For the last seven decades, the Corvette line of sports cars has represented the pinnacle of American supercar performance and design. The 2025 Corvette Stingray maintains that lofty reputation by striking a rare balance between precision-engineered power, agile handling, immaculate design, and modern amenities that improve the driving experience.
Precision-Engineered Power
Beneath the Stingray’s hood, there is the proven 6.2-liter DI V8 engine with a dry sump oil system, variable valve timing, and active fuel management. It’s paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that offers the responsiveness and precision of a manual transmission with the smooth transitions of an automatic gearbox. The powertrain produces an incredible 490 horsepower and 465 foot-pounds of torque.
Available Z51 Performance Package
The optional Z51 Performance Package offers track-friendly features that boost performance. It includes an electronic limited-slip differential, performance suspension, performance exhaust, a performance rear axle ratio, Brembo brakes, a Z51-specific front splitter and rear spoiler, a heavy-duty cooling system, and high-performance summer tires. With the package, the Stingray produces 495 horsepower and 470 foot-pounds of torque.
Track-Worthy Suspension
The Stingray offers advanced suspension systems that enhance ride quality. It features the standard Corvette suspension with a short/long arm double wishbone, 46 mm monotube shock absorbers, and a direct-acting rear stabilizer bar. There is also optional Magnetic Selective Ride Control, a damping system that quickly reacts to changing driving conditions with metal particle-infused suspension fluid that instantly becomes rigid for increased stability.
Super Safety Features
The Stingray isn’t just about speed, as it incorporates advanced standard safety features that prevent accidents and protect drivers. Those features include automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, side blind zone alert, lane keep assist, following distance indicator, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, front pedestrian and bicyclist braking, rear park assist, and OnStar Basics with automatic crash response.
Ergonomic Performance Seating
The performance-inspired interior of the Stingray wraps the driver in ergonomic comfort without sacrificing control. The standard 8-way power-adjustable GT1 bucket seats are designed to provide comfort and support, but available seating options like the carbon fiber-trimmed GT2 bucket seats and the high-performance Competition Sport bucket seats offer even more support.
Modern Digital Technology
Whether on the open road, around town, or at the track, the Stingray has technology that keeps drivers engaged and connected. While the standard infotainment and connectivity features in the Stingray include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility and a Bose Premium 10-speaker sound system, optional features like a head-up display, a performance data and video recorder, and wireless device charging are also available.
The Stingray continues to set the standard for American-made sports cars, with performance-driven power, track-inspired handling, and modern features that enhance the driving experience. Contact Princeton Chevrolet GMC in Princeton, IL, to take the new Stingray for a test drive today.
