Overview
The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 6 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $55,000. For that price, it mainly competes with the Dodge Challenger SRT 392 Coupe and the Ford Mustang GT Coupe. Meanwhile, the Lexus RC F Coupe is also a potential rival with the base highest price tag among the bunch. Furthermore, the rivals offer a seating capacity of 4 or 5 as opposed to 2 given on the Corvette Stingray. Between 6 trims, the Corvette Stingray Coupe offers a single powertrain. It is a 6.2L V8 engine making 455 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 7-speed manual transmission and an 8-speed automatic transmission. If more power is required, the same engine puts out 465 horsepower with a performance exhaust system and 460 horsepower on the Z51 trims. The Corvette Stingray Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in the range of 3.7 to 4.0 seconds. Depending on the powertrain, the Corvette Stingray can manage a combined fuel economy between 20 and 21 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 10 striking colors the Corvette Stingray Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.
