Chevy Confirms Performance Numbers, C8 Quickest In Corvette History

2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Are We Really Surprised?

The performance numbers from recent reviews have been out for a while now, but Chevrolet had yet to reveal the official numbers for the 2020 Corvette. Horsepower and torque numbers were out, other specifications were out, but the official 0-60 mph time and the quarter-mile time were not. Now they are.

When you look at the 0-60 mph time of the 2020 Corvette Stingray you’ll see that Chevy marks the car at three seconds. That’s just the standard model. If you get the 2020 Corvette Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package, the number dips below three seconds to 2.9 seconds.
