`Corvette Stingray: 3.8 seconds from 0 to 60 mph
`
`Turns in 2:51.8 lap at Virginia International Raceway ‘Grand Course’
`2013-06-20
`
`DETROIT – Chevrolet released official performance estimates today for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, the most capable
`standard Corvette ever. Equipped with the available Z51 Performance Package, the new Stingray is capable of
`accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, braking from 60 to 0 in 107 feet, and sustaining 1.03 g in cornering.
`
`Cumulatively, the acceleration, cornering and braking capability of the Corvette Stingray enabled it to lap the Virginia
`International Raceway’s (VIR) 4.2-mile “Grand Course” in 2:51.78.
`
`“For the new Stingray, we set out to elevate every aspect of the Corvette’s performance,” said Tadge Juechter,
`Corvette chief engineer. “Considered alone, the acceleration, braking and cornering performance of the Corvette
`Stingray is truly impressive. More significant is how well they work together, resulting in a lap time at VIR that places
`the new Stingray in the upper echelon of all sports cars.”

`The lap around VIR was conducted in Stingray equipped with the available Z51 Performance Package and Magnetic
`Ride Control. The vehicle that conducted the lap was modified only with safety features like a racing seat and harness,
`and fire extinguisher system.
`
` “The new Stingray constantly communicates feedback to the driver, which makes you feel incredibly confident behind
`the wheel,” said Jim Mero, Corvette vehicle dynamics engineer. “That confidence encourages you to attack each corner
`because the Stingray drives so well: the tire grip is incredible; the steering response is some of the best I’ve ever
`experienced; the Magnetic Ride dampers allow little body roll through the corner, while still soaking up the rumble
