2015 Corvette Z51 Coupe 3215 miles
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 Description
I am selling my 2015 Corvette Stingray 1LT. It has Shark Gray Metallic paint, with light gray leather interior. In addition to the extensive standard equipment, this C7 is equipped with the 7 speed manual transmission, the Z51 package, including Magnetic Selective Ride Control, and Museum Delivery. See notes below for details if you are not well versed on the C7 equipment and options. This world class sports car has 3215 miles on it, and I have owned it for one year. 1200 miles were put on the car in the first week of ownership, when I picked the car up at the National Corvette Museum, next to the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky and drove it back to Austin with my son. We completed the 500 mile break-in period on the Natchez Trace Parkway. This is an incredible sports car, and you will love it!
The Corvette was just detailed for the new owner, and is ready to enjoy. Everything is original, and it has never been in any kind of accident. It has Suntek Carbon XP 80 window tint, which blocks the heat but does not darken the windows. I also installed the factory Z06 front splitter. Those are the only additions to the factory options. Everything else is original and unmodified. It has a 100,000 mile warranty on the drivetrain, with four years remaining. Roadside assistance is also included in this warranty. It's not likely you will put 97,000 miles on it, but you could do so and still have GM pay for any repairs needed to the engine, transmission, or rear differential. You can't get that on a 2016 Corvette. . .they now limit the powertrain warranty to 60,000 miles. The rest of the car has a 3 year/ 36,000 mile warranty and another year on the free maintenance package. That includes 3 more oil changes with Mobil 1 oil. I recommend Henna Chevrolet for service in Austin: They have a dedicated Corvette service writer and mechanic, and have handled one service bulletin (squeaky roof) and two maintenance inspections with oil changes in 12 months for me.I have the ride height set at the minimum specification, and the alignment is set to the GM performance specifications for camber, caster, and toe.
For those not familiar with the 2015 Corvette, you may find the following information helpful. If you know the car, then go ahead and send me an email to set up a meeting. No joy rides! Serious buyers with a 10% deposit will be able to drive the car. Proof of insurance is required to drive the car. You wreck it; you bought it.
Here is what GM says about the 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51:
Every inch of the Corvette Stingray exterior is shaped to enhance high-performance driving. Data from the Corvette Racing program was used to help balance front and rear grip. A functional hood extractor directs hot air from the grille up through the forward-tilted radiator and out of the engine compartment to increase downforce at high speeds.
Rigid, race-car-inspired carbon fiber and carbon-nano-composite underbody panels reduce weight to achieve optimal handling, balance and acceleration. The Stingray coupe can also become an open-top vehicle, with a carbon-fiber roof panel so light just one person can remove it and stow it in the trunk.
The latest generation Corvette aluminum space frame is 100 pounds lighter and 57% more rigid than its steel predecessor. The 6.2L LT1 V8 engine boasts 460 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, plus 0-to-60 times of 3.7 seconds. Compact engine design lowers the hood line and vehicle center of gravity.
A trio of innovative technologies rarely seen in any elite sports car -- Direct Injection, Variable Valve Timing and Active Fuel Managementâ„¢ -- combine revolutionary power with fuel efficiency. Direct Injection achieves maximum combustion efficiency, Variable Valve Timing optimizes camshaft timing, and Active Fuel Management seamlessly deactivates four cylinders when cruising at consistent speeds to help save fuel.
The standard 7-speed manual transmission is an equally brilliant complement to the LT1 V8. The rear transaxle location enables a 50/50 vehicle weight balance. Intelligent sensors anticipate gear selections and match engine speed for smooth transitions during both upshifts and downshifts. Active Rev Matching enhances the driving experience by simulating heel-toe shifting perfection at the touch of a switch.
The Z51 Performance Package features race-proven technologies like an Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (e-LSD) that promotes improved stability and responsiveness. A dry-sump oil system delivers oil to the engine through high g-force cornering. Z51 Corvettes have unique gear ratios in the 7 speed transmission, larger forged alloy wheels, bigger tires and larger sway bars for improved acceleration and cornering over the standard Corvette. This car has the optional Magnetic Selective Ride Control (third-generation) technology which stiffens the suspension for high-performance driving without sacrificing a smooth ride when you want a Grand Touring experience. Mag Ride is so good that Ferrari pays GM to use this technology in their sports cars. The Mag Ride Control also includes Performance Traction Management. With this system, five separate settings of torque reduction and brake intervention facilitate maximum grip on the road for more confident driving. The Z51 Performance Package also includes larger brakes with slotted rotors, and dual brake ducts that transport air from the front grille through the wheel wells to effectively cool the front brakes and expel heat. This reduces brake fade and optimizes stopping performance.
Illuminated by innovative digital features and intelligent driver controls, the Stingray cockpit is a stunning change from your typical interior scenery. The Stingray interior is imbued with a deep respect for authentic materials. Real aluminum. Real carbon fiber for the roof, hood, and hatch. Leather hand selected and crafted to adorn a new generation of elegance. The GT seat begins with a lightweight magnesium frame and cradles the driver for optimal comfort and support. Precision hand-stitching hugs each and every contour. The passenger air vent includes an interior temperature control and indicator. In every detail, this interior is designed for total comfort. The leather-wrapped power tilt and telescopic steering wheel includes controls for Bluetooth wireless technology, cruise control, audio system and Driver Information Center.
Gauges are configurable. You can choose a look that you like, or allow changes to the driver mode to match the display to the mode. Choose from five distinct driver modes -- Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track -- which electronically calibrate up to 12 performance variables so you can customize your Stingray for any road. Weather helps moderate the power for rain and other inclement conditions. Eco maximizes your fuel economy. . .you can get more than 30 MPG's in a car that has a top speed close to 190 MPH. Tour is the everyday setting, comfortable enough for commuting. Sport opens up the Dual Mode exhaust and sharpens the handling. Track mode is designed for legitimate race settings. Launch control provides maximum off-the-line acceleration. Steering effort and Magnetic Selective Ride Control damping adjust to provide maximum responsiveness. Performance Traction Management is enabled. Throttle progression optimizes for track performance. Gauge configuration offers a GTLM (GT Le Mans) Corvette Racing inspired display complete with shift lights and lap timer.
One key option on this car is Museum Delivery. As the car works its way down the production line, every worker sees the VIP tag placed on the car. Assembly workers put an extra effort to make sure this car is as perfect as they can make it. Once completed, this car was test driven by a GM Engineer over a 24 mile test drive. Only a handful of cars receive this final test regiment, and this car is one of the lucky ones. After the test drive, specialists at the Museum prepare the car for delivery. If they discover something, it is the factory, not a dealer mechanic, which fixes the issue. This is only available with Museum Delivery.
