Sizing up the Corvette's competition, it's hard to think of a premium sporting car that's not fair game. The 2015 Porsche 911 can claim greater versatility (thanks to its tiny rear seats) and a heightened sense of overall design harmony, but you'll be paying a lot more for less performance. You could probably say the same about the new 2015 BMW M4, but it's not as engaging to drive and its pricing with desirable options has crept up into Z06 territory. The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG coupe is on a farewell tour with its epic 6.2-liter V8, yet it lacks the visual impact of the 'Vette. As for the 2015 Dodge Viper and 2015 Nissan GT-R, they cost more and deliver less than the Z06. The 2015 Corvette is a juggernaut that's not to be missed if you're fortunate enough to be shopping for this kind of car.

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette is offered as a coupe or convertible in base Stingray, Stingray Z51 or Z06 trim. The coupe features a removable roof panel that stows in the trunk, while the convertible has a power soft top that can be operated while the car is moving at speeds up to 30 mph. The Stingray and Stingray Z51 are split into 1LT, 2LT and 3LT sub-trims; the Z06 comes in 1LZ, 2LZ and 3LZ sub-trims.

The Corvette Stingray 1LT starts with 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, Brembo brakes, xenon headlights, heated mirrors, keyless ignition and entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, leather upholstery, eight-way power front seats and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. Cabin technology highlights include OnStar (with this year's 4G LTE data connection with WiFi hotspot capability), Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, an 8-inch color driver information display, an 8-inch central touchscreen with Chevy's MyLink infotainment interface, a rearview camera and a nine-speaker Bose sound system with two USB ports, an auxiliary audio jack, an SD card reader and satellite radio.

The Stingray Z51 1LT adds 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, exterior aero trim, larger front brakes, slotted brake rotors, sportier suspension tuning, revised transmission gear ratios (manual only), an electronic limited-slip differential, a differential cooler, dry-sump oiling for the V8 engine and a dual-mode performance exhaust (optional on non-Z51 Stingrays).

All Stingray 2LT models come with auto-dimming driver-side and rearview mirrors, a head-up display, a cargo shade, interior-color console and armrest trim, heated and ventilated seats with power lumbar and side bolster adjustments, driver memory settings and an upgraded Bose sound system with a subwoofer.

The 3LT models add premium leather upholstery with extended surface coverage, an interior-color instrument panel and a navigation system (optional on 1LT and 2LT) that includes the Performance Data Recorder feature.

Stingray Z51 models in the 2LT or 3LT sub-trim are eligible for a pair of new-for-2015 appearance packages. The Pacific Design package (for the coupe) includes black racing stripes, black wheels, red brake calipers, carbon-fiber exterior and interior trim and sport seats. The Atlantic Design package (for the convertible), which Chevy evocatively describes as "inspired by the luxury and performance of private jets seen at European vacation destinations," includes a Z06-style front splitter, "stinger" graphics on the hood and tonneau cover, gray exterior vents, a Stingray-themed underhood liner and custom luggage. (Maybe the luggage is the European part.)

Note that all Z51 models can be equipped with adaptive suspension dampers that come bundled with an upgraded traction management system.

The Z06 departs from its fixed-roof, coupe-only tradition, sharing the regular Corvette's removable roof panel (coupe) and power soft top (convertible) for the first time. The Z06 1LZ starts with the Stingray Z51 1LT's standard equipment and adds the supercharged engine, the Z51's optional adaptive dampers, a Z06-specific sport-tuned suspension, larger brakes all around, wider tires, a carbon-fiber hood, a more aggressive aero package (including wider front and rear fenders, expanded cooling vents and a unique front grille and rear fascia), the head-up display and a flat-bottomed steering wheel with carbon-fiber spokes.

The Z06 2LZ gets the 2LT's upgrades minus the head-up display (already standard), while the Z06 3LZ gets the 3LT's upgrades plus synthetic-suede upper interior trim.

Z06 options include the Carbon-Fiber Aero package, which adds an enhanced carbon-fiber front splitter, carbon-fiber rocker panels and a larger rear spoiler with a fixed "wickerbill" vertical extension at the back. The carbon-fiber front splitter and rocker panels are also included in the Z07 Performance package (albeit with larger end plates for the splitter), which adds an adjustable see-through center section to the rear spoiler (for fine-tuned track performance), special tires and even larger carbon-ceramic brake rotors.

Sport seats (included in the Stingray Z51 coupe's Pacific package) are optional on all Corvettes, while all coupes can be had with a transparent roof panel. Among other aesthetic upgrades, the base Stingray models are eligible for a ZF1 Appearance package that throws in the Z51's wheels and rear spoiler.

The Corvette Stingray and Stingray Z51 are powered by a 6.2-liter V8 that drives the rear wheels. Maximum standard output is 455 hp and 460 pound-feet of torque, while the optional performance exhaust bumps those numbers to 460 and 465, respectively. A seven-speed manual (with automatic rev-matching) is the default transmission, with an eight-speed automatic also available. Both transmissions feature a launch control mode.

EPA-estimated Corvette fuel economy is a remarkable 21 mpg combined (17 city/29 highway) with the manual transmission. The automatic returns a virtually identical 20 mpg combined (16 city/29 highway).

The Corvette Z06 steps up to a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that cranks out 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. The same two transmissions are offered, marking the first time an automatic has been available on a Z06. Equipped with the manual, the Z06 rates an EPA-estimated 18 mpg combined (15 city/22 highway), whereas the automatic earns figures of 16 mpg combined (13 city/21 highway).

In performance testing, a Stingray Z51 coupe with the manual transmission accelerated from zero to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. The automatic was even quicker, at 4.0 seconds. Chevy says that early Z06 tests indicate that 60 mph arrives in about 3 seconds flat, with the quarter-mile passing in an astonishing 11 seconds.

Standard safety features on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette include antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, side-impact airbags and a rearview camera. Also standard is OnStar, which includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, remote door unlocking and stolen vehicle assistance.

In brake testing, a Stingray Z51 coupe with its upgraded brakes needed just 93 feet to stop from 60 mph, the shortest distance we've ever recorded.

The naturally aspirated V8 in the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is so powerful and flexible that it's a dream engine in its own right. Midrange torque is prodigious and, should you put the hammer down, you'll be at redline before you know it. That spirited performance is accompanied by a glorious symphony trumpeting from the exhaust's quad tailpipes, should you opt for the dual-mode exhaust.

There just aren't any weaknesses in this motor, and the new eight-speed automatic actually amplifies its performance, upshifting so quickly that accelerating through the gears feels like a single seamless surge. Downshifts are swift and perfectly rev-matched as well. Oddly, it's not quite as razor-sharp when shifted manually, as there can be a noticeable lag after the paddle flick before the downshift occurs. Overall, however, any Corvette Stingray is a bona fide thrill machine.

When you replace "Stingray" with "Z06," things just get crazy, as in crazy-fast. We've yet to fully test it, but it's fair to assume that acceleration will be utterly explosive at all times. Only a handful of exotics can match the Z06's performance.

Either way, the 2015 Corvette's steering provides excellent feel and response, while grip is extraordinary from the base tires and just gets better from there. The adjustable traction and stability control systems also allow drivers to approach the car's handling limits safely. At the same time, even track-ready Corvette models are eminently comfortable long-distance tourers or golf course shuttles, and they can even serve as grocery carts in a pinch. If you're after a sports car for all occasions, it's hard to do better than a 'Vette no matter how much money you have to spend.

Cabin design and quality have been Corvette foibles for decades, but not anymore. With the C7, Chevrolet made a concerted effort to bring the 'Vette's interior up to snuff. The cockpit is more driver-centric now, with a sharply canted center stack that creates a jetfighter-like vibe. Materials quality is, for the most part, very good, although little things like the flimsy-feeling engine starter button allow Porsche's 911 and Boxster/Cayman to keep the lead for interior refinement. We do like the seats, which provide firm, well-shaped support in all driving scenarios -- particularly with the optional power side bolsters. The available sport seats add even more lateral snugness.

After driving the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, you'll think it should cost more than it does. Need to get moving quickly? The standard Corvette Stingray snaps to 60 mph in under four seconds. Want to save fuel? The same car will log nearly 30 mpg on a fuel-economy run as the Eco mode's automatic cylinder-shutoff turns the V8 seamlessly into a fuel-saving V4. Steering and braking response rivals Porsche, and the Drive Mode Selector on the center console significantly alters the Corvette's handling, steering, throttle response and even the exhaust note through five driver-selectable programs. It's the same story for the convertible, but with a power top that opens in 16 seconds, at driving speeds up to 30 mph. The additional 200 horsepower in the new Corvette Z06 is only part of the story. The suspension, aerodynamics and other enhancements simply make it the best Corvette ever.

8-SPEED AUTOMATICWhether you're driving the standard-issue Corvette Stingray or the new 650-horsepower Z06, you can have an all-new 8-speed automatic at your disposal. Not only is it stout enough for the incredible Z06, this torque-converter-type transmission can actually shift faster than the dual-clutch 7-speed found in a Porsche 911.CORVETTE Z06First, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 offers a supercharged V8 engine that's the most powerful factory engine ever put in any car sold by GM. Second, it's finally available as a convertible, with no loss of performance. The cost? How about a base price less than $ 80,000 for the coupe.

It used to be that the Corvette's interior was something drivers tolerated so they could enjoy the car's performance. Now, it's a primary selling point. The combination of leather, aluminum and carbon fiber is as easy on eyes as it is the body, and when combined with the available suede upgrades and the 8-inch color screen on the center dash, this Stingray's interior is a special place indeed. Details include two power USB ports in the center console and excellent cargo space under the coupe's rear hatch; even the convertible sports a big and usable trunk.

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray offers a road presence that has been absent in its predecessors for some time. Still uniquely American, the coupe and convertible also offer up international cues, such as the decidedly Ferrari-esque front grille treatment. Even the iconic round taillights received a modernizing update. The Stingray convertible of course loses the sweep of the coupe's roof, but when the fabric top is lowered and stowed behind the rear seats, it offers a presence all its own. The 2015 Corvette Z06 adds wider fenders and other aggressive styling cues to signify its role as the Alpha Corvette.

Aside from dashing good looks, V8 horsepower and a 7-speed manual transmission, the Corvette Stingray comes with 8-way power-adjustable magnesium-framed seats, keyless entry with push-button start, a power-adjustable tilt/telescoping steering wheel, and 5-position Drive Mode selector that lets you adjust the Corvette's driving personality to match the situation. The dash houses an 8-inch touch-screen display for the standard 9-speaker Bose audio, Chevy MyLink infotainment system and the standard rearview camera. All Corvette Stingray coupes get a removable carbon-fiber roof panel, while the convertible's electronic top can be operated remotely using the key fob.

We strongly recommend the Z51 Performance Package for the Corvette Stingray, which upgrades the brakes, suspension, oiling system, tires and cooling system, while also adding an electronic limited-slip differential. Magnetic Ride Control lets the Corvette go from freeway commuter to racetrack-ready with the turn of a dial, while a dual-mode exhaust amps up the sound and adds a few horses. Interior upgrades include suede trim and a competition seat package. Corvette Z06 owners should opt for the Z07 performance package, which adds carbon-ceramic brakes and other go-even-faster hardware. The new 8-speed automatic offers paddle shifters and lightning-fast shifts.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Consumer Reviews

Stingray 2dr Coupe w/1LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)

C7 is the best ever Corvette

C7 is a great car. I have had several Vettes or a 40 year span. Each generation is better than the previous. I have driven this one 25,000+ miles. It can be very comfortable in Touring or Eco mode or it can be set for track and drive like a race car. I have taken 2000 mile trips and been very comfortable and I have taken it to track days to have a blast. This is a great car. I have the base model with ZF1 appearance package and dual model exhaust. No expensive options, no handling options, still a great car.

Stingray 2dr Convertible w/3LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)

Could be better

As an old 911 driver, I decided to finally forgive Government Motors, and give the corvette a try. Beautiful car, inside and out. Fast and fun to drive. My pet peeve with most American cars is the cheap materials used on the interiors. It's a little better than before, but there is still much room for improvement. On the value front, for the money spent I would have had to go back at least 2 years to buy a Porsche 911, which handles much better, has a much higher quality interior as well as fit and finish, and, imho, is just as beautiful. I'm happy I bought the vette, I'd rather own a new '15 C7 than a '12 911 for the same money. I would actually rate it 3 1/2 stars.

Stingray 2dr Coupe w/2LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)

The best car I've ever owned.

There is no adequate way to describe this car other than "FANTASTIC". I've never owned a real "performance" car before this one; purchased at age 65. Power is unbelievable, gas mileage is unbelievable for a car with this much power. On highway trips, I always average over 32 MPG. Maintenance has been super except for the automatic transmission. 2015 was the first year for the 8 speed automatic. At 18k miles, the transmission was replaced, and at 32k miles the torque converter was replaced; I understand this was not unusual for the 2015 models. With the last repair, I was assured the problem should not reoccur. That is the only service problem I've ever had. The infotainment system works perfectly; never a problem understanding voice commands. Their is a small problem getting in and out for an almost 70 year old, but once you get in, this car has a very comfortable ride. Get rid of the run flat tires, and the road noise is much less. My wife and I have owned 75 cars since getting married 50 years ago. This is the best car I've ever owned, and I've owned it longer than any of the others; almost four years.

Stingray 2dr Coupe w/1LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)

Present Imperfect

The 2015 Corvette StingRay is a helluva buy, but it has too many flaws and compromises to be a "great" all around sports/touring car. First, the good parts: Although a few friends call it the "cartoon car" the C7's styling is gorgeous. It will turn heads and get "thumbs up" from passers-by. Some "Corvette guys" do not like the rear end because it lacks the traditional round taillights. This is merely a matter of taste. Overall, the exterior design is a winner even if it does create a bunch of nooks and crannies to clean. The engine also does not disappoint. The StingRay has gobs of muscle and a wonderful Made in USA V-8 sound that will put a smile on your face. The car is built low to the ground. It can be difficult for older folks to enter/exit and the long nose makes for visibility challenges in parking lots with concrete barriers. The rear hatch has a troublesome latch assembly which needs to be slammed shut rather than merely closed and the automatic hatch opening switch on the dash is positioned too close to the driver's door; I have opened the hatch with my knee a dozen times slipping into the driver's seat. Those who live in a four season climate need to consider whether they want the "summer only" 20 inch rear tires. I have no idea whether these are really unmanageable below 40 degrees as the warnings state. My choice was the Michelin year round set up. Whatever, this is not a snow car, at least not with me behind the wheel. Where the StingRay disappoints most is inside. Here the layout is good and straightforward but the materials used are just so-so, closer to WalMart than Brooks Brothers. No matter what color interior you choose, it will be mostly black. It is unlikely your salesman will tell you that on a sunny summer day the amount of glass in this car makes the cockpit uncomfortably hot (even with the A.C. cranked up full bore) unless you are willing to take out the roof panel or buy an after-market insert. BTW, the insert does fix the problem and one wonders why GM doesn't simply include it as an option. The seat belt guides are poorly positioned and I have given up on trying to keep mine in the intended (dime store quality) track. Similarly, the seat release is placed quite low and would be more user-friendly if it were higher on the seat back. The basic seats in the LT1 version are borderline with only minimal adjustments possible. Lack of bolstering is an increasing issue for me. Why GM skimped on standard heating - something that comes on Japanese cars costing half as much - and position memory is a mystery. The Navigation system is a real P.O.S. It is very slow in taking input and recently in driving through a strange city at night, the spoken directions lagged reality by a block or more. Overall it is a disgrace to General Motors. Twice now , the touch screen has gone blank for half a day and then suddenly reappeared. Nor am I a fan of the other techno stuff, but maybe that is just age talking. I refuse to accept the facile explanation, "well, what do you expect, its a Chevy." I believe Detroit can design and the UAW can build an automobile just as well as Klaus and Helmut in Stuttgart. The idea that "they are trying to sell it to kids," is also a non-starter; how many kids can buy a $ 60,000+ two seat car? Don't misunderstand, this is real good car FOR THE MONEY, but it could be so much better! Which is why I am seriously thinking about a 911.

2019 Chevrolet Corvette

"C7 way better Corvette than C6"

FYI, I am comparing this 2019 model to my 2010 base model with selective ride control and automatic 6 speed transmission, I have over 110k miles driving them in all weather except snow. I ordered custom a base 1Lt and mechanically only added the computer assisted Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) and Automatic 8 speed transmission, similar to my 2010, I did order the newest color the Elkhart Lake Blue with gray seat interior and black painted rims and every Stingray badging offered with the blackened chrome Corvette and Stingray markings, with body colored vent grills and high performance air filter. So it looks awesome in those regards. I added the Z51 grill a $ 400 option from the dealer with custom amber LED driving lights i created tucked into the top of the brake cooling air intakes and the Z51 brakes which cost me $ 2.4k at the dealer. I didn't want a Z51 optioned from the factory as I was going to add the MRC and it was a waste to do that on the Z51 suspension and was a $ 6k option with its complicated dry sump oil system and harsher ride. Stock brakes are fine but it looks better with larger rotors in the front and stops a bit faster at higher speeds. I also changed the tires to the all weather Michelins a $ 1k cost. The 1Lt interior has more than enough color LCD dash and console eye candy to keep you busy so its way more complicated looking than the 2010. The nice thing is there are still analog turn knobs for the radio volume, heater/AC temp, fan speed with conventional push buttons for the vent operation. The stereo is now 9 speaker Bose with a bit of a too much deep base subwoofer flair. All the steering wheel buttons are functional on this base model, nothing is covered off. There are 5 dash suspension settings and you can choose dash look to be your choice even in a different suspension settings. Launch control to attempt its rated 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and 11.6 sec 1/4 mile runs. Interior room is suppose to be identical to the 2010 but due to the fighter cockpit wrap around dash it feels a bit more confined and the new seats do not slide back as far as the 2010 due to their thicker design but side support and overall comfort is better. I am 6'2" and can fit ok, leg room is good, maybe could use another inch back on the peddles but ok. Interior finish is very nice and high tech. Regarding performance, the throttle response is smooth, too smooth in drive its way too easy to get triple digests on what would normally be much lower speed passing maneuvers. The transmission is designed to jump down to the best power gear on hard throttle so be ready for that before you floor it. The paddle shifters are now like the Camaro left pull up to downshift and right pull up to upshift. I like it better not having to remember to use your thumb for upshifting like the 2010. The MRC is a must with the even lower profile tires, in sport mode you can feel the suspension track every contour but not harsh and surprisingly pot holes and RR tracks feel like floating over them with no hard hit bounce. Just like the 2010 but a bit more wheel travel it feels like on this model which is an impovement. I have not used the manual paddle shift much yet but the shift points seem smooth and quick. I used my Costco discount and my GM BuyPower points which knocked off $ 10k from the $ 63k MSPR as optioned. Runs fine on regular gas, 23 mph around town as much as 42 highway and thats not babying it at all :)

2016 Chevrolet Corvette

"It's A Smile Machine"

Whether you're driving, a passenger, or street onlooker, everyone smiles. I love my 2016 Z06. So fun to drive. So fast and responsive. It looks so Good. I have not one complaint about it. Overall quality is excellent. Service & repairs are affordable. Reliability has been great. Power, speed, and handling are deep into super car territory. You will never get close to its limits legally driving on a public road. I do my own oil changes and basic maintenance and the GM parts are very reasonable. I keep mine in the garage during the winter to keep it nice. It's not my daily driver only because I love it too much for work. But I drive it for pleasure every chance I get. Be prepared, you will get a lot of looks, stares, and folks coming up to you to look at it and talk about it. Everyone just loves this car, it's crazy. One last thing, get the manual. Rowing through the gears and listening to the tremendous exhaust tones is pure heaven.Read less
