When it comes to American sports cars, few models have the prestige and performance-based heritage of the Chevy Corvette. The Corvette was first introduced in 1953. It has since been a quintessential example of what to look for in a sports car, with powerful engines, sleek and gorgeous designs, and innovations generation after generation. No matter what you are looking for in a Chevy Corvette, you will find some of the best vehicles to ever grace the road.
The first generation for the Chevy Corvette started in 1953 and ran through 1962, with I-6 engines as the standard choice, and V8 engines becoming available in 1955. In 1963, the second generation of the Chevy Corvette kicked off with the introduction of the Sting Ray and a sleek design that would inspire sports-car-enthusiasts for years to follow. The third generation ran from 1968 to 1982 and included a wide range of models, including Stingray coupes with T-top roofs and a wide range of powerful engines.
In 1984, the fourth generation of the Chevy Corvette was introduced with a complete redesign, the first since 1963, and it ran through 1996. The fifth generation also featured a complete redesign, one of the most comprehensive since the introduction of the Corvette; it was released in 1997 and ran through 2004. It was followed by the sixth generation in 2005, which went through 2013, and while it was marketed as an “all-new” release, many Corvette fans see it as an extension of the previous generation. A seventh generation was set to be released in 2011 but was delayed until 2014 and only ran through 2019.
An all-new boldly redesigned mid-engine Chevy Corvette was released in 2020 for the eighth generation and essentially reinvented everything expected from a Corvette. With a shorter nose and longer mid-section, due to the mid-vehicle engine placement, this all-new Corvette is revolutionary, while living up to the incredible tradition of its name.
Here at Blossom Chevrolet, we love every generation and model of the Chevy Corvette, from its beginnings through the Stingrays that followed.
The 2016 Chevrolet Corvette is part of the seventh-generation of this iconic car, although it's hard to believe this is the third model year of this generation when you look at it. It looks as fresh and modern today as it did at its launch, which makes it even more difficult to believe it had been in development since as far back as 2007 before making its debut as a 2014 model.
The car is available in what are effectively three trim levels, the Stingray, Z51, and Z06, although there are also a number of sub-trims to choose between. Each version of the 2016 Chevrolet Corvette is also available as either a coupe or convertible. A mid-engine format had been considered for the C7, but GM decided to stick with the front-engine, rear-wheel drive format for the time being.
The entry into the 2016 Corvette family is the Stingray, which comes equipped with a 6.2-liter LT1 V8 developing an impressive 455 horsepower and 460 lb-ft, of torque. A seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching and launch control is standard across the entire 2016 Chevrolet Corvette lineup, although there's also an eight-speed automatic with paddle-shift as an available option. There are also 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT sub-trims of the Stingray available.
Next up in the middle of the current lineup is the Z51, which also comes in 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT sub-trims and has the same engine as the standard Stingray. However, the Z51 Performance Package includes the performance exhaust, which sees the horsepower of the LT1 increase to 460 horsepower and the torque increases to 465 lb-ft.
Last, but definitely not least, is the magnificent Z06, which gets the awesome 6.2-liter LT4 supercharged V8 and puts as much as 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque at your disposal. Like the LT1, the LT4 in the Z06 comes standard with the seven-speed manual transmission, but the eight-speed automatic is available.
The Z06 might be something of a rocket-ship with 0 to 60 mph coming up in just 2.95 seconds if you choose the eight-speed automatic, but the Stingray is certainly no slouch, reaching 60 mph in just four seconds from a standing start.
Available in coupe or convertible, the 2017 Corvette Stingray offers six trim options for added performance and conveniences. It is also available in the Grand Sport and Z06 body styles.
From its perforated leather seats to its Bose® premium sound system, the interior of the 2017 Corvette at Blossom Chevrolet provides the comfort and amenities its driver deserves.

Now that you've accessed the soundtrack to your thrill ride, take in the sportscar atmosphere to enhance your experience. The new Corvette's three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel offers a premium grip for added control, and its lightweight GT bucket seats provide optimal support and comfort.
The 2017 Corvette comes standard with a 6.2L LT1 V8 engine that gives you the power to blow past the competition. With 460 horsepower, it beats out the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, Porsche 718 Boxster, and Porsche 718 Cayman. The 2017 Corvette achieves a zero-to-60 time of just 3.7 seconds, and its standard BREMBO® brakes give you the stopping power you need. The supercharged 650 horsepower 6.2L LT4 V8 engine of the Corvette Z06 provides the capability to go from zero to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds.
Racing enthusiasts will admire the 2017 Corvette's standard 7-speed manual transmission. However, it's available 8-speed automatic paddle shift transmission delivers smooth and precise shifts. Take your Corvette on the Indianapolis highways and keep a record of your driving sessions with the available Chevrolet Performance Data Recorder.
Chevrolet knows driving information in a sports car is crucial, but so is keeping your eyes on the road. That's why the 2017 Corvette's available head-up display projects critical data in your line of sight on your windshield, which allows you to stay focused on what lies ahead.
The 2017 Corvette comes standard with a rearview camera and OnStar® Guidance Plan, which includes automatic crash response and roadside assist.
The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette comes from a long lineage known for offering massive performance at an affordable price point. The new Chevrolet Corvette exceeds expectations with a huge 6.2L V8 kicking out 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. A 7-speed manual with rev matching is standard for optimal driver involvement.
The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette proves that sports cars can be fun and provide a high level of occupant protection.
