Raw muscle, an aerodynamic design, and outstanding maneuverability is the deadly combination that makes the 2025 Corvette Stingray a menace on the racetrack. This V8-powered icon is among the most reasonably priced supercar slayers on the market.
Naturally Aspirated V8
The heart of the Corvette Stingray is a 6.2L V8 DI engine that churns out 490 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated V8 comes with a dry sump oil system, variable valve timing, active fuel management, and numerous other technologies that improve performance and efficiency. When paired with the available Performance exhaust, the engine’s output increases to 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.
Dual Clutch Transmission
An 8-speed dual clutch transmission manages engine power. It delivers both the control of a manual transmission and the smoothness of an automatic, providing drivers maximum engagement without interrupting traction. A special double-paddle declutch function makes disengaging the clutch easier and reduces the amount of footwork required to operate the vehicle.
Aerodynamic Design
Although the Stingray looks exotic, its design isn’t solely for aesthetic purposes. The sports car’s low profile and chiseled body help it pierce through drag and reach vision-blurring speeds. The bumper-mounted grille and massive side air intakes help control airflow and cool the V8 engine. Additionally, the 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels give the vehicle an aggressive rake stance, further enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.
Supercar-Slaying Performance
Putting the pedal to the metal rockets the sports car to 60 mph in only 2.9 seconds. This places the Stingray on par with some of Europe’s finest supercars, including the much pricier Lamborghini Huracán EVO. On the racetrack, the Stingray flies past the quarter-mile mark in 11.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 194 mph.
Outstanding Maneuverability
The Stingray is equally capable in a closed circuit as it is on the drag strip, thanks to its perfect weight distribution. This is achieved through a skillfully engineered chassis and a mid-engine layout. The available Z51 performance suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control further improves the Stingray’s performance by providing precise adaptive damping and reduced body roll.
Performance Data Recorder
You can capture footage of your racing activities using the available performance data and video recorder. This system uses a 1080p camera module to record both audio and video, which can later be replayed on the vehicle’s center display. Depending on the active drive mode, the performance data and video recorder will also record speed, steering angle, g-force, and lap times.
Nothing compares to the magical feel of 495 horsepower, an engaging dual-clutch transmission, and perfect handling. Experience it for yourself by getting behind the wheel of a Corvette Stingray at Jim Butler Chevrolet in Fenton, MO today.
