[ACCIDENT] Black 2020 Corvette Stingray Stuck on Snow-Covered Highway

Nothing worse than putting the company car into a snowbank on a cold ~~winter’s~~ fall day.

We are trying to decide if this 2020 Corvette Stingray is equipped with the Z51 package, which as you know, is outfitted with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires and not the all-season Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4’s that come standard on all non-Z51 Corvettes. It looks like there is a bit of the wing spoiler showing through the snow that’s piled on the rear deck so most likely you can chalk this one up having the wrong tires for the road conditions.

The changeover from the C7 to the C8 Corvette will mean five weeks of downtime for the more than 300 workers who had just gotten a new lease on life after transferring to the GM assembly plant in Bowling Green from the company’s Lordstown, Ohio facility that is shutting down after 53 years.

Motor Trend Admits First C8 Corvette Dyno Test was Botched

During their initial testing of the 2020 Corvette Stingray, Motor Trend took an opportunity on their final day with the car to put it on a Mustang Dyno to see what kind of power the new LT2 V8 engine was making. The results were “out-of-this-world” as their first and subsequent tests found the car was making way more power than the 495-hp that GM advertises.

Corvettes for Sale: Your Weekly Shopping List

The best thing about my second job here at CorvetteBlogger is that it finally allows me to put the countless hours that I spend browsing online car marketplaces to good use. If I were closer to my prime-earning years and/or came into a large amount of cheddar cheese through the lottery, inheritance, or collecting the bounty on John Wick, the following Corvettes (and a few surprises) would be a must for my collection. Unfortunately, neither time travel nor any other means of augmenting income worked out for me this week. My loss is your gain as I decided to share my shopping list with my loyal readership instead of hoarding listings in hope of a long-shot cash infusion; enjoy!
