Vehicle Description
The C8 Corvette is finally here, in all of its mid-engine glory,
and it's unquestionably the best 'Vette ever. But if you're going
to the dealer to get yours, you've likely already seen the mark-ups
and dealer add-ons that push the price into the stratosphere, not
to mention the waiting list for all the coolest colors and top
options. Instead, here's a showroom-clean 2020 Corvette Stingray
3LT Z51 that loaded to the brim and only has 1,033 miles on the
clock, all at a price that's in line with the limited competition
on the market. Your move.
Regardless of generation, any Stingray looks amazing from all
angle, and no matter what Corvette you prefer, you have to admit
that this C8 is a total slam-dunk in the looks department. It's
still got plenty of Corvette DNA but the detailing and trim
overhangs give it a brute horsepower look that is very much in tune
with the times. The engine's repositioning required a stronger
focus on stark aerodynamics and cooling, and the resulting front
fascia, side scoops with air intakes, and rear vents out back below
the taillights all work to that end. The Z51 package punches up the
Corvette's styling even further with the addition of Carbon Flash
exterior accents and badges, LED lamps throughout, and power heated
mirrors with integrated turn indicators at the sides, giving the
car an even more aggressive look, if that's possible. Of course, as
a nearly-new car, it is in showroom-fresh condition with great
Rapid Blue paint, perfect factory gaps, and nary a mark on the
finish. In fact, the highest praise we can pay any car is that it
looks like it just rolled out of the showroom, and in this
Corvette's case, that's completely true! You won't be able to get
the full effect of this car from the photos, but spend some time
looking it over and you'll really dig all the little details, from
the cool Stingray and Corvette badges throughout, to the unique
spoiler out back, to the oversized exhaust tips at the flanks of
the rear diffuser, and you get the impression that there's nothing
on this car that doesn't serve a purpose. My goodness this Corvette
is a piece of art.
The ultra-luxurious Natural and Black leather and suede interior is
where the Corvette really shines, offering the upgrades that
Corvette fans have been begging for for years. And like the rest of
the car, it's brand new, without so much as a crease in the
driver's seat cushion, and the look is further punctuated with
carbon accent pieces found throughout. The body-hugging
multi-directional power buckets are comfortable for all-day drives
as well as track sessions, and like any modern supercar, the 'Vette
comes with neatly placed openings in the seat back for a harness
(not that you'd ever need such a thing, right?). As this is a 3LT
car, it's loaded with every option in the book, including the usual
power everything, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a
powerful Chevrolet Infotainment system, as well as optional heated
and ventilated seats, 4G/LTE connectivity, and paddle-shifters on
the sporty leather-wrapped steering wheel that looks like it came
out of a Ferrari. In fact, if not for the badges, you'd likely name
every Italian exotic worth its salt before you got to Corvette when
describing this high-end cabin. Overhead there's a color-matched
removable roof panel and because this Corvette is mid-engined, you
get some storage both fore and aft, so a longer trip is not out of
the question.
The engine in the middle I keep mentioning (sorry, I just can't get
over it) is a roaring 6.2 liter LT2 V8 making a stunning 495
horsepower, and it's all backed by a full factory warranty, so go
out and have some fun. The all-new, all-aluminum LS small block has
grown by leaps and bounds since its introduction 20 years ago, with
this one making the kind of power we could only dream of back then.
Chevy claims 0-60 MPH in a miniscule 2.9 seconds for the Z51 model,
although when Car and Driver tested the car themselves, they hit
0-60 MPH in just 2.8 seconds. That's a faster acceleration time
than that of the C7 ZR1 from the year before, so we can probably
say goodbye to a rear-engine Corvette forever. The engine bay is
as-new, with no modifications other than optional carbon fiber
dress-up, so it can be docile enough for your mom to drive it but
get it onto the track and it comes to life in a way you've never
experienced before. The 8-speed automatic transmission may seem
like a performance handicap, but the paddle shifters and
lightning-quick reflexes actually make it quicker off the line and
all you have to do is stomp and steer. The Z51 performance
suspension is agile and you can forget about Corvettes riding like
trucks, because this one is comfortable and supple. Giant Z51-spec
disc brakes with black calipers, magnetic ride control, and all
kinds of other safety features keep you from getting in over your
head and it rides on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear blacked-out
alloys and grippy run-flat Michelin radials.
Fully documented with all of its original manuals and original
window sticker, this is the top-of-the-line 'Vette you can own
today, without the wait and without the huge dealer mark-up. Call
now!
