Chevy’s Corvette C7 Drawing Closer!



Earlier on in the year, when the new 2014 Chevy Corvette C7 was unveiled, sports car lovers were anticipated to see the new designs made to the famous Corvette. Although, in the past, the complaints and compliments of the Chevy Corvette have been repetitive, the Corvette teams is confident in saying that the new Corvette Stingray is going to resolve all the dislikes and give people something new to talk about when the Corvette comes up. 







The frame for ALL models, not just the higher performing ones, is aluminum tailored to stiffness and strength. The stiffness reduces the weight of the vehicle by 99 pounds. The aluminum spreads to the suspension system, improving the turning radius. The power steering has not only improved to increase the stiffness of the car, but it is all electronically powered. This gives a variable resistance to every possible circumstance the car or driver may be under. Another improvement to increase handling is the carbon fiber roof. So basically, this car is lighter and easier to control with the aluminum and carbon fiber. 







There are both automatic and manual transmissions available for the Stingray; a seven-speed for the manual and a six-speed for the automatic. For the manual, you can either do the shifting in between gears with the “paddle” OR a computer can do it for you! It is insane how advanced technology is no a days. The computer within the C7 will monitor every time the shifter is moved and predict when you would like to shift gears; then the computer will “prep” the engine to match your needs! 
Resurrecting the LT1 moniker, the updated engine displaces 6.2 liters and pumps out at least 450 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. Helping to produce the extra grunt is direct fuel injection, continuously variable valve timing, and completely redesigned combustion chambers. On the other side of the spectrum, cylinder deactivation allows it to run in four-cylinder mode, a proven technology with the automatic and a first for a manual transmission car. Believe it or not, these improvements were made to improve the fuel economy. A suggested addition, the twin-turbo V6, was rejected by Chevy because it failed to improve the fuel economy!



New headlight elements are more complex and narrower. The double-bubble roof returns, although the space between the bumps is wider, and the panel appears to be slightly flatter. The exhaust pipes on the back of the vehicle are not spread apart like the C6; they are bunched up and closer to one another in one central row.




This sleeker, Stingray-looking car is stunning all race car lovers and it hasn’t even come to the US to be sold yet! The amazing technological advancements made to the car cannot be anticipated enough. The Chevy team who put the 2014 Corvette together says it is designed to be quickest, most powerful and most capable Corvette ever put together. The new Stingray is to come to the US to sell sometime this fall! Not soon enough, but the Chevy team make it sound worth the wait. Keep in touch for more updates to be posted at a later date.
