The 2027 Corvette Stingray opens the lineup at $71,000 with the same 535-hp LS6 6.7L V8 that powers the Grand Sport above it, without the wider chassis or the price step that comes with it. It is the Corvette for a buyer who wants real performance without every option box checked.

Outten Chevrolet of Allentown stocks the Stingray in coupe and convertible, across all three model levels, for Lehigh Valley buyers in Bethlehem, Emmaus, Nazareth and Whitehall.

What the Stingray Adds Over Nothing: It Is the Starting Point

The Stingray is the base of the 2027 Corvette lineup, so there is no lower variant it steps up from. What it delivers on its own: the full 535-hp LS6 engine, the same three-screen technology suite carried across every model in the lineup, and the narrow-body chassis that keeps its price the lowest in the range. A buyer choosing the Stingray gives up only the wider stance and higher-output engines of the models above it, nothing on the technology side.

2027 Stingray Engine and Drivetrain

The Stingray runs Chevrolet's all-new LS6 6.7L naturally aspirated V8, a sixth-generation small-block making 535 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque, the highest torque figure any naturally aspirated production V8 has posted. A 13.0:1 compression ratio and a new continuously variable oil pump are both firsts for a Corvette engine. With the available Z51 Performance Package, a Stingray runs 0-60 in 2.8 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.0 seconds at 124 mph. Every Stingray is rear-wheel drive, standard, with no all-wheel-drive option on this model line. The standard 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is the only gearbox offered, combining the smoothness of an automatic with the control of a manual for consistent lap times.

Stingray Chassis and Hardware

The available Z51 Performance Package adds performance Brembo brakes, a firmer suspension tune, a performance rear axle ratio, an eLSD, a Stingray-specific front splitter and rear spoiler, and Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 summer-only tires, 245/35ZR19 front and 305/30ZR20 rear, plus heavy-duty cooling required for track use. Without Z51, the Stingray runs standard antilock disc brakes tuned for street driving rather than repeated track sessions. Available Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0 reads the road and adjusts damping in milliseconds, useful on the Lehigh Valley's freeze-thaw-damaged pavement as much as on a track.

Where the Stingray Sits in the 2027 Corvette Lineup

Grand Sport carries the Stingray's identical engine in the Z06's wider body, for about $15,000 more. Z06 steps up to a 670-hp naturally aspirated flat-plane V8. ZR1 and ZR1X move to a twin-turbo engine, topping out at 1,250 combined hp on the ZR1X. See the full lineup compared for how all five stack up, or browse current Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X inventory.

Which Buyer Should Choose the Stingray?

A first Corvette buyer gets the lowest price of entry into a genuine 535-hp sports car. A daily driver gets real performance without paying for track hardware that goes unused during the commute, plus the full three-screen technology suite standard from the base 1LT trim. A buyer building toward the Z51 Performance Package gets a track-capable car without stepping up to the Z06's price. A buyer who wants the option of a removable roof panel on nice-weather drives gets it as standard equipment on every coupe trim. See Stingray inventory.
