inconsistencies and maximizes bond strength.
This revolutionary chassis improves torsional rigidity,
reducing noise and elevating performance to an art.
7 SPEEDS, ONE DRIVER An all-new 7-speed manual
transmission complements the LT1 V8 powerhouse that
propels Stingray. The rear transaxle location enables a
50/50 vehicle weight balance which optimizes handling.
Intelligent sensors anticipate gear selections and
match engine speed for smooth transitions during both
upshifts and downshifts. Active Rev Matching enhances
the driving experience by offering heel-toe shifting
perfection at the touch of a switch. A 6-speed paddle-
shift transmission is also available and offers improved
shift times in manual mode.
LIGHTER, MORE RIGID, MORE PRECISE Methodically
constructed to be the lightest and stiffest to date,
the Stingray aluminum space frame employs an
evolutionary approach to precision engineering.
One-third the weight of steel, aluminum improves
rigidity, which in turn enhances cornering and
handling. Lightweight carbon-nano-composite
underbody panels bond to aluminum, while
strategic use of cool joining processes minimizes
