Is there anything left to say about the C8 Corvette that hasnt already been said? Revolutionary. Extraordinary. And a screaming bargain. With just 823 miles on the clock, this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray R is still new in every sense of the word. Like most of its siblings, it has been treated gently and stored properly, so it remains pretty much as youd expect. The convertible doesnt change the look of the mid-engined C8 very much, and the mechanical symphony that retracts the roof under the rear deck is rather amazing to watch. This particular Stingray R is well dressed with a lot of carbon fiber, including both front and rear spoilers, carbon flash painted roof and mirrors, and details around the side air intakes. Theres not a mark on it, not a scuff on the chin spoiler, not a nick where someones foot didnt quite clear the side sills. It is spectacular. The Torch Red paint sizzles in the sunlight and really is the right color for a Corvette, particularly one as dramatic as the C8. Theres no sneaking around in a car like this, but Im guessing nobody buys a Corvette convertible because they want to keep a low profile. Its just awesome in person.
The Adrenaline Red leather interior is a fantastic choice with the Torch Red bodywork. The deeply sculpted bucket seats are unmarked and feature embroidered Corvette emblems in the headrests and enough adjustments that almost anyone can get comfortable behind the wheel. The squared-off steering wheel features bright red stitching and a matching chunk of red leather at the 12 oclock position so you always know where straight-ahead is, even in the heat of combat. Gauges are digital and totally configurable, with a myriad of features, measurements, and displays so you can get exactly the information you need. It also includes a high-quality entertainment system with touch-screen interface thats just to the right of the instrument pod. All C8 Corvettes come with the 8-speed dual clutch transmission with paddle shifters, but its content to handle the shifting for you if youre just cruising. The spine between the driver and passenger houses the automatic climate control buttons, which is kind of a neat touch. And with the flick of a switch, the roof stows itself behind the seats and out of sight, giving the Corvette an exceptionally clean profile. There are two modest trunks, one up front and one in back, which are fully upholstered and big enough for some soft duffel bags on a weekend getaway.
Wed love to show you the 6.2 liter V8, but its completely hidden-up top theres a panel that covers it in the convertible top well, and underneath theres a full belly pan for improved aero. You can look up all the specs online, but the all-aluminum powerplant is state-of-the-art as far as pushrod V8s go. Its docile around town but ferocious when you really want to stomp on it. It has a fresh oil change so its ready to rock, and the factory warranty is still 100% intact. It has not been modified or altered in any way, and given the low mileage, wed be surprised if it has ever seen more than 5000 RPM. This is a new car in just about every way that matters. The suspension is equally sophisticated, fully independent, and thanks to the mid-engine configuration, this C8 is faster around a track than almost any Corvette before it. The massive brakes are clamped by custom-painted bright red brake calipers (a $695 option) and it barks through an optional performance exhaust system that sounds heroic. Gloss black wheels provide contrast to the shiny red paint and carry 245/35/19 front and 305/30/20 rear Michelin Pilot radials that still have the casting quills on them.
Documentation includes all the books, manuals, tags, and fliers that came with the car, as well as the window sticker and build sheet.
