With the introduction of the mid-engine C8, the seventh generation
of the Corvette became an instant classic. The C7 is the last of
the traditional front-engine, rear-drive setup for the famous
Bowtie brand, which is one reason this 2016 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT
Z51 makes for a great addition to any enthusiast collection. With
just 60,229 miles on the odometer, its believed original Shark Grey
Metallic looks almost as good as the day it was new. Offset by
black accent trim pieces and matching powder-coated wheels, this
car looks stunning from any angle, with or without its removable
targa top.
Inside, we find a Jet Black stock leather interior that showcases
one of the most comfortable cockpits of any Corvette generation.
Sporty heated and ventilated power leather seats comfortably hold
both driver and passenger, while a digital gauge display situated
in front of the three-spoke steering wheel provides configurable
feedback at a moment's notice. Another central display screen
handles infotainment and doubles as a backup camera display. Analog
HVAC dials for temperature and fan control make it easy to adjust
the climate without taking your eyes off the road. Power windows,
mirrors, locks, a telescoping wheel, dual-zone temperature control,
navigation, and a Bose premium stereo that offers Apple CarPlay and
Bluetooth connectivity make this interior easily livable for daily
driving.
Lift up this Corvette's signature front-hinged louvered hood, and
we find the original 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 engine. In stock guise, the
Gen III LT1 utilizes variable valve technology and direct injection
to deliver a stout 460 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. That seamless
power is funneled through a somewhat rare seven-speed manual
transmission before being sent to a 3.42:1-gear, limited-slip rear
end. A staggered set of ten-spoke black wheels measuring 18 inches
up front and 19 inches out back is shod in sticky 245/40ZR-18 and
wider 285/35ZR-19 Continental rubber, respectively.
