Supercar looks and performance

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.
What Is New In 2021 C8 Mid-Engine Corvette
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 has been the subject of much ink since it was launched, especially since its engine is now placed in the rear center position. Soon we may see the introduction of the E-Ray version, which is expected to be hybrid and to replace the Corvette Grand Sport. But today we are going to look at what s new in 2021 Corvette and particularly at its Stingray Coupe 2LT with the Z51 performance package.

The 2021 Corvette Stingray comes in three main trims: 1LT, 2LT and 3LT. Each of these three trims have both the Couple and Convertible versions. Options also include the Z51 Performance Package, as well as Front LIFT Adjustable Height Memory and Z51 Performance Suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

The all-new eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette introduces a variety of sweeping changes for the storied Chevy sports car, not the least of which is a brand-new, mid-mounted V8 powerplant. Naturally, such a significant alteration necessitates equally significant attention – enter the C8 Corvette Engine Appearance Package, which (literally) sheds light on the Bow Tie brand’s latest atmospheric V8 powerplant.
