Vehicle Description
This 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged Sting Ray is one heck of
a car. 813 supercharged horsepower to the rear wheels thanks to a
professionally built 6.2L long block with lots of expertly
engineered goodies, a fantastic color combination, all the options
you could ask for, and wow, look at that those incredibly low
miles! It's as clean as it was when it left the factory, but it
sure has a lot more pop today. Take a closer look at this American
exotic, it's a beauty with a beast underneath.
Draped in attention getting Watkins Glen Gray Metallic paint, this
is one exceedingly sharp Corvette - and the C7 model has certainly
set the bar of expectations very high in that regard. The entire
exterior still looks great - the paint has a special appearance
that defies its factory-issue status and carries no glaring flaws
to detract from its visual impact. In fact, we think the car may
have been wrapped before it came to us, which means this paint has
potentially never seen the elements, hence how nice it is. Being a
relatively new car that's received consistent sheltering, the
lenses protecting its angular headlights are still crystal clear
and the assortment of badging this '17 wears is in razor sharp
condition. The looks of both the signature Corvette logo looming
over the contrasting splitter in front and the positioning of the
close-set quartet of chrome exhaust tips in back are stellar. The
carbon fiber hood looks very aggressive and sheds weight, and the
carbon fiber removable top this Sting Ray features is a definite
benefit, allowing you the exhilaration of driving with just the
blue sky above you, but with the ease of transitioning to a more
sheltered environment also an easy proposition. Even lovers of the
European exotics had to pay respect to the C7, and with the
upgraded drivetrain on this monster, they'll be doing so in your
rear view.
Climb inside and you'll see that the 1LT-optioned Jet Black
interior has been extremely well taken care of as well, with that
"new car" smell and feel still present. There's very little to no
perceptible wear on the surfaces of the leather bucket seats and
all the surrounding components still seem as clean as they did when
this Chevy rolled off the showroom lot. This is an outstanding
driving environment - both in terms of aesthetics and functionality
- and it's surprisingly spacious for a model whose main calling
card is its flat-out performance. The assortment of factory
displays behind the steering wheel illuminate the cabin in blue and
are accompanied by a sizable color touchscreen just to the right
that controls both the AM/FM stereo with its iPod and Bluetooth
connectivity, as well as a navigation system and back-up camera -
always a welcome feature for frequent excursions. The air
conditioning blows cold and strong and offers dual zone climate
control to keep you and your passengers in comfort, everything is
power, and the safety of ABS brakes and multiple airbags provides a
lot of comfort of the mind when you're hammering down the
throttle.
The capabilities of the professionally built supercharged 6.2 liter
V8 that propels this 'Vette certainly makes for exciting driving.
Purpose built by the experts at AMP Performance, it features a
Paxton Novi Supercharger kit by East Coast Superchargers with
methanol injection, a full-forged rotating assembly with Callie's
CompStar rods and custom Wiseco pistons, and CNC ported LT1 heads
with stainless valves and platinum springs with titanium retainers,
all of which are inside this blueprinted, balanced, and perfectly
tuned motor. It churns out a full 813 horses at the rear wheels,
accompanied by 677 lb-ft of torque to knock you back in your seat,
and pairs with an 8 speed automatic transmission geared to take
full advantage of its output while also making stop and go traffic
more tolerable. The rumble from the exhaust is fantastic, with
long-tube headers feeding a multi-mode custom dual exhaust system
that goes from loud to very loud. When the spirit moves you to take
more control of the power at your disposal, paddle shifters mounted
on the steering column provide a "hands on" experience. Traction
and electronic stability control and magnetic ride suspension team
with a road hugging stance and smooth power steering to provide
world class handling, while 4-wheel power disc brakes with
supersized rotors that come via this Corvette's big-dog status
bring the set of 18-inch 5-spoke painted aluminum wheels to
lightning quick stops when called upon.
An outstanding blend of modern engineering and timeless aesthetics,
this 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged Sting Ray presents a very
compelling opportunity. Documented with its original window
sticker, build receipts, owner's manual, and a Dyno sheet, this is
the one to own. Call today!
