Best Trim

We highly recommend the Stingray 2LT as an excellent option.

Around $75,400 MSRP, the Stingray delivers great value. It boasts a powerful 490-horsepower V8 engine and includes many features at no extra cost. When you move up to the 2LT package, you gain attractive comforts like heated and cooled front seats, wireless phone charging, a premium Bose sound system, and a warning system for vehicles approaching from the side or rear. We believe the mid-range 2LT model, or the Z06's 2LZ trim, offers the ideal mix of performance and affordability.

It costs roughly 10% more than the basic version that starts around $69,995 MSRP, but it includes extras such as heated and ventilated seating, a wireless charger for your phone, navigation, an improved Bose sound system, and alerts for blind spots and rear cross-traffic.

Trim Level MSRP

Stingray: $69,995 MSRP
E-Ray: $108,595 MSRP
Z06: $116,795 MSRP

FAQs

Is the Corvette made in the USA? Yes, it sure is! The Corvette is proudly built in America and has long been a symbol of American performance and design.

Who builds the Corvette? Chevrolet, a division of General Motors (GM), builds the Corvette. GM is America’s largest car company and one of the biggest automakers in the world.

What country is the Corvette produced in? The Corvette is 100% American-made. It’s often called “America’s Sports Car” for good reason, it’s built right here in the U.S.A.

Where is the Corvette put together? Every new Corvette rolls off the line in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

GM has assembled Corvettes there since 1981
The Performance Build Center at this plant hand-builds high-performance engines
Earlier Corvettes were made in Michigan and Missouri before production settled in Kentucky

Bowling Green remains the Corvette's exclusive home to this day.

How long has the C8 Corvette Stingray been on the market? The mid-engine Corvette Stingray hit the streets six years ago. Since then, it’s completely changed what people expect from an American sports car.

Is the base 2025 Stingray still a good buy with newer models out? Definitely! Even with high-powered versions like the Z06 and E-Ray, the standard Stingray still shines. Now that supply has caught up, it’s easier to obtain, and it still delivers amazing speed, style, and comfort for the price.

How does the 2025 Stingray stack up against other performance cars? For the money, it’s a total performance gem. It runs a naturally aspirated V8, something few cars still offer in 2025. Only a handful, like the Mustang or Lexus LC, can say the same, and the Stingray outperforms most of them. Add the Z51 package and it even gives supercars a scare.

How fast is the 2025 Stingray from 0-60 mph? With the Z51 package, it hits 60 mph in about 3.3 seconds. Some testers using a rolling start method have seen it dip closer to 2.8 seconds. That’s seriously quick.

Does it stop well too? Yes, very well. It can go from 60 to 0 mph in under 100 feet. That’s better than even the E-Ray and Z06, and they have more expensive carbon-ceramic brakes.

Is the Stingray the lightest model in the C8 lineup? Yes, it’s the lightest of all the current C8 models, which helps with both speed and handling.

Can you drive the C8 Stingray every day? You sure can. It’s comfortable, fairly quiet, and handles daily driving better than most expect. There’s enough trunk space, front and back, for groceries, weekend bags, or even a carry-on suitcase.

Is there a manual transmission option? No manual this time. Instead, the Stingray comes with a slick dual-clutch automatic. It shifts quickly, responds instantly, and gives you paddle shifters on the steering wheel for full control when you want it. For most drivers, it’s a win-win.

What’s special about the 2025 Stingray convertible? The hardtop convertible is quiet, solid, and well-built. It even lets you roll down the rear window to hear the engine more. Best of all, the trunk still works with the top down, something older convertibles didn’t offer. Many also think it looks better than the coupe.

How does it handle speed bumps or steep driveways? The Stingray offers an optional front lift system that raises the nose to clear curbs or bumps. Even better, it remembers where you’ve used it and will automatically raise the car the next time, you’re near that spot.

How’s the sound system in the 2025 C8? The available 14-speaker Bose system sounds great. It’s crisp, clean, and gets the job done, especially when playing high-quality audio files.

What’s new for the 2025 Stingray? Sebring Orange returns to the color lineup. There’s also a new Z51 spoiler design that’s sportier but doesn’t block the trunk. It adds flair without getting in the way.

What’s up with the digital gauge cluster? The digital display is sharp and customizable. It changes based on your drive mode and lets you view data like tire pressure, oil temps, G-forces, and even track your laps. It’s easy to use and looks high-tech.

Does the 2025 Stingray still turn heads? Absolutely. Even with more aggressive models like the Z06 and ZR1, the Stingray still looks exotic. Flashy colors and blacked-out trim help get it mistaken for a Lamborghini more than you’d expect, especially by kids and car lovers.

Which 2025 Corvette trim is the best option? Most buyers go for the Stingray 2LT, and for good reason, it hits the sweet spot between price and features.

Starting around $75,400, the 2LT gives you a strong 490-horsepower V8, plus upgrades like:

Heated and ventilated seats
Wireless phone charging
Premium Bose audio
Blind zone and rear cross-traffic alerts

It costs about 10% more than the base 1LT (which starts near $69,995), but you get a lot more for your money. If you're eyeing the Z06, the 2LZ trim is the smart middle ground for that model, too.

What safety features come with the 2025 Corvette? The 2025 Corvette packs more safety tech than any previous model.

Standard features now include:

Automatic Emergency Braking
Forward Collision Alert
Lane Keep Assist
Side Blind Zone Alert
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
HD rearview and front cameras
Head-Up Display that shows key info on the windshield

Together with the Corvette’s sturdy frame and advanced airbag system, these features help keep you safe behind the wheel.

What trim levels are available for the 2025 Corvette? The 2025 Corvette comes in nine trims, each offering a different mix of luxury and performance:

1LT, 2LT, 3LT – Base Stingray trims
1LZ, 2LZ, 3LZ – Premium Stingray and Z06 trims
Z06 – High-performance model (since 2023)
Z06 Carbon Edition – Special edition from 2023–2024
E-Ray – Hybrid performance Corvette introduced in 2024

In general, LZ trims include more upscale touches than LT versions. Z06 trims are built for speed and track use, while the E-Ray blends performance with electrified power.

What drive modes does the 2025 Corvette offer? The 2025 Corvette gives you nine unique drive modes so you can match your car’s behavior to how you’re driving:

Weather – For rain or slick roads
Tour – Smooth and relaxed daily driving
Sport – Sharper response and livelier feel
Track – Maximum performance for racing conditions
My Mode – Save your own custom settings
Z Mode – Performance-tuned mode at the push of a button
Stealth Mode – Electric-only mode on E-Ray for quiet driving
Shuttle Mode – Electric low-speed driving (E-Ray only)
Charge+ Mode – Charges the battery faster on the E-Ray

These modes let you adjust things like steering, throttle response, suspension, and exhaust sound to your liking.
