controlled exhaust valves to enhance audible feedback from the V-8 depending on the
drive mode
Electronic limited-slip differential (Z51):

engages, to balance between steering response and stability in different driving
conditions; more aggressive performance in Sport and Track modes

steering feel for the driving condition

Adjusts shock damping based on road conditions, from
optimized comfort to performance driving
Launch control:

providing maximum off-the-line acceleration
Active handling (StabiliTrak stability control):
A “competitive” setting is available in
Track mode and is more suited for on-track conditions. It can also be disabled, giving the
driver complete control
Traction control:
Weather mode tailors traction control and engine torque for driving in
inclement conditions
Performance Traction Management:
Available in Track mode and offers five settings
of torque reduction and brake intervention for track driving.
Three configurable displays, including a pair of eight-inch screens and color head-up display,
deliver personalized information and convey the different performance parameters of each drive
mode.
The two eight-inch screens offer excellent visibility in direct sunlight, with 650 cd/m2 of
brightness for the one integrated into the instrument cluster and 1,000 cd/m2 of brightness for
the one in the center stack, making them among the brightest screens in the industry. The
screen in the center stack also features touch-screen control with gesture recognition and can
be lowered to reveal a hidden storage compartment that includes a USB input for device
charging or uploads.
The Corvette Stingray delivers an advanced infotainment system, featuring Chevrolet MyLink
and high-definition radio, as well as enhanced OnStar with 3D navigation maps. Additional USB
ports in the center console, a stand-alone audio input jack and an SD card slot provide
seamless connectivity.
