Parts shortages are forcing Chevy to cut production of the 2021 Corvette in order to prevent any delay in the production of the 2022 model year. This shortage was unplanned and not related to the semiconductor shortage plaguing the auto industry. They are not planning on cancelling any orders that were accepted prior to the announcement.

New Corvette Stingray delivers impressive gas mileage

6 2014-Chevrolet-Corvette-047

The all new, 2014 Corvette Stingray has generated a ton of buzz with the new C7 body style, and now it’s making headlines for . . . gas mileage! That’s right. GM announced that the 2014 Corvette Stingray will deliver up to an EPA-estimated 17 miles per gallon in the city, and 29 mpg on the highway, when equipped with an all-new, seven-speed manual transmission. The estimate reflects an average of fuel economy in both the default “Tour” mode, which delivers 28 mpg highway, and driver-selectable “Eco” mode, which delivers 30 mpg highway.

So you’ll get some serious power with 455 horsepower, incredible new styling, and now some decent gas mileage as well. It looks like a hit.
