2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Review By Larry Nutson Supercar looks and performance Chicago Bureau The Auto Channel My first stint behind the wheel of the new Corvette, the new mid-engine C8 that is, was for a few days last fall at my Chicago home. I recently had another drive experience. Although it’s winter I’ve been spending time in the more moderate climate of coastal Southeastern U.S. where weather conditions make for good Corvette driving. This time around I drove a 2021 model. Specifically, a coupe with 2LT trim and the optional Z51 Performance Package. The Stingray has received some changes in the way of features and colors for 2021. On the performance side, Magnetic Ride Control is now available without the Z51 package. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
