A New Machine for a New Generation. The All-New 2014 Corvette Stingray Coupe

“Precision” isn’t just a word. For the designers of the all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray, it was a mantra. Throwing off the constraints of tradition, our world-class engineers started over from scratch to build a revolutionary lightweight vehicle with the aesthetic impact and the performance prowess worthy of the Stingray emblem. With its sculpted athletic exterior and driver-oriented cockpit, Stingray is a beautiful weapon against the ordinary. But its ingenious design is purpose-driven. A lightweight aluminum space frame replaces steel. Carbon-fiber and carbon-nano-composite structures reduce weight even further to achieve optimal handling and acceleration. Stingray boasts thirdgeneration Magnetic Selective Ride Control™, a 7-speed transmission with Active Rev Matching and 5 distinct driver modes ready for any road. With 460 horsepower, 465 lb.-ft. of torque, 1.03 g cornering and a sophisticated LT1 engine that propels Stingray from 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds—it’s the quickest, most powerful, most capable standard Corvette ever made. And since the best cars deserve only the best of care, the 2014 Corvette Stingray comes standard with Chevrolet Complete Care that includes oil and oil filter changes, 4-wheel tire rotation and a 27-point vehicle inspection.

Off-Road terms and Trail Etiquette If you’ve never been off-roading in your Jeep, it’s time to pull out your calendar and mark a date. There’s no better time than summer to take an adventure outside of your everyday life and experience what it truly means to have a Trail Rated vehicle. To get you started, we’re providing a list of off-roading terms you’re going to need to know as you’re preparing to hit the trails. Articulation – Articulation happens when one or more wheels are elevated and others are planted on the ground. This helps your Jeep drive over rocks and other objects you may encounter on the trail while maintaining stability. Crawl Ratio – Your Jeep’s crawl ratio is what allows it to climb steep inclines or take on taller rocks. It allows your vehicle to slowly maneuver up and over your obstacle without you having to use the accelerator. Ground Clearance – Ground clearance refers to the height of objects your vehicle can take on without causing any damage to the underside of your vehicle. Low-range – The low-range feature on your Jeep helps you to add additional traction when needed. Traction – Traction is what helps keep your Jeep from sliding on slippery or wet surfaces. It helps you maintain control of the vehicle, particularly when driving in rain, snow and mud. If you’re new to the world of off-roading in your Jeep, learning the ways of the trail can be a little intimidating. That’s what we’re here for. Now, we’ll highlight several of the unwritten rules of trail etiquette and take you through what to expect when you’re first getting out there. Just like regular city driving, the world of trail blazing has its own unique set of rules. Below are some common situations you may find yourself in while taking on any trail. Do: Keep other vehicles in sight. Especially if the trail you’re on is not particularly clear, it’s easy to lose track of other vehicles in your party. Make sure you can always see the vehicle behind you in your rear view mirror to prevent anyone from getting off track. Don’t: Tailgate. Trust us, tailgating on the trail is even more irritating than on the highway. And it’s dangerous. Allow the vehicle ahead of you to completely pass over the obstacle before you make an attempt. Do: Allow vehicles going up an incline to have the right of way. If a vehicle going up an incline loses momentum, it can cause a potential loss of traction. If you come across this situation on the trail, the vehicle going down should pull over as safely and quickly as possible. Don’t: Speed. Trail riding is not a quick activity. Take your time, be aware of all obstacles and enjoy the environment around you. Do: Be prepared. When it comes to spending time on the trails, we couldn’t agree more that it’s better to be safe than sorry. Make sure you bring the essentials, including tow straps, a first-aid kit, a CB radio and a spare tire among other things.
