The very name Chevrolet Corvette as been associated with the delivery of power and performance, that was unimaginably presented in a reasonable price. The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette has been an American icon since many years and now its performance is doing full justice to its name, while Chevrolet didn’t leave the opportunity to grab the attention of all car buyers by offering them its capacity through a variety of power options. All these options are given respective names to make the lineup stronger, varied and sound interesting. At the Houston Chevrolet dealer we were shown the different trim levels of 2019 Chevrolet Corvette and we see them as Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06, and the new ZR1 models. The models are available both as coupe and convertible body styles and their performances get better as you climb up higher the ladder.
Performance Chart
Corvette’s calling card lies in its performance that starts right there with the base trim Stingray and keeps soaring higher when you choose the Grand Sport that has a 455 of horsepower up its sleeve to boast and as you climb still higher the price, a 6.2-liter V-8 engine awaits you to experience a horsepower raised to 460, while the acceleration time to 60 mph from a 0 takes as quick as 3.6 seconds which is simply amazing.
The 6.2-liter V-8 engine supercharges the Z06 trim to deliver a horsepower as high as 650 hp with an equally tall torque of 650 pound-feet. This powertrain shows its capability through its speedy yet smooth acceleration of 0-60 mph in a time that takes lesser than three seconds.
The Z07 package that is ordered for the Grand Sport and Z06 trim now adds even more track-based features to reach their capability to the maximum level.
For the power crazy drivers, Chevrolet goes to the length of making the ZR1 trim that is to show how a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine can raise the bar of horsepower to a crazy count of 755 hp with a 715 lb-ft of torque to handle that much of energy when it flies off the ground, especially when driving through off-road terrains. To set it on fire the ZTK package added to the ZR1 gifts it a big rear wing and a stiffer suspension that pushes the ZR1 to a maximum speed of 212 mph. only the drivers who can handle such super cars should be given that much of freedom, says an expert we met at the Houston Chevy dealer. However, all the trims of the 2019 Chevrolet Corvettes are offered a 7-speed manual transmission or a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic to mate with the high capacity engines to build up those horsepower and torque rates.
Handling the 2019 Corvette
Handling the base model of the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette will be easier because of the Z51 package that will stiffen the suspension for you. On the other hand, the upgraded brakes, with the improved aerodynamics tweaks will add an electronically controlled limited-slip differential in order to improve the performance ratio as well as the track endurance.
