With the introduction of the mid-engine C8, the seventh generation of the Corvette became an instant classic. The C7 is the last of the traditional front-engine, rear-drive setup for the famous Bowtie brand, which is one reason this 2016 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Z51 makes for a great addition to any enthusiast collection. With just 60,229 miles on the odometer, its believed original Shark Grey Metallic looks almost as good as the day it was new. Offset by black accent trim pieces and matching powder-coated wheels, this car looks stunning from any angle, with or without its removable targa top.
Inside, we find a Jet Black stock leather interior that showcases one of the most comfortable cockpits of any Corvette generation. Sporty heated and ventilated power leather seats comfortably hold both driver and passenger, while a digital gauge display situated in front of the three-spoke steering wheel provides configurable feedback at a moment's notice. Another central display screen handles infotainment and doubles as a backup camera display. Analog HVAC dials for temperature and fan control make it easy to adjust the climate without taking your eyes off the road. Power windows, mirrors, locks, a telescoping wheel, dual-zone temperature control, navigation, and a Bose premium stereo that offers Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth connectivity make this interior easily livable for daily driving.
Lift up this Corvette's signature front-hinged louvered hood, and we find the original 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 engine. In stock guise, the Gen III LT1 utilizes variable valve technology and direct injection to deliver a stout 460 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. That seamless power is funneled through a somewhat rare seven-speed manual transmission before being sent to a 3.42:1-gear, limited-slip rear end. A staggered set of ten-spoke black wheels measuring 18 inches up front and 19 inches out back is shod in sticky 245/40ZR-18 and wider 285/35ZR-19 Continental rubber, respectively.
