2024 Chevrolet Corvette

LT2 V8, a naturally aspirated 6.2L small-block powerhouse. Optimized for the mid-engine layout, it delivers 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque (with the Z51 Performance Exhaust). It features a Dry Sump Oiling System and is paired exclusively with a lightning-fast 8-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission. This engine is a jewel of American engineering: massive, raw V8 grunt channeled for surgical, sub-three-second acceleration

The Z51 package utilizes an aggressive, staggered setup: 19-inch-diameter wheels in the front and 20-inch-diameter wheels in the rear. These wheels are wrapped in ultra-high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport 4S run-flat tires, which are an integral part of the Z51's increased grip and track capability. The exact sizes are 245/35ZR19 up front and wider 305/30ZR20 at the rear, prioritizing traction and on-road/track handling

The Z51 Performance Package features a robust braking system designed for consistent track performance. It consists of larger, heavier-duty rotors than the base model:
• Front Rotors: 13.6-inch (345 mm)
• Rear Rotors: 13.8-inch (350 mm)
The calipers are monobloc fixed calipers (four-piston front, two-piston rear) which are more rigid and use larger brake pads to provide a firmer pedal feel and improved thermal management. The entire system is engineered with additional cooling ducts to maintain braking efficiency during extreme driving

TREMEC 8-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). This track-bred transaxle ditches the traditional manual for sub-100-millisecond shifts, ensuring continuous power delivery for blistering acceleration. Its intelligent algorithms predict driver intent, holding gears aggressively. With a dedicated Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) integrated via the Z51 package, it’s a perfect fusion of manual control and automatic speed."
