 in terms of quality. Funny enough I rented it in Florida (Orlando to be exact) and had a tough time finding curvy roads. I bet you can relate given you live in Florida. Once I did find some though, the thing cornered LIKE IT WAS ON RAILS! I can't even imagine how tight the cornering on the Z51 models must be. Great review as always Joe and keep up the good work. You need to own another Corvette as the ownership experience is really unlike any other.

    excellent review of this C-7 sting ray, Joe. I would be completely satisfied with that model after watching it perform. I guess I'm getting old, because I don't need all those ponies in the ZR1 or Z06, or even the grand sport. This sting ray is awesome. As to whether its the last front engine model, who knows. they might continue offering both, or, if sales fall flat on the mid-engine model, they might go back to the front engine car. I can imagine what they would say if they did. "WE'RE BAAAAACK!" Great job, as always, keep em' comin'.

    Great review as usual, Joe! 1973 looked weird with the front urethane bumper and the rear chrome one. The chrome strip on the grille of the C7 looks like an aftermarket add-on, I would remove it or change the grill. I like the dash, I rented a convertible in Hawaii three years ago, and that made me want a convertible muscle car, that why I bought the Mustang.

    Great review Joe ! This is my retirement car, but it will be at least a 2016 Stingray 2LT 7 speed manual! Non ZR1, with hopefully Magnetic ride control.. First choice color will be Artic White, 2nd: Longbeach metallic Red, 3rd: Silver, 4th: Laguna Blue. Preferably 1 owner and with under 50k miles. It will be in about 4 years when I’m ready to buy... so I have plenty of time to drool over videos like this one ! Love the test ride especially with the camera mounted in the middle... Felt like i was driving this C7 !! Awesome 👏! Are you sure that was a 3LT ? They typically come with a larger rear deck wing... TBH,, i love this standard small wing which comes with the 1LT, it accentuates the rear fender lines that lead to it

    Some points to note The calipers can be optioned in yellow, or red in any model. The Z51 package removes that front licence plate. It also adds the spoiler. As well as a bunch of cooling, drysump oil system. The base model corvette (as shown here) has optioned Z51 wheels. Base wheels are 18" in the front and 19" in the rear. All corvettes have carbon fiber hoods and roofs. The NPP exhaust in this vehicle adds the extra HP. Unlike in the SS Camaro where the transmission choice determines the final HP. Any stingray with the NPP exhaust regardless of the trans has the same HP. The stingray emblem inside the vehicle is customizable from the factory you can put whatever you want on it. You can set the drive mode (eco, tour, sport, track) to change the on screen driver display. Each mode has a different display. (Tour and eco share the same hud)

    When it's time to replace tires on my C7 Stingray, I'm gonna get non runflat to lighten up 5lbs of unsprung weight at each wheel, which is 3-4 times the equivalent of sprung weight. Also, I'll be widening the rear tires from 285 to 295 (.5 inch wider) for more grip because this engine is so powerful with 300lbs torque right off at 1000rpm that it breaks traction easily when you step on it.

    I like the chrome pieces. I think it looks more expensive and breaks up the various parts of the car and makes a great ascent material. I think some real, physical 3D gauges would add to the experience. Something other than the flat face gauges. No digital cluster, please. Front engine, rear drive is a very good layout. I'm not sure why the dramatic push for mid-engine configuration. I don't think it would be as pleasant to drive on an everyday basis. I've only been in a C7 once, but I felt it was very good overall and certainly a very good car at speed cruising. The only thing, at least to me, is the very high price difference from base to equipped. You can almost get another car plus a base Corvette for the options price.
