The all-new mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is one of the most anticipated cars of 2020. And with assurances of a 490-horsepower (base model), a sub-three-second 60 mile-per-hour time, and a $59,000 base MSRP, how could it not be?  The mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette had been teased, spied, leaked, and promised for decades and time and time again we had been assured a mid-engine Corvette was just around the corner, only to have it never materialize…

It is finally here, a new generation of Corvette, designed with an engine in the center of the car. The benefit of this well-balanced mid-engine design is enhanced-stability resulting in better performance on the racetrack. This was always a personal obsession of “Father of the Corvette” Zora Arkus-Duntov since the 1950s. From that year on, the Vette with its engine behind the driver always seemed to be in the works. GM launched three mid-engine dream car concepts from 1960 to 1990 that teased the vehicle layout… 2020 has been long-awaited, but finally the Mid-Engine has arrived, under the Chevrolet name plate and it is as glorious as anyone could have imagined.

The 2020 Corvette Stingray Coupe in the collection of the Midwest Dream Car Collection is finished in a striking Elkhart Lake Blue metallic paint. It is equipped with the 6.2 L V8 DI HP engine which is paired to a 8-speed dual clutch transmission. Options include the 3LT Coupe Premium Equipment Package which includes such goodies as an upgraded infotainment system with navigation, head-up display, GT2 bucket seats, custom leather wrapped upper interior trim package, advanced theft-deterrent system, and many other interior upgrades. To aid in performance this Corvette is also equipped with the Z51 Performance Package which includes performance brakes, suspension, exhaust, rear axle, heavy duty cooling system rear spoiler and high-performance tires mounted on 19” front and 20” rear 5 Trident Spoke black painted aluminum wheels. Add to this already impressive list of options the carbon fiber interior trim surrounding the cluster, console and door switch plates, heated and suede microfiber-wrapped steering wheel, competition sport bucket seats with Torch Red seat belts and Adrenaline Red custom leather stitching. This new C-8 mid-engine Corvette Stingray is everything and more, and is sure to impress even the most discriminating gear-head in all of us.
