Unleash the Beast - Performance Specs & Features
The C8 Corvette is about pure fun. We've been talking it up since day one, and for good reason! This beast takes everything exciting about an exotic sports car – the speed, the handling, the head-turning looks – and makes it accessible to everyday drivers. You won't find another ride like it for half the price.
Think lightning-fast acceleration that pins you to your seat. Think corners you crave instead of dread. Think track days where you're king (or queen) of the asphalt. But it's not all adrenaline. This Corvette pulls double duty. When you're not tearing up the tarmac, it transforms into a comfy cruiser with a luxurious cabin and more trunk space than you might expect. That's why it keeps winning awards, like the 2024 Car and Driver 10Best or the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. ALG Residual Value Awards!
And the best part? You get your pick of a sleek coupe or a roofless convertible. Even the coupe lets you feel the sunshine with its removable targa top. What more could you ask for? Well, if you're a total thrill-seeker, there's the monster Corvette Z06 but for most folks, the 2024 Corvette is all the supercar you'll ever need. For those seeking an electric supercar, keep your eyes peeled for more info on the upcoming Corvette E-Ray.
So come on down to our CORPUS CHRISTI Chevy dealer and test drive the dream. We promise, the Corvette will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Please note that general availability for the Corvette can be limited, and the special editions, even more so. If you don't see any in-stock contact us using the link below and we can discuss your options.
2024 Corvette Stingray: New Looks and More Safety Gear
Fresh paint jobs: Gone are the days of just plain old black or red. You can now dress your Stingray in three brand new colors: Riptide Blue (think tropical ocean), Cacti Green (like a cool desert vibe), and Sea Wolf Gray (sleek and sophisticated).
Wheel style swap: Show off your personal style with new wheel designs. Pick from sporty spokes, sleek lines, or even a classic five-spoke setup. And get this – you can add racing stripes in five different colors, so your Corvette will be truly one-of-a-kind.
Fancy new interior: Feeling adventurous? Opt for the new Artemis interior. It's like a breath of fresh air with its light green seats and trim. And speaking of fresh air, all Corvettes now come with a fancy electronic rear-view mirror. Think of it like a tiny TV screen that shows you what's behind you using a camera, so you never have to crane your neck again.
Engine bling: Even the engine bay gets a makeover! You can add special packages that dress it up with cool covers and accents. It's like showing off the heart of your beast with a bit of extra polish.
Easy peasy closing: Remember how annoying it was to close the trunk on older Corvettes? Not anymore! The 2024 Stingray has a fancy button that does it for you, so you can spend less time struggling and more time admiring that glorious V8 engine.
Safety first: Chevy's taking care of you too. Every 2024 Stingray comes loaded with safety features like automatic emergency brakes, pedestrian and bike detection (so you don't accidentally run anyone over!), fancy headlights that adjust automatically, and a lane-keeping system that helps you stay in your lane even if you're feeling a bit sleepy.
Compared to the older Corvettes, the 2024 Stingray is like a total upgrade. It's got more colors, more style options, a fancy interior, and even an easier way to close the trunk. And on top of that, it's got all the latest safety tech to keep you and everyone around you safe. It's like the classic Corvette you know and love, but with a whole lot of extra awesomeness thrown in.
All Muscle, No Manual
Want even more muscle? Get the Z51 package. It gives you sharper handling, grippier tires, and brakes that stop faster than a cheetah on roller skates. Plus, it bumps the horsepower up to 495, making it even quicker – think quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds!
But guess what? No stick shift this time. The 2024 Stingray only comes with an automatic transmission, controlled by either buttons on the console or paddles on the steering wheel. Think of it like a super-fast robot doing the gear changes for you.
This new Corvette isn't just about speed, though. It's fuel-efficient too! It gets an average of 19 miles per gallon (combined city and highway), with highway performance being in the range of 25 - 26 mpg. That's not bad for a car that can turn corners like a race car.
Comfort and Capability: Inside the 2024 Corvette
Want to feel the wind in your hair? Just pop off the removable roof (one person job!) and stow it in the rear trunk, like a classic Corvette trick with a modern twist. Sunshine and speed never looked so good.
For the driver, it's paradise behind a squared-off steering wheel. Feast your eyes on a massive 12-inch digital gauge display, like a sci-fi movie come to life. Everything you need – speed, revs, the whole shebang – right there at your fingertips. And for controlling tunes and maps, a big touchscreen conveniently angles towards you.
Think you like buttons? This cockpit's a control freak's dream. A wall-like separator between driver and passenger houses a climate control command center, letting you dial in the perfect in-car temperature. Feeling chilly? Crank up the heat. Sun too hot? Blast the AC. It's all yours to command.
Want to push the luxury even further? The 3LT package is your tuxedo for the Corvette. Fancy stitched leather everywhere, sleek carbon-fiber trim – you'll be cruising in style for sure.
Packing for a weekend getaway? The Corvette's got you covered. Two trunks, one in front and one behind the engine, giving you a total of 13 cubic feet of space. Chevy even says you can fit two sets of golf clubs back there, stacked like pros. We tested it – yep, they were right! And bonus points for the three suitcase trick: one in the front trunk, two in the back. Packing ain't so bad after all.

Special Editions
The Z06: The Corvette Supercar
While sharing a lineage with the already impressive Corvette Stingray, the Z06 emerges as a distinct breed. Its stance is widened by 3.5 inches, its optional carbon-fiber wheels grip the asphalt with Michelin's most tenacious race rubber, and its sculpted bodywork hints at the ferocious capabilities within. This is a machine that blurs the lines between street car and track weapon, inviting drivers to explore the outermost limits of performance.
With a price tag closer to a Porsche Cayman GT4, the Z06 delivers performance that rivals European exotics like the Ferrari 296GTB. Yet it retains a distinctly American swagger, unapologetic in its pursuit of raw power and visceral thrills. The Z06 doesn't whisper; it roars, announcing its presence with every thunderous shift and blistering acceleration.
Behind the wheel of the Z06, one doesn't simply drive; they become a force of nature. It's a machine that responds to every input with razor-sharp precision, carving corners with balletic grace and catapulting out of them with unrelenting fury. The Z06 is a testament to the relentless pursuit of automotive excellence, a testament to those who dare to push boundaries and rewrite the rules of performance.
