Go fully loaded with a new 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

The new 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lineup offers Coupe and Electric Hardtop Convertible models. Furthermore, Stingray’s starting price is $65,995 MSRP for the 2023 Corvette Coupe and $73,095 for the Corvette Stingray Convertible. However, to go fully loaded, you’ll need to buy the 3LT trim, which has a starting price of $77,545 MSRP for the Coupe model and $84,545 MSRP for the Convertible model.

What features does the 2023 Corvette Stingray 3LT trim offer?

So, what do you get with a new 2023 Chevy Corvette Stingray 3LT trim? For the extra cost, what does it offer? Compared to the other Corvette trims, the 3LT trim offers a more premium interior. This includes the addition of GT2 bucket seats, the Custom Leather Wrapped Interior Package, and the Sueded Microfiber-Wrapped Upper Interior Trim Package.

Like the other Corvette Stingray trims, the 3LT trim features a 6.2-liter LT2 V-8 engine, which delivers an output of up to 490 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. This enables the Corvette Stingray to accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than three seconds (when equipped with the Z51 Performance Package).

For the ultimate in Corvette exclusiveness, you can get the 70th Anniversary Special Edition Package, which adds $5,995 to the price. The 70th Anniversary Special Edition Package honors the 70-year milestone of the Corvette’s 1953 debut.

• Edge Red engine cover

For enhanced performance, the Stingray offers the Z51 Performance Package, which costs $6,345 MSRP. Notable features in the Z51 Performance Package include Z51 performance Brembo brakes, dual-mode performance exhaust, a performance suspension setup, an Electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD), and a Z51-specific front splitter and rear spoiler.

Additional options and packages that cost extra include Competition Sport bucket seats ($500), premium outdoor and indoor car covers (up to $1,195), roof carriers (up to $1,399), chrome lugnuts ($245), a front lift with memory ($2,595), Magnetic Selective Ride Control ($1,895), Carbon Fiber Dual Roof Package ($3,495), and Stingray R Appearance Package ($695). Also, for $5,000, you can get a customer VIN ending reservation. 

When you buy the 3LT trim with the most expensive options and packages, including the 70th Anniversary Special Edition Package, a fully loaded 2023 Chevy Corvette Stingray costs around $110,000 for the Coupe and $117,000 for the Convertible model.

Is a fully loaded new 2023 Chevy Corvette Stingray worth the extra cost?

Should you buy a fully loaded new 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? Is it worth the extra cost? At a price of around $110,000 for the Coupe and $117,000 for the Convertible model, a fully loaded 2023 Corvette Stingray is certainly not for sports car buyers on a limited budget. 

However, compared to the high price of supercars such as Lamborghini and McLaren, a fully loaded Corvette Stingray is a bona fide bargain. Also, the 70th Anniversary Special Edition Package is a nice touch for Corvette enthusiasts who desire a high level of exclusiveness.
