Corvette Show at Dimmitt Benefits Suncoast Animal League

On Saturday, Oct. 18, Dimmitt Chevrolet hosted the 17th Annual Bay Area Corvette Club (BACC) gathering, benefiting the Suncoast Animal League. More than 700 Corvette enthusiasts attended the festive affair, which featured dozens of meticulously maintained Corvettes on display for all to enjoy. Dimmitt Chevrolet is an official sponsor of the BACC.

As part of the organization’s commitment to the local community, the event benefited the Suncoast Animal League, a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter located in Palm Harbor. An Adopt-A-Thon was held during the event, and 10 animals were either placed in foster care or adopted. Additionally, the BACC donated $1,500 to this worthwhile organization.

“The Bay Area Corvette Club finished another banner year with its sponsor Dimmitt Chevrolet of Clearwater, Florida,” said BACC President Andrew Domarasky. “In addition to being a social club committed to promotion and enjoyment of ‘Americas Sports Car’ through motoring events such as Corvette Show participation, Autocross, and high-speed events, BACC’s charter is to support local charities through monetary donations and promotion at its two yearly Corvette shows.”

“BACC has grown to be the fourth largest club in the National Council of Corvette Clubs' Florida Region because of its popularity and reputation,” Domarasky noted. “BACC, in partnership with Dimmitt Chevrolet, will continue to sponsor community charities for those in need because of the giving nature of their respective organizations’ members, and their commitment to community support.”

Not only are we here at Dimmitt Chevrolet proud to both sponsor the BACC and host their annual event, we’re also proud to sell some of the most popular, well-built, technologically advanced, and exciting cars and trucks on the road today. At the top of the list is the 2015 Corvette Stingray. Fresh from the ground up with dramatic, aerodynamic styling, the Corvette’s bold, chiseled and aggressive look sets it apart. Ready to challenge the world’s supercars, the Corvette LT1 combines the latest in advanced engineering, including direct injection, variable valve time, and cylinder deactivation to deliver a new level of precision, performance, and efficiency.

Under the hood, the Corvette boasts a marvel of technological innovation with its 6.2-liter V8 delivering 450 hp and 450 lb. ft. of torque, resulting in 0-60 times of less than four seconds. A unique rear transaxle, compact engine design, available dry-sump oil system, and seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching create a new dimension of power, performance, refinement, and fuel efficiency unlike any Corvette ever built. Lightweight materials contribute to the Corvette’s world-class 50-50 weight distribution, and its all-aluminum frame is 57% stiffer and 99 pounds lighter than its steel-frame predecessor.

The new 2015 Corvette puts the driver in total control with five distinct modes: Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track that modify 12 different aspects of the Corvette’s handling, chassis setting, and performance; even including the sound of the exhaust.
