2014 Corvette Stingray coupe, Z51 details revealed in order guide

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray won't arrive at select dealer lots until summer, but you can get a jump-start on the ordering process now that the ordering guide has been released at Corvette Blogger.

There's a lot of press release-worthy copy in the guide (“sleek, sculpted profile,” “richly appointed interior design”), but there are also plenty of details to whet the appetites of the C7-hungry masses.

The guide contains an exhaustive breakdown of what is, and isn't, available on the 1LT, 2LT and 3LT trim levels of both the base Stingray and the Z51 coupe -- including wheel, seating and exterior color options. All in all, it's enough to start picking out all the features of your dream Stingray -- unless one of those features is a drop-top, that is. The guide makes no mention of the Stingray convertible, which we expect will emerge at the tail end of this year.

The faithful will be pleased to know that Corvette Museum delivery continues, and you'll still be able to get magnetic selective ride control on the upcoming Z51.

Still, we're going to have to wait a while to learn more about the Stingray's performance. According to the guide, GM estimates a 0-60 time of “under four seconds” and restates an estimated 450 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque output -- but we already knew all that.

According to Corvette Blogger, pricing should arrive before the National Corvette Museum's annual “Bash” event, which kicks off April 25.
