The eighth generation (C8) Chevy Corvette Stingray is more athletic than ever, yet retains its legendary panache. Baltimore drivers who crave even sportier performance can buy or lease the new Corvette Z06. This track-focused version has a more muscular engine and a specially tuned chassis. Both Corvette versions are thrilling to drive and available in the new inventory at Ciocca Corvette of Atlantic City.
Background
2020 marked the beginning of the C8 Chevy Corvette Stingray, which has a mid-engine design for better weight balance between the front and rear. Its 490-horsepower V8 motor has been carried over to the present Corvette Stingray. In 2023, Chevrolet re-introduced the Z06 model into the Corvette's lineup. This high-performance version has a naturally aspirated 670-horsepower engine for even easier passing on the freeways in Philadelphia.

Ride and Handling

The new Chevy Corvette Stingray has precise steering and firm braking for deft handling on curvy roads in Florida.

An optional Magnetic Ride Control system makes its ride even silkier.
