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. You can also look online and see what other sources are reporting about this revolutionary Corvette
