What Engine Options in the C7 Corvette Should I Know About?

I feel like it depends on your driving style. If you’re just looking for fun and occasional track days, the Stingray is perfectly capable. But if you want to dominate on the track, you can’t beat the Z06.

Totally agree, cheryllong! That said, I’m just having fun with my Stingray on the weekends. It’s surprisingly agile!

What’s the fuel efficiency like between these models? The last thing I want is to spend all my time at the pump!

Good question, andrew16! The Stingray is definitely more fuel-efficient, offering about 16 city/29 highway mpg. The Z06 can drop down to around 15 city/22 highway, mainly due to its powerful performance.

Wow, that’s a noticeable difference! For those of us who drive a lot, the Stingray might be the smarter choice.

If anyone’s concerned about maintenance costs, the Z06 might get you with insurance and repairs as it demands more due to the engine and performance parts. Just something to keep in mind!

Whoa, I didn’t even think of that! Insurance costs can really add up. Thanks for the heads-up, gabrielamartin.

I love how the C7 appeals to both daily drivers and performance junkies. It’s like a car for everyone, with options to suit distinct preferences.

That’s what makes it interesting! Each variant of the C7 definitely has a character of its own. Which one has the best sound, though? That’s an important factor for enthusiasts!

I’d say the Z06, hands down! That supercharged whine is music to my ears! It makes the thrill of driving even better.

Haha! True, but isn’t the Stingray’s engine pretty sweet too? It has that classic V8 rumble!

Both engines are pretty fantastic in their own right. Just depends on whether you want power or a more refined driving experience! I’ll take either, to be honest.
