Offered with less than 1,190 miles (1,915 kilometers) on the odometer, the stunning car we’ll cover today features the same output ratings as the seventh-generation Corvette Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package. 460 horsepower and 465 pound-feet (630 Nm) of torque, to be more precise, and the power-assisted disc brakes also come courtesy of the newer model.
