- www.autobytel.com/chevrolet/co... The C7 Corvette Stingray is a new version of an American classic and an icon as well. The all-new 2014 model tells the rest of the World that American sports cars mean business. The 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray can compete with the best from Germany and Italy at a fraction of the price. The base model Stingray Convertible starts at $56,000 and has the performance to hang with the super exotics of the world. The Z51 Convertible tested here has an MSRP of $58,800.
The Chevrolet Corvette is an American Icon that has withstood the evolution of the automobile industry for decades. The 7th generation Corvette Stingray represents a dramatic departure from the rounded design language of Corvette from the past. There is a lot that is upgraded and updated for the 21st century but at the core, the Corvette Stingray Convertible is still instantly recognizable. Up front is a wide mouth aggressive fascia with an integrated chin spoiler. There is a unique vent in the hood to let in cold air and the LED headlights are in line with the exotic cars of the world. This Z51 model has dark blacked out rims that are wrapped in barely street legal Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Out back is one of the most dramatic changes with the squared-off taillights which are no longer rounded.
Under the hood of the 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray Convertible is an LT4 6.2 liter V-8 engine that makes 455 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 MPH flies by in 3.8 seconds and fuel economy is 17 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. The convertible top can be operated up to speeds at 30 MPH. The great thing about the convertible system is the hard tonneau cover that hides the folded top.

Who else loves the new back lights to the corvette
The Coverette is classic Americana power, prestige, and elegance. The capabilities and affordability compared to its European speaks volumes. I may not ever be able to afford such a car but I always enjoy seeing them cruising down any street or boulevard. Here's to GM, its rock star designers and the good men and women that put these wonderful works of art and performance together for the world to see and enjoy! Cheers.
I usually hate soft top verts, but this is one convertible i would not mind buying. Great review!
i do really like the color white on this car! it looks amazing !
great looking car, outstanding performance. this is a must have car.
2 more yrs am saving for one ☝🏻
for under 60,000 you get from this 0-60 in 3 sec plus ! it's a bargain for the bang! i will buy one when this car start selling in my country. probably sometime next year i hope. really looking forward
My 3rd vette I have the convertible and it is absolutely the finest car I have ever owned. It is crazy fast and intimidates everything on the road
LT1, not LT4. The LT4 is in the new ZO6
Correct, that was my mistake.
Jeff Glucker You had me happy for a few minutes when you said that...
Finally something that worth to buy
Need this car so much!
Gotta get this one.
Dam, theyve already made the convertible, where as in the camaro, it took 1-2 yrs to make the convert...
Its a great year to be an American!
great video
Great review as usual and from this Yank in the UK I totally got that oyster joke!... Merica!!
I need this in my life
They did a great job with that car!!
Corvette is a much better car than a 911..obviously better looking style...n performance...
Awesome
where in North County San Diego was this filmed?
Like those nike sb. Oh cool vid. ..
ha, yeah I like those sneakers too... need a new pair, these ones are getting old though
I'd conjecture that the 0-60 time is not so much about horsepower as it is about gearing, grip, and torque linearity.
Lt1, the new zo6 is an lt4.
I have until the end of 2015 to save money.
Lez Do Diz.
DinoPon3! Did u get it? It’s almost 2019
Geezus, that is a Land Rocket. Incredible price, not that I can afford it, though!
ME WANT ;)
The Best car ever!
man i hope they make a zr1 vette
Are in manual transmission still have a paddleshift ?
Whoa 50,000 thats less then a camaro zl1 with no upgrades
Shit which is best c7 or c8? 🤔🤔
Lt1 not lt4
Does general motors still use the same cheap plastic parts you can find in a cobalt? How about recalls? How many so far? Porsches are driven by men who appreciate a fine handling sportscars. Corvettes are driven by dorks without girlfriends who drive to their Star Trek conventions.
Porsches are driven by dentist that haven't a clue how to drive them. Porsches are glorified overpriced VW's. How many recalls have Porsche had on their 991 GT3? Oh yeah, every single one of them.....they catch fire.
alms21 lol thats so true my dentist drives a 911s
Porsche exhaust sounds like my lawn mower. Pass.
lt1 check your specs
Why not compare it too a challenger hellcat 707 hp for 59,999$
3:15 roof top down
Hmmmm.. Im 6'4 i wounder if i could fit in one if these 😔
same here bud
I'm the same height. You can fit but it is really uncomfortable compared to the c6. The seats are not better imo, but they look better. Unless you have really skinny legs, the bottom outter edge of the seat will hit the back of your thighs because the seat is too narrow.
I sat in one at a dealership and ur absolutely right uncomfortable
Love this car !
(⌒-⌒; )
AT THE END OF THE DAY... IS STILL A FUCKING CHEVROLET.
Corvette dont have paddle shifts ? why is he not using it ? O.o
The one he was driving was a manual car with no paddle shifters. Only the automatic cars have that :)
I might get hated on but I always preferred paddles lol
paddles are cool men :D
That paddle you see is for the rev matcher
the stingray convertible looks so much better than the coupe. i miss the round design though. this looks too edgy to call a corvette.
still looks like a vette can't mistake it for other car
This new design actually brought me back to being interested in buying one. I welcome this new design with open arms. It's absolutely beautiful and I happen to love the new rear end. It was time for a change. Good job Chevy/GM , imho!
Looks like a Corvette to me. If anything I wish they would release a real coupe like the C5 Z06. That body style is just so amazing.
Tee Bee
rear end looks like a camaro bro. I guarantee they switch it in the later models.
Nobody likes a corvette that looks like a camaro.
Merica
Coupe looks better than the convertible...you can have targa top off. So thats like a drop head...
This guy needs to learn how to talk without killing himself.
Can't believe they increased the price of this car $2,000 in March, and $1,400 on the Z51 package. PLUS, a 1% price increase on the 2015 stingray. GM is getting too greedy. Also, they're too cheap to do a recall on their chevy cobalt for their defective ignition switch resulting in at least a dozen death. Terrible company.
A budget supercar? In europe we call it a shitty car
Not anymore. ...the new ones have nice interiors.
no round taillights and no pop up headlamps is so uncorvette. that's like asking mustang to forego its triple bar taillights. those were signature lines of the car and now they are gone. GM must have had an Italian designer heading the design team. Domestics these days are trying too hard to be imports yet alone keep up with them.
They have to appeal to a younger gen. They can't continue to sell to older people
***** the tail lights were slightly lined but still carried the curvature as the body lines made them appear more square.
I am proud of the C5 and somewhat of the C6 as aside from the headlamps, it still had the corvette factor. But C7 is a major disaster. Do you really think a 23 yr. old kid is gonna be able to afford a corvette? The major target audience should be what it always has been.
erin morales Firstly, you do realize the C5 lights are ovals right? Secondly, the first corvette had neither four round tail lights nor pop up headlights. A 23 year old kid with a solid job (not working at some cheap fast food place) and basic knowledge of how to budget their money can easily afford a Corvette. It's all about budgeting. The only signature of the corvette is the crossed flags and the stance, both of which the C7 has retained, and made far more impressive.
2014 Corvette "Heinz 57"! Come on Chevrolet, it's supposed to be an American sports car, not a dudamaflatchy!
Every stingray made has looked odd to me including this one....C6 looks better
Red leather is always hideous. I knew an American car had to maintain an element of vulgarity.
eth6706
They're?
Samsgarden yes dipshit......as in "they are"
