Chevrolet Corvette Review, For Sale, Models, Specs & News in Australia

More of a sports car than a muscle car, the Chevrolet Corvette has served as GM’s halo sports car product in various forms since 1953.

Originally a drop-top convertible, the Corvette has been sold as a lightweight coupe, and for the eighth-generation model, a mid-mounted sports car.

The line-up currently starts at $175,000 for the Corvette Stingray 2LT and ranges through to $336,000 for the range-topping Corvette Z06.

Chevrolet Corvette Speed

Chevrolet claims a 0-100km/h time of just 2.9 seconds for the Corvette Stingray. Its top speed is a claimed 312km/h.

Chevrolet Corvette Interior

The interior of the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is focused on the driver. The design of the dashboard and the centre console wrap around the driver’s seat and position all the screens and switchgear towards the driver. Naturally this makes life for the passenger a bit more awkward, with some of the controls and buttons more difficult to access.

Chevrolet Corvette Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Chevrolet Corvette here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Does the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette have any major problems?

    The C8 Corvette (current model) is a fabulous piece of kit. It gives more or less supercar performance and handling for less than half the price of many established supercars, which makes it one of the all-time great motoring bargains.

    As far as reliability goes, that will depend on the car’s history and whether it’s been maintained correctly. I’d also be a bit leery of car that has seen its share of track use (something the Corvette is otherwise very good at thanks to its performance envelope).

    The 6.2-litre engine is a very well known quantity and is generally regarded as bulletproof. The only real question mark lies over the dual-clutch transmission, and some owners overseas have reported electronic and oil leak problems with the Corvette’s transmission. It’s worth mentioning, though, that our conditions don’t always match those of other countries, but the small number of Australian-delivered C8 Corvettes makes it hard to know how widespread these problems are.

    Would I own one? In a heartbeat.

  • Camaro or Corvette coming to Australia?

    We hear lots of speculation but nothing solid yet. If it happens it's most likely to be the Corvette, which will be easier to convert to right-hand drive. GM International boss Stefan Jacoby told CarsGuide's Joshua Dowling in January: "We will bring a true sports car to Australia for the brand Holden."

  • Bright idea for spark plugs

    RUNNING a different fuel -- or even a cleaner through the engine regularly -- might well be a way of preventing the carbon build-up that leads to the problem with the plugs in the Ford V8. The problem is most people only realise there is a problem when the plugs break while being removed.

  • High-cost corvette

    IT WOULD be cheaper to run on LPG, but the cost to fit LPG may be too high to warrant the change. It's not a normal installation and will probably need a lot of custom work. Get an expert to determine the problems of fitting the tank, air ducting for the intake and the suitability of the intake manifold.

Chevrolet Corvette Range

The official claimed consumption is 13.5L/100km, which is thirsty for a regular car but not outrageous for a V8-powered sports car. If you can achieve that official figure you can expect to get more than 500km between trips to the petrol bowser, as the Corvette is fitted with a sizable 70-litre fuel tank.
