5 Standout Features of the 2025 Chevy Corvette Stingray

Powerful V8 Engine

The Corvette Stingray houses a mighty 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 that kicks out 490 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. Numerous race-bred technologies improve the engine’s performance and allow drivers to push harder on the track. For instance, a dry-sump scavenge system prevents oil starvation and ensures consistent power delivery during high G-force maneuvers.

Adding the Z51 Performance Package, which features a performance exhaust, improves the engine’s power output to 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This enables the Corvette Stingray to hit 60 mph in only 2.9 seconds, fly past the quarter-mile mark in 11.2 seconds, and reach a blistering top speed of 194 mph.

8-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission

Combining the efficiency of an automatic and the sportiness of a manual, the Stingray’s 8-speed dual-clutch transmission provides white-knuckle shifts that happen in just one hundred milliseconds. The transmission also features a double paddle declutch function that allows drivers to disengage the clutch by simply holding both paddles.

Near-Perfect Weight Distribution

Drivers enjoy surgically precise handling thanks to the Stingray’s near-perfect weight distribution. To make this possible, the Stingray seats its mighty V8 behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. This mid-engine design adds near-equal amounts of weight over all four wheels, providing uniform traction and making steering more predictable.

Magnetic Selective Ride Control

The Stingray offers available Magnetic Selective Ride Control to give drivers more control and to improve the sports car’s cornering prowess. The technology combines a damping system that adapts to driving conditions in only 10 milliseconds and a magnetorheological fluid that becomes rigid to reduce body roll when turning sharply.

Sporty and Comfortable Interior

At entry level, the driver and passenger sink into GT1 bucket seats, which provide excellent support under high G-forces. 8-way power adjustment enables occupants to find the perfect position for their high-speed adventures, while available heating and ventilation functions keep them comfortable throughout the seasons. A heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel offers a reliable grip, boosting the driver’s confidence, and the wheel’s flat top design ensures that the road and instrument cluster are visible at all times.

A powerful V8, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, and GT seats are just some of the Corvette Stingray’s standout features. Visit us at Paradise Chevrolet in Temecula, CA to see the sports car in person and learn more about its performance and interior.
