2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray US Pricing Announced

General Motors has just released official word that the new Corvette will start at $51,995, which includes $995 for destination and handling. Time to get the checkbooks out boys, because this much improved C7 is basically the same price as the C6 was, give or take a bit.

“The 2014 Corvette Stingray perfectly embodies Chevrolet’s mission to deliver more than expected for our customers,” said Chris Perry, vice president, Chevrolet marketing. “The Corvette Stingray delivers a combination of performance, design and technology that very few manufacturers can match, and none can even come close for $52,000.”

Standard features will include the following:

• Seating with lightweight magnesium frames for exceptional support, and eight-way power adjustment
• Five-position Drive Mode Selector that tailors up to 12 vehicle attributes
• New seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching
• 6.2L LT1 V-8 engine with direct injection, Active Fuel Management, continuously variable valve timing and an advanced combustion system
• Carbon fiber hood on all models, and a carbon fiber removable roof panel on coupes
• Aluminum frame that is 99 pounds lighter (45 kg) and 57-percent stiffer than the previous model’s structure
• Advanced, high-intensity discharge (HID) and light-emitting diode (LED) lighting
• Dual, eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens, with next-generation Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system and rear vision camera
• Bose nine-speaker audio system with SiriusXM Satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, USB and SD card and auxiliary input jack
• Keyless access with push-button start
• Power tilt/telescope steering wheel
• An all-new, fully electronic top on the convertible that can be lowered remotely using the key fob

In its most basic form, it's a great car that you can use every day and have fun with on the weekends, but of course there are those out there that would just have a much better track car or extra toys. As shown at the 2013 NAIAS (live photos in the gallery below), the Corvette Stingray would set you back $73,360.

Here are the goodies you'd get:

• 3LT interior package, with leather-wrapped interior ($8,005)
• Z51 Performance Package ($2,800)
• Competition sports seats ($2,495)
• Exposed-carbon-fiber roof panel ($1,995)
• Magnetic Ride Control with Performance Traction Management ($1,795)
• Dual-mode exhaust system ($1,195)
• Carbon fiber interior trim ($995)
• Sueded, microfiber-wrapped upper interior trim ($995)
• Red-painted calipers ($595)
• Black-painted wheels ($495)

As we're sure you're already aware by now, the 2014 Corvette Stingray is powered by GM's brand new LT1 V8 engine that comes with cylinder deactivation and direct injection. The V8 has a displacement of 6.2 liters, delivering 450 hp and a peak torque of 450 lb-ft (610 Nm). The unit allows the C7 Corvette to complete the 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) sprint in under 4 seconds.
