2019 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT Convertible
"Forget the Chevrolet bow tie-the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray's performance puts it on a level with some of the best sports cars in the world. Some of that credibility is thanks to the growling 455hp V8 under the hood, which pairs with an excellent manual or automatic transmission. The other part belongs to its fantastic chassis that provides phenomenal ride and handling abilities. Along with its poster worthy exterior design and legitimately affordable price, the Corvette has again won one of our 10 Best Cars awards for 2019, meaning we think it's one of the best cars you can buy."

For consignment, a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT convertible with a title verified 6,752 actual miles, a one owner, garage kept specimen in a fantastic spec that will likely find a new home sooner than later. The 2LT package adds a number of features onto the 1LT, including heated and ventilated seats, a 10 speaker audio system, and heated mirrors. This is a final year C7 Corvette, last of the front engine Corvettes which cause some, such as Road and Track magazine, to speculate this generation will hold its value better than others.
Exterior
If Stormtroopers drove Corvettes, this would be the one, an Artic White street fighter with a black canvas top, forward leaning black fender vents, and glossy black wheels. From the back, it really does look like something from outer space, squinting tail lights illuminating like jet thrusters as a third brake light looms large like a UFO on top. Of course, the center exit quad exhaust tips are so good, so special, that only the monstrous Z06 and ZR1 received them in the C8 generation. High intensity headlights fit flush to the corners while a black intake vent lives on the hood drawing the eyes to the steeply raked windshield. The 5 spoke wheels are slightly staggered in size, 19's in front and 20's in the rear, each with super low profile ZR\ rated tires that put down some meaty contact patches. The canvas top and its glass window are in great shape, and when not in use, tuck away under a black accented fairing that waterfalls white into the cockpit between the seats. We could find no glaring imperfections on the exterior of this land rocket.
Interior
Jet Black leather and plastic construct the door panel with white thread accenting used sparingly, tastefully. Inside, that white thread adorns the GT sport bucket seats with Mulan leather, both with 2LT power adjustments and high head restraints. A thick sport steering wheel has plenty of thumb buttons, but your other digits are not left out of the party as paddle shifters are there for the blipping. A fully electronic instrument panel puts the tach in the center of a virtual light show with a 200 mph speedometer to the left, and numerous curved meters throughout measuring all engine functions of temperature, pressure, and volumes. In the center and canted toward the driver, a large touchscreen relays the functions of the entertainment system that includes AM and FM radio, Bluetooth, Apple Carplay and Android, Sirius XM, and 4G LTE hotspot capability. Over on the passenger side, components wrap around the space creating a pod-like environment with a handle that borders the center console which is driver focused with shifter and button panels. Black carpet lines the floor and a sizable dead pedal is provided to the driver. That same carpet lines a small trunk and our tour of the interior ends without finding a single blemish.
Drivetrain
A large plastic dress piece covers most of the engine, a rip roaring 6.2 liter LT1 V8 putting out 460 horsepower and backed by an 8L90E 8-speed automatic transmission. All of those ponies get sent to the back wheels of course, where 3.42 gears with limited slip is found. Power ventilated disc brakes are the only option here and they're on all four wheels.
Undercarriage
As expected, the underside where flat surfaces abound for aerodynamics, is clean as could be with barely signs of use. The dual exhaust runs down a center tunnel and widens a bit to find the original mufflers, then exiting with 2LT 3 inch polished exhaust tips. Suspension is mirrored on both ends, configured with short arm, long arm, and transverse leaf springs.
Drive-Ability
We leave the mothership in the landspeeder and make our way around the test loop with no surprises. Incredible grip and handling, outrageous acceleration, and on point braking, all from the cocoon-like cockpit. Sure, there are a lot of sound options that could be blasted through the 10 speakers, but the engine sound is music to our ears. And so is the report card, where the car scores 100 for functionality. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
If you know Vettes, this was nothing but a review for you and you're probably already dialing our number. But if you're new to the tribe, let us introduce you to one of the best performance values in the world, and this one takes its top off! This is a like new example ideal for beach cruising, canyon carving, mountain climbing, or sailing through amber waves of grain. America is back baby, and this car encapsulates all that is good in the world! We're thrilled to have it here, but know its visit is temporary.
