Sixties-era purists may balk at the new
2017 Corvette, with its aggressively aerodynamic and wide body, dotted
high-performance tires, and burly V8 engine. They may recoil at the sight of
Chevy’s unique heads-up display, scoff at its integrated driver-mode knob, and
shake their heads when presented with its customizable instrumentation cluster.
These features were all but inconceivable in the sports car’s heyday, when
hitting 60 mph in under eight seconds would have been equally as miraculous as
discovering the Fountain of Youth.
No, your father’s Corvette it is not. And that’s a good
thing—the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette is much, much
better, and it’s available right now at Dimmitt Chevrolet – your preferred new
and used car dealership in
Clearwater, FL.
Presenting The All-New Lineup of Corvette Models
New Corvettes don’t grow on trees; they’re engineered to be
better than your typical sports car, which is why Corvettes don’t simply get
badge jobs every model year. When a Corvette is released, it marks a new year
in which to celebrate American traditions. And with the 2017 models, we’ve got
a lot to celebrate.
2017 Corvette Stingray
At the bottom of the lineup—as if there were a bottom when
discussing one of the world’s most acclaimed sports cars—is the 2017 Chevy
Corvette Stingray. It’s the essential Corvette for any track rat or racing
enthusiast. Fitted with an impressive 6.2L LT1 V8 engine that pushes 460
horsepower and 465 pounds-feet of torque, the Stingray boasts a 3.7-second
zero-to-sixty time. That’s more than enough to make a yellow light, though it doesn’t
come with a lawyer to get you out of a ticket.
Stylistically, the Corvette Stingray is as impeccable as it
is powerful underneath the hood. It’s built on a stiff aluminum frame that’s
100 pounds lighter than its predecessor
and has sculpted headlamps and taillights that house bi-xenon HID lights, as
well as LED turn signals and a spoiler-mounted stoplamp.
The front badging and air extractor not only give the Corvette a sporty look,
but they also lessen airflow, reduce lift, and increase downforce—all to
improve handling and cooling. Powertrain cooling has been adapted from previous
models to guide that air into two heat exchangers, which work to further cool
engine temperatures during high-performance use.

2017 Corvette Grand Sport
Quick but docile, the 2017 Grand Sport delivers all you’d anticipate
from a sports car with the Corvette moniker. Sharing the same V8 as the
Stingray, the Grand Sport is wider yet somehow slightly quicker coming off the
line, which is likely due to its refined suspension and lightweight chassis. Carbon fiber rocker panels reduce weight, a lowered hood provides optimal
balance, and a dual-mode exhaust system also improves performance.
Ask any racing aficionado what makes a sports car a sports
car, and they’ll tell you it’s all about the tires. With the 2017 Corvette Grand Sport, standard Michelin Pilot Super Sports
are affixed to each end of the axle. These supply an enormous amount of
traction—think 1.20 g’s of lateral grip, which is more than enough for the race
track let alone the highways between St. Pete and Tampa—on dry pavement.
Available carbon-ceramic brake rotors enhance cornering capabilities, while the
car’s standard electronically controlled slip
differential improve traction control.

As inviting as the car looks from the outside, it’s the
features that make it a work of art. The available Chevrolet Performance Data
Recorder system is an eye-opener and essential for any novice trackster. It will allow you to log performance
data, which can then be analyzed to improve technique, ability, and more. The
special Valet Mode captures video, giving you peace of mind when guests get
behind the wheel. Napa leather seating and a suede-wrapped steering wheel are
welcome additions, too.
The refinement doesn’t stop
there; within the cockpit you’ll discover features like a fully customizable
instrumentation cluster, smart device integration with hand and voice
recognition, an 8-inch LCD touchscreen, steering wheel-mounted controls, Bose
audio and SiriusXM radio, USB ports, Chevy MyLink with Android Auto and Apple
CarPlay compatibility, 4G LTE Wi-Fi, OnStar™, a heads-up display that projects
data onto the windshield, and controls to adjust drive modes.
The five available drive modes (Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport,
and Track) are what set the 2017 Chevy Corvette apart from its competition and
make it the most technologically advanced Corvette yet. Calibrated
electronically, these modes control up to
12 variables to optimize handling and performance for any road conditions. Set
in Sport or Track, body roll is nearly nonexistent no matter the harshness of
the road.
