The 2014 Chevy Corvette Specs Offer Exciting Possibilities

The Corvette has always offered muscular performance numbers, but as the 2014 Chevy Corvette specs reveal, the newest version of this classic pony car is bigger, badder, and better than ever. Drivers that have had the thrill of sitting behind the wheel of the 2014 Chevy Corvette typically exit the vehicle with their hair blown back, their knuckles white, and a huge grin on their face. Learn more about this unparalleled automobile, and then make plans to check it out in person at Cox Chevy in Bradenton.

Powertrain

The rear wheels of the 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray are powered by a 6.2L V8 engine that is strong enough to out out 455 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Those are both big gains over the outgoing Corvette, especially in terms of torque with the latest engine putting out an extra 50 lb-ft below 4,000 RPM. Drivers can also choose to go with a duel-mode exhaust that boosts torque to 465 lb-ft. Transmission options include a seven-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.

Speed

In independent testing, the 2014 Chevy Corvette Z51 with the manual transmission was able to go from 0 to 60 mph in a blinding  4.1 seconds. And thanks to the addition of a new launch control mode, drivers can gain traction faster and worry less about spinning the wheels when they put the pedal to the floor.

Fuel Economy

The 2014 Chevy Corvette specs reveal that this is a vehicle built for speed, but that doesn’t mean it has to burn up gas unnecessarily. Surprisingly, the latest build can put up efficiency ratings that reach as high as 17 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. That is thanks to new features like direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, and cylinder deactivation.
