2020 C8 Corvette Stingray Z51 Performance Package Vs Base Model Review

Dave Stall and Chevrolet Communications Manager Shad Balch go Cruisin' in TWO 2020 C8 Corvette Stingrays reviewing the differences between the Z51 performance package and the stock base model. Part 1 of 2. Stickier tires, bigger brakes, improved cooling, enhanced traction, performance exhaust, more aggressive suspension setup, electronic limited-slip rear differential and a power increase are some of the typical upgrades of the Z51 over the base.
6.2 L V8 is rated at 490 hp (365 kW; 497 PS) at 6,450 rpm and 465 lb⋅ft (630 N⋅m) of torque at 5,150 rpm, an improvement of 40 hp (30 kW; 41 PS) and 10 lb⋅ft (14 N⋅m) over the outgoing C7 Corvette Stingray. The optional NPP sport exhaust system brings the total power output to 495 hp (369 kW; 502 PS) and torque to 470 lb⋅ft (637 N⋅m).

WHAT A GREAT VIDEO, VERY WELL DONE GUYS

[@montoyateam]

Amazing Video the best video about Corvette C8 really nice!!!!!!!!!

[@danieldanforth9625]

I will have one in the very near future

[@jaymontange8260]

Transmission have same gears. But the transfer gear , 1.48 Z51. Non Z51 1.36. That’s the multiplier that creates different 0-60 times. So the transmissions are not the same. Your video was nicely done and i am going to try again with the 2021 C8. In the mean time I’m enjoying my F150 King Ranch. Have you cruised in the F150 top trim trucks?

For me without wings looks more clean and way better

[@corvetteman0714]

Getting a 2021

[@gsxr3255]

580 plus horsepower? The Z51 generates 495 HP !!!

[@bentleyfierro3926]

Base model without wing looks BEST!

[@steveflor9942]

It's like buttuh

[@kelli5296]

No reason to spend the extra $5000 unless you are going to track the car.

Finally the 2020 corvette is as good as a 2012 Nissan GTR for roughly the same price. Great job GM
